From the Back Cover[edit]

“ THE FUTURE IS NOW

It is the 32nd century. After decades of peace and prosperity, interstellar communications break down and rumors of war sweep through the universe. As ancient hatreds and rivalries rear their ugly heads, people who have only known war through history books are suddenly thrust into the dark maelstrom of combat. Some fight for king and country, others for greed and power, others for love–all will struggle to defeat those who would see them destroyed, while protecting the only homes they have known.

Welcome to MechWarrior: Dark Age.
