BattleTech: Star of Omens

Their Legend
The world of Third Earth was made by Khaldun-ra the Ever Living for his creations. He gave them not only the land to settle but the magic of technology to bend it to their will, so long as they obeyed him. Humanity rebelled first and convinced the other races to join them in opposing Khaldun-ra's tyranny. In their victory they formed the Starborn Council to govern Third Earth, at least until it's betrayal by the wizard Jaga. Jaga who brought with him darkness that stole away all technology and sundered the council. In his wake the world knew first warfare then terror as new magics arose. As each nation battles for its right to survive a few recall one prophecy and look to the skies.

Your Story
You are one of Wolf's Dragoons, the most professional and honorable mercenary outfit in the known galaxy. The hard truth is that standing for something means standing against someone. In 3028 the Draconis Combine sent overwhelming force to the aptly named world of Misery for the purpose of crushing the Dragoons. Through blizzards and against all odds the Dragoons prevailed. The battle's cost was high for the Dragoons' Epsilon Regiment. The next few decades would be spent rebuilding what was lost.

Able Company's First Lance has been placed in charge of training rookie Mechwarriors for the Dragoons. For the last three months you've been stationed on SR388, a periphery system so remote it doesn't warrant a name. What archaeologists hope to find isn't the business of the Dragoons, just keeping them from becoming another pirate produced crater. The endless monotony of patrols, exercises, and reports came to an abrupt halt with a message from Outreach, homeworld to the Dragoons. "All units invoke Void Clause, return home."

You've broken your contract and booked passage homeward on the same jump ship that brought your mysterious orders. There are a few constants in the 'verse: change, human stupidity, and the integrity of the Dragoons. So just what could be important enough to call you home?

Fenrir's Crew
The Leopard-Class mecha dropship, Fenrir, is home to you but also to the people that keep your mech running and your travel possible. Though you might be far from Outreach, these Dragoons are always with you.
