==Plot summary==
 
==Plot summary==
The 3 June 3151, a [[LCAF]] recon team arrives to the planet Arcturus, in the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone, and there they make contact with a resistance local team, which informs them than the Jade Falcons have departed, and the planet was free.
 
On the planet Kandersteg, Hauptmann-General Sarah Regis receives the inform, and, by her own initiative, decides to return her unit, the LCAF 26th Arcturan Guards, to Arcturus, their homeworld. Their officers agree to it.
 
Meanwhile, on Arcturus, Quaid McKlaven, the leader of local resistance, assists to a meeting of politicians, which aren't interested in nothing more than fill their pockets and argue about everything, while the population is hungry. The threat of a civil war was looming, and nobody knew how to prevent it.
 
The arrival of the 26th on Arcturus was totally unexpected, and apparently, everybody welcomed it, though most of the population don't want to rejoin the Lyran Commonwealth. Still worse, a cell of Jade Falcons was still active, and launches a crippling attack against the power plants of the capital.
 
Sarah Regis was forced to take more initiatives: as the planet Blue Diamond, under the control of a petty dictator, was holding the food shipments, she send a force to remove him.
 
Finally, with the approval of most of Arcturus' authorities, Sarah declares martial law on Arcturus, and announces the reformation of the Tamar Pact. The Lyran loyalists inside the unit are sent back to Lyran space, and she send a third of her forces to take another planet, Kerensky's vision, conquering it easily.
 
Slowly, the Pact grows, and finds help in other places, like the [[Alyina Mercantile League]], and [[Clan Sea Fox]], but also more enemies. A planet with [[BattleMech]] factories, Pandora, was conquered, though at a high cost.
 
But the worst enemy was in the Pact's capital: the ''loyal'' opposition, along with the Jade falcon cell, launch a total attack during a royal marriage ceremony, threatening to decapitate the Pact, but they failed, and the Falcons were annihilated. However, the opposition managed to survive, and began playing their next move against the pact.
