Publisher's Description[edit]

Backstabbers. Assassins. Cowards. Dezgra.

To the elite headhunters of Stone's Trackers, these labels mean nothing. The only true measure of a warrior is success, and the Trackers will go to any length to ensure that Devlin Stone's vision does not falter.

Forged in the flames of the Jihad from a secret Clan Nova Cat unit and comprised of Inner Sphere and Clan veterans alike, the Trackers take on the missions too dirty for regular commands to touch. Masters of infiltration, ambush, and marksmanship, they are the ghosts at the edge of the firelight, the wraiths that even MechWarriors have learned to fear.

From the battlefields of Operation SCOUR to glory of the Capellan Crusades, Stone's Trackers hold to a code of honor of their own making, one that demands victory at any cost.

Spotlight On: Stone's Trackers includes a Unit History, Personalities, Personnel Rosters, Mission Tracks, and data for use with all scales of BattleTech play.
