As a squad of rookie Union mech pilots, the player characters (PCs) undertake a rescue operation amidst a burgeoning conflict between the Leandric States Alliance and the Vestan Sovereignty. Though this may be their first time in combat, they’ll need to use every bit of their training and push their mechs to the limit if they want to survive! Operation Winter Scar guides characters all the way to LL 4 across two more missions, pitting the now-seasoned pilots against the Vestan Sovereignty Armed Forces. From advanced combat chassis to main battle tanks, the Sovereignty will stop at nothing in their efforts to push the pilots back!

Here are the official descriptions of each:Touch down in the Karrakin Trade Barronies, the oldest human civilization in Union space. A place of deep tradition and legend, the Baronies is increasingly a realm of surging political intrigue and social division! But the great engine of industry in the Baronies is grinding to a halt, and a rising tide of Republicanism threatens to shake the Baronies to its core. Will you help usher in a new age for old Karrakis, or stand aside lest you be crushed? And set your sights on the Long Rim, a lawless sector of Union space. It is home to corrupt, self-serving Enterprises; pirate outfits that prey on unprotected ships; and myriad other groups, from the uncanny HORUS cells to the clandestine Horizon Collective. Alone, or with your small squad, you can't change the Rim; but you can make your mark, whether as a scoundrel or paragon.
