Story
The story begins with a short briefing on the Inner Sphere's Operation Bulldog: Bulldog, a daring plan to eliminate the most hostile and vicious clan in the Inner Sphere: Clan Smoke Jaguar, led by Anastasius Focht and Victor Steiner-Davion. Operation Bulldog and Task Force Serpent have already accomplished their objectives, but there is one final operation the player is tasked with: disrupting a high-ranking Smoke Jaguar officer's attempt to gather and restore the clan's forces. This mission (code name: Damocles) involves destroying key Smoke Jaguar facilities on the planet Tranquil, including a mech factory, a starport, a geothermal power plant and the Smoke Jaguar control structure. The mission is a commando action with limited forces and does not include the destruction of the enemy as an objective. Two drop ships are dispatched to drop the BattleMech force to destroy these facilities. However, while in orbit over Tranquil, one dropship is attacked by naval laser fire. The Blackhammer is shot down and the remaining dropship, the Eclipse, retreats to safety. The player has already been deployed from the dropship, which was slightly off target before being destroyed. The Mobile Field Bases (MFB), which were deployed at the same time as the player, land at the target. The player's first task is to rendezvous with the MFBs and secure the area from enemy forces. At least seven mechs are deployed. Two of them are destroyed by the enemy at the beginning of the game and one towards the end. The novel mentions another victim who died due to a parachute malfunction. The remaining four survivors gradually join up over the course of the game. Twelve more mechs remain aboard the Eclipse, but they cannot be deployed directly, and an attempt to fight through from a safe landing site fails after heavy casualties. Despite this setback, the player must continue to pursue their objectives and eventually secure a landing zone so that the landing ship can return to evacuate them.
