Emerald-Hammer

The year is 3049, and on the far coreward planet known only as TJ9635, two great powers have joined battle in their attempt to exploit vast raw materials.

At the polar north of the planet, Draconis Combine miners have established a mining operation for valuable Germanium. Towards the equator, Federated Commonwealth riggers have started exploiting liquid assets in huge fields under the dry deserts. Both eye the other with suspicion and already minor skirmishes have been fought, as prospectors from both sides push outward from the initial landing sites.

But, this is a backwater world, and reinforcments are unlikely to come anytime soon. Neither side can squander valuable mechs in once and for all battles, but the recon mechs of both the Draconis’ 12 Alshain Regiment; “Honour through Duty” and the scouts from the Federated Commonwealth’s 25th Avalon Hussars still snipe at each other from carefully prepared positions.

However things are about to change, a dropship has recently reinforced the Commonwealth forces, doubling the available number of mechs, leading the commander to believe that he can force the Draconis Combine operation of the planetoid once and for all. Unfortunately The Draconis Combine forces have recently been refitted with their newest secret weapons, C3 Computers, enabling an unprecedented  level of cooperation between mechs.
