MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries/Solaris Missions

Overview

MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries Solaris Missions details the unique campaign featured in Solaris Showdown, which can be played in both Campaign and Career Modes.

Calling All Mercenaries

With the Inner Sphere entering a period of relative peace after the War of 3039, the easing in the general tempo of conflict has forced less well-known mercenary units like the Cavaliers to make do with lower paying and more infrequent contracts, causing Commander Jake Mason to fear his unit has lost it's edge.

This malaise is broken when Mason is approached by Wayne Dyr, a notorious Solaris VII-based information broker with an intriguing offer on Galatea. With the Mercenary Star facing increasing pirate activity, Planetary Governor of Galatea Lawrence Bonham wants to employ proven mercs capable of dealing with the situation before it escalates, if Mason succeeds in this Dyr promises other opportunities will be on offer.

Depart for Galatea

Dyr is delighted that Mason has accepted and will notify Governor Bonham of his imminent arrival. With the famous Wolf's Dragoons drawing away more "honorable" mercenaries to their landhold of Outreach, crime and piracy has spiked among the less reputable commands that remain, a situation Governor Bonham is desperate to quickly resolve to protect the reputation of the Mercenary Star. Dyr reminds Mason that success in this mission will open doors for his unit, but also points out that the opposite will result if he fails.
