BattleTech: Star-Crossed Warriors

WAKE NOT THE SLEEPING BEAR… During the chaotic late years of the Dark Age, two Ghost Bear cadets find each other as conflicting loyalties threaten to drive them apart. Freeborn Strider has fought to become a MechWarrior for most of his life, and now stands on the precipice of making his dream come true. Trueborn Vespertine is a true product of Clan Ghost Bear, and also hopes to graduate into the exalted ranks of the MechWarriors. But simmering tensions between the Ghost Bears and the civilians of the Rasalhague Dominion—the only successful merging of a Clan with an Inner Sphere faction—are rising in intensity, threatening to tear the nearly century-old alliance asunder. Along with that comes the invitation from the new ilKhan to join the reborn Star League, causing further division among the populace. And with Strider and Vespertine also embracing different views of the conflict, will they fight each other if the disagreements erupt into all-out war?
