The fight for Carver V is finished when the player defeats a crazed Colonel Renard (who appears in a jump-capable Atlas, which is unusual as Atlas 'Mechs cannot be equipped with jump-jets in the game otherwise) and destroys the Steiner High Command on planet. In exchange for revenge and Clan technology, the player fights on the rebel/Davion side, defending the city of Bannickburg, eliminating heavily defended Steiner and Liao bases, and even destroying the Liao palace (though Mandrissa Cho personally commits suicide after her elite guard is crushed). In Campaign 3, it is revealed that Baxter and Davion commander Major Kelly have allied, as Davion is not against an independent Carver V. Outraged by the death of her son and only heir, Mandrissa Cho sends a reprisal force of Liao units which are defeated with the help of Baxter, who once again sends his forces to help the mercenaries. Jason then steps forward to personally deal with the mercenaries, and is killed by the player. Jason gladly agrees, and player is forced to flee before advancing Steiner forces, and by securing an abandoned base, manages to beat the Steiner troops back. Colonel Renard agrees, seeing as both houses have a mutual enemy, the Davions, but only if Cho agrees to one condition-the mercenaries must die. In the following missions, the player is tasked with various covert ops missions, including the instigation of conflict between Steiner and Davion troops, a deployment deep into enemy lines to dispatch Steiner-held orbital guns, and an encounter with a couple of Davion bondsmen (spoils from Operation Bulldog) on Carver V's moon during a mission to destroy the hyperpulse generators there which are the only immediate means of communication to other worlds.īut despite the player's concurrent successes, it seems that Jason Cho is an incompetent commander, as Liao forces are regularly served beatings under his command and are forced to negotiate a truce with House Steiner. This mission also marks the first appearance of Baxter, the commander of partisan forces on planet, who dispatches transports to recover survivors. The mission starts with Renard saying "So, you've betrayed me too." and giving orders to destroy the camp, a fact that disgusts even normally-indifferent Lieutenant Diaz, the player's tactical advisor. For the first mission, the player is tasked with liberating a remote Steiner prison camp containing political prisoners, better known as the Gulag. The Mandrissa is seemingly ill with a terminal disease, and her last wish before she dies is for her son, Jason, to rule Carver V. The player is under the command of Mandrissa Anita Cho, Mandarin Cho's widow, and her son, Captain Jason Cho.

I've got plans for Carver V and you don't want to be part of them."Ĭampaign 2 begins with a twist as the player unit is now in the employ of its former enemy-House Liao. Despite the player's overwhelming success, Colonel Renard ends his contract with the mercenaries and hints at his motives with the blunt remark, "Do this and get out. The final mission of the campaign takes the player to the remote Little Bear island to destroy the last of the bandit forces, their HQ, and their leader.

In response to this and despite protests from Steiner's Ambassador Yee, Colonel Renard orders the player into Liao territory, shattering the tentative peace between local Liao and Steiner forces and beginning a new series of operations against Liao forces. These sentiments are confirmed when Liao forces grant refuge to a fleeing bandit convoy on the Steiner-Liao border. Suspicions arise of the bandits' allegiance when a captured mobile HQ reveals that they are headed by one Choung Vong, a former Liao officer.

In Campaign 1, the player is under the command of Colonel Renard and starts with a number of easy tasks (attacking bandit encampments and reclaiming facilities that have been overrun). However, when a suspiciously well-equipped bandit force threatens Steiner territory, the chief military representative of House Steiner, Colonel David Renard, proposes quite an unusual countermeasure-a "neutral" mercenary force. At the time of the storyline's start, House Steiner and House Davion have laid claim to a few territories, killing Mandarin Cho, Liao ruler of the planet, in combat.Īs the Federated Commonwealth formed by Houses Davion and Steiner slides towards civil war, the House forces on Carver V remain tense, but otherwise avoid any direct military action that would endanger the relatively peaceful situation.

Carver V, a planet previously held by House Liao, finds itself in the region known as the Chaos March as of 3063.
