Description

Tags: Aimed at adult attendees, Theme program, English or finnish

Styles: Serious game style, Rules heavy, Story driven, Character driven, Combat driven

It looks a drab brownish red, spinning in the vast void, orbiting a glaring sun: DS 11, Gloria, Mesa, Legionrest, Ol' Dusty, That Miserable Excuse for a Planet, a world of many names. It is a bleak and war-torn planet of barely recovered ecosystems and rugged frontierspeople. Nestled in the contested colonial reaches beyond the blink gate network, it lies far enough away from the Core worlds that the hegemon Union is but hearsay. Instead of the bounty and freedoms guaranteed by the Utopian Pillars of universal human rights, it has the harsh rule and scant justice of severe foreign conquerors and grasping captains of industry.

And here you've come for that one last job before you retire. To one last time don your hardsuit, strap into your mech and ride into fire, armed with laser and kinetic and your burning will. Here awaits that one last sweet score that will yield you all the Manna you could spend in the days you have left, maybe even enough to drown your regrets and quieten the ghosts of your past. For what this place lacks in utopian abundance, it makes up for in opportunity and grit, old sins and new promises, and the heady stuff of not-yet-formed legend! It is a place for mechs and their pilots, for people like you: crooks and heroes, idealists and traitors. It is a place for Lancers.

Koloniaplaneetat, kaukana tähtienvälisen Unionin utopia-aatteesta, kutsuvat idealisteja, häikäilemättömiä ja kunnianhimoisia. Pölyinen ja sodan runtelema Gloria valloittajineen, uudisraivaajineen ja vaivoin toipunein luontoineen on koloniaksikin rajamaa, täynnä sisua, mahdollisuutta, vanhoja syntejä ja uusia lupauksia.

Ja sinne sinä olet tullut, saadaksesi sen mikä sinulta on evätty. Siellä sinua odottaa yksi viimeinen keikka, sellainen josta sataa Mannaa loppuelämäksesi, ehkä jopa tarpeeksi hautaakseen menneisyytesi haamut. Sillä kun mechisi ohjaimissa astut tuleen, laserit ja kineettiset toimintavalmiudessa, palava tahtosi leiskuen, ei kukaan voi sinua vastustaa! Legendasi kutsuu, Lansieeri.
