Canonicity
Written in German and exclusively published in that language so far, Gier does not meet the current criteria for Canon in the BattleTech universe. As an official product published under a valid license, it should be regarded as apocryphal.

Plot Summary
Richard Humphreys, ordered by his mother to marry Emma Centrella, daughter to the Magestrix of the Magistracy of Canopus, arrives in the Canopus system aboard the JumpShip Rana on 13 September 3029. He immediately becomes something of a hero during a JumpShip collision accident where his cool, level-headed handling of the situation saves countless lives (including his own).
Emma is well impressed with her fiancé, whose calm, reserved and gentlemanly manner is very unlike the typical Canopian behaviour. They spend a night together following a wild party and form a bond over their feeling that both of their lives are overshadowed by their respective mothers. However, Richard openly states that he still loves Elala Cisne, with whom he has a daughter (Dalma Humphreys). Elala and Richard were separated and exiled by Dame Humphreys while she raises her grandschild Dalma like her own child. Now Richard is determined to find his beloved and reunite with her despite his mother's machinations.
To her own surprise, Emma finds herself hurt by what she perceives as being rejected. She embarks on maneuvers with the Ramilie's Raiders mercenary unit and has a tryst with Nicolas Ramilie who will one day inherit the invaluable unit from his father.
