==Description==
'''''Unbound''''' is a adventure for the [[MechWarrior, Second Edition]] RPG and [[BattleTech]], with the option of using the expanded rules of [[Solaris VII: The Game World]] set, set in the arenas of the [[Inner Sphere]]'s dueling capital, [[Solaris VII]]. The player characters are hired by the Solaris government to investigate the unique and unusual technology used by the [[BattleMech]]s of the [[Seven Deadly Sins Stables]], quickly becoming involved in the stable members' escalating feud of their insane mentor, [[NAIS]] Professor [[Burke Kale]], and the various efforts of agents from a [[NAIS#NAIS Crisis Intervention Team (NAISCIT)|NAIS Crisis Intervention Team]], [[SAFE]] and [[ROM]] to capture or control the advanced and lethal technologies stolen from the NAIS labs.

Unbound was the first official publication from [[FASA]] to include what would later be referred to as optional [[Rules Level 3]] weapons and equipment.

==From the back cover==
{{quote|''The [[Clan invasion]] left the [[Successor States]] struggling to recover from the war that devastated the forces of the [[Inner Sphere]]. The [[Federated Commonwealth]] took heavy losses, and its misfortune was compounded by the untimely death of [[Hanse Davion]]. The alliance is in a precarious position. The [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] has been charged to find a technological edge with which [[House Davion]] may regain its lost power. Study of [[Clan]] technology sent research in bold new directions, and led to an extraordinary breakthrough in BattleTechnology.''

''Unfortunately, the Federated Commonwealth's salvation is in the hands of a [[Burke Kale|madman]].''

Unbound ''is a roleplaying adventure set in the [[BattleTech]] universe of [[3053]] on the Game World of [[Solaris VII]]. The player characters become involved in a struggle for control of a radical new technology that could change the balance of power in the Inner Sphere. The adventure includes several new [['Mech]]s and a selection of new tech from one of [[New Avalon]]'s top research and development teams.''}}

==Notes==
* Many of the new weapons were apparently created in-universe by a Dr. [[James Long]], with many of them reappearing in the BattleTech ''[[Tactical Handbook]]'' written by real world [[James D. Long]]. Furthermore, The Pelican bar that crops up in this book would later reappear in Long's first BattleTech novel, ''[[Main Event]]''.
