The Jade Falcon push to Terra for the IlClan Trial tore through many of the worlds of the Inner Sphere region known as the Hinterlands. Left behind and abandoned due to his clan's frantic dash, a remnant Jade Falcon Star Captain stands in the way of the nearby Alyina Mercantile League. The AML cannot abide this, and has sent out the call for enterprising mercenaries.

Answer that call, build your own force of BattleMechs, and take advantage of power pilot Edge Abilities. Command your force solo or cooperatively through the branching story campaign to discover how you'll shape this corner of the universe!
