October 3028, New Hessen

As Davion forces began their initial militaristic movements into the Capellan Confederation, BattleMech forces arrived in nine Capellan worlds. Among these the planet of New Hessen hosted a vicious fight between Capellan units - who were aided by a few mercenaries - and the Davion invaders. Davion units on New Hessen boasted some aid by Wolf's Dragoons, but only in the form of a handful of Dragoon Mechs.
Capellan mercenaries consisted of mostly small name units, teams such as Llana's Breakers, the Hessen 7's, and Fire Pact. All of these smaller teams faced difficult times during the fall of New Hessen. Some such as Fire Pact were left defenseless when they encountered vastly larger enemy groups. Though most of these mercenary units surrendered, Fire Pact fought on even after their commander had been killed. Secondary commander Damon Helm's Guillotine was among the last to fall.
Other mercenaries on New Hessen found safety in Capellan forces. Ace Leghorn's tiny two-lance team, the Acer's Hueys, was stationed near a small base hosting two companies of Capellan Confederation Armed Forces' Mechs. This base has aided the team in repairing their Mechs from the first two engagements the mercenaries have fought. Ace now anticipates the enemy's next move. Though he fears a sudden ambush or attack, his superior Capellan officers have given him orders that now leave his small mercenary unit vulnerable to Davion forces.
Ace must now choose to follow his superior's orders while leaving his team unprotected, or take matters into his own hands and suffer the consequences of military disobedience.
