From the back cover (1993 edition)
| “ | The Gray Death Legion is in the employ of the Free Worlds League and has even been given a landhold on the planet Helm. But dark forces conspire against them and the Legion soon finds themselves declared renegade, fair game for anyone to attack.
Now they are on the run on their home planet, trying desperately to reach safety before the might of House Marik falls upon them. They are about to discover the true motives of those who engineered their downfall. And what they discover will change the Inner Sphere forever. |

Summary
GDL is employed by FWL against CC. After the completion of a campaign, they are to be awarded the planet Helm as a reward. Helm has an ancient Star League cache on it though, and ComStar, in league with radical elements of FWL, try to frame GDL for a massacre so they can take possession of the treasure: a SL Memory Core. GDL escapes with help from Ricol.
