The game is set during the Clan Invasion, and casts the character as a Clan Wolf [[MechWarrior]] receiving mission assignments from [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Conal Ward]] (spelled "Colonel Ward" in the game).  At the end of each mission, Ward promotes the warrior, ultimately bestowing a Bloodname and making this warrior the new Khan of Clan Wolf.  Though drawing on canon information presented in ''[[Wolf Clan Sourcebook]]'', ''[[Jade Falcon Sourcebook]]'', ''[[Objective Raids]]'', and ''[[Invading Clans]]'', the supposed Clan Wolf missions take place across all four invasion corridors, and take place chronologically out of order (for example, the December 3051 assault on [[Alshain]] comes before the November 3051 assault on [[Satalice]] and the July 3050 assault on [[Ridderkerk]]).  Canonicity issues are noted in the mission descriptions.
