Operation Solstice Rain - Part 1: The Drop

Your mechs are prepped and loaded aboard the dropship, ready for deployment. Through your chassis’ camera feeds, strapped securely into the cockpit, you watch as the hatches slide closed around you and the hangar airlocks open for launch. From up here, Cressidium looks peaceful – a shimmering jewel hanging in space.

“Ten seconds to drop.”

You take a breath as the pilot counts down. Inhale. Exhale. Then your stomach lurches as the clamps disengage and the dropship’s thrusters kick into full burn.

As this game is intended to introduce the Lancer system, and because of the limited time available, we'll be focusing primarily on the game's tactical mech combat and core mechanics. Lancer does include support for social encounters, but those rules are intentionally fairly light and will not be used today.
