Plot Summary[edit]
Star Commander Abizel, a Escorpión Imperio Seeker, is on a recon mission on the Hanseatic League planet Braunschweig. Near a forest she detects an ancient but fully-functional BattleMech Repair Facility (BRF) from the old Star League.
A team of Hanseatic Defense Force soldiers discovers her, lands nearby her with their VTOL, and starts looking for her. In the following fight, Abizel kills the three soldiers and VTOL pilots. After taking their tracking dog with her, she steals the VTOL to escape.
Two years later, Star Captain Abizel returns to Braunschweig during the Hanseatic Crusade. Her Trinary performs a combat drop nearby the BRF, in the attempt to capture the facility. A battle ensues, in which the Escorpión Imperio forces under Abizel crush the HDF units.
Abizel is impressed by a Hanseatic MechWarrior who strictly avoids to damage the BRF. After interrogating him, she learns than he also aims to protect the ancient facility and she takes him as a bondsman.
