In the [[32nd Century]], the [[Republic of the Sphere]] is beset on all sides, its enemies seeking the most important weapon in the Inner Sphere: interstellar communication. As the forces of the [[Capellan Confederation]] [[Operation CLARITY|advance]] toward the heart of the crumbling Republic, they are laser-focused on the one goal that will give them the upper hand and help destroy the Republic once and for all: the planet of [[Northwind]].

Homeworld of the famed [[Northwind Highlanders]] mercenaries, Northwind represents not only the site of a century-old [[Northwind Agreement|betrayal]], but it boasts the only working [[hyperpulse generator]] along the line of the Confederation's advance. ''[[Sang-shao]]'' [[Lindsey Baxter]] and the [[Fourth McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] have been tasked with taking Northwind at all costs, and the besieged Republic is unable to lend further support to the defending [[XII Hastati Sentinels]]. Northwind will be easy pickings, and other sharks smell blood in the water. The Highlanders' honor remains strong, but will it be enough to survive the coming storm?}}
