''In [[3146]], the [[Republic of the Sphere]] hangs by a tenuous thread. The last fragments of [[Devlin Stone]]’s dream to shepherd humankind toward a more prosperous future hide behind the impenetrable defenses of [[Fortress Republic]]. As the interstellar communications blackout rages, the ambitious Great Houses vie for military dominance, and the bloodthirsty Clans strive to find a weakness in the Fortress’s armor on their path to conquering [[Terra]] and claiming the coveted title of [[ilClan]]. When the Wall comes down, will the Inner Sphere plunge even further into the abyss of interstellar war, or will this herald the dawning of a new age?''
