00:00This is the Inner Sphere. Thousands of planets colonized by humankind.
00:05Once it was united under the Star League.
00:07But for the last 300 years, it has been consumed by savage wars.
00:12Until a new enemy appeared. Mysterious invaders known as...
00:17The Clans.
00:19Powerful and rudeness, they struck like lightning, attacking every sector at once.
00:23But they made one big mistake.
00:25They attacked my home planet!
00:28Now in the spirit of the Star League, ancient enemies have reunited.
00:32And we're gonna take back our galaxy.
00:58Commence lift off procedure, now!
01:04Commence lift off procedure, now!
01:10Commence lift off procedure, now!
01:12Commence lift off procedure, now!
01:16Commence lift off procedure, now!
01:18Commence lift off
01:23Great work, Strikers! We got the clan technology we came here for.
01:28Now maybe we can use it to slow down the invasion force threatening our galaxy.
01:34Rachel, I'm gonna need a complete breakdown on the battle suits.
01:36Unlocking their secrets is the key to defeating the clans.
01:37All right, I'll get started working on it right away, Adam.
01:38Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
01:40Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
01:42You dishonor your clan with failure.
01:44While you were wasting valuable time and resources,
01:47I'm gonna need a complete breakdown on the battle suits.
01:49All right, I'll get started working on it right away, Adam.
01:51Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
01:53You dishonor your clan with failure.
01:55While you were wasting valuable time and resources chasing that miserable Major Adam Steiner,
02:12other warriors were achieving glory for their bloodlines.
02:17Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
02:31The barbarians on these pathetic worlds are no match for our forces.
02:36Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus.
02:46We are genetically superior and possess far more advanced technology.
02:52There is no way they can stand against us.
02:55Soon the entire inner sphere will be ours.
03:06Dump ship crew is prepared for hyperspace jump.
03:11Thank you, Captain.
03:13This is Major Adam Steiner reporting to the Archon Melissa Steiner Davion.
03:20To our knowledge, we're the only ones who have confronted the clans
03:24without being taken prisoner or being destroyed.
03:27We have learned many things about our enemy, the Jade Falcon Clan.
03:36They engage in formal warfare, attacking in strangely ritualistic manner.
03:42Their leaders begin each battle with a completely unknown challenge called a B'chall.
03:51I am Nikolai Malthus of Clan Jade Falcon.
03:54What forces oppose us on this planet?
04:01So, you Inner Sphere Barbarians wish to forgo the formality of a B'chall?
04:07Very well.
04:08All units, initiate enhanced imaging.
04:24Galaxy Commander, these Inner Sphere Barbarians have no honor.
04:45They refuse the ritual of the B'chall.
04:54Attention, Somerset.
04:56I am Star Colonel Nikolai Malthus of the Jade Falcon Clan.
05:00A full trinary stands ready to conquer your planet.
05:03What forces dare oppose us?
05:06Is this some kind of joke?
05:08You dare to refuse my B'chall?
05:10Refuse your what?
05:12Prepare to feel the wrath of the Falcon's claws.
05:15Perhaps they do not understand the bidding process.
05:19These animals fight without form, relying on total anarchy.
05:25They are completely without honor.
05:30Freeborn cowards.
05:31How dare they turn their backs on honorable combat?
05:35Take heart, little freeborn warrior.
05:39Unlike your cowardly allies, you will perish stout of heart.
05:44They've been stooped to deception.
05:47These forces were never part of the bid.
05:49Using more mechs than they bid.
05:52A direct violation of martial protocol.
05:55I wish they rien didro, but I did no follower.
05:58Believe, I might be in agreement with the
06:11özren900k.
06:14That way they surfaces and enemies.
06:15Así is the mesma thing in mind.
06:16They're not one of the Romans.
06:17It equalizes any type of troupe잡i Quinn's voodoo.
06:18And the lower castes are every bit as dishonorable as their pathetic warriors.
06:31Galaxy Commander, members of the labor cast, actually take up arms against our true-born warriors.
06:38Inner Sphere warriors, by hiding on this farmhouse, will endanger its occupants and incite my crime.
06:48Stand and fight, or their fate will be on your hands.
06:53Threaten my family? I'll give you a fight!
06:57A labor casted drone taking arms against a true-born warrior?
07:02Obliterate this place.
07:05We were forced to destroy them, as examples to any who would defy us.
07:13It appears the clans have a rigid caste system.
07:16Understanding it might be the key to figuring out how they fight.
07:19The deciding factor in many recent battles has been the superior power of the armor worn by our elemental infantry.
07:38They can withstand explosions, missiles, any form of punishment that a full-sized battle mechanic can inflict upon them.
07:50Now, thanks to your base incompetence, the Inner Sphere Barbarians have stolen that technological edge from right under your very nose.
08:03But Galaxy Commander, they do not know how to use the targeting system.
08:12The enhanced imaging that makes victory possible.
08:15Therefore, the armor is useless to them.
08:18We learned the hard way that the clan mechs are superior to ours in every respect.
08:28They can withstand our firepower, they don't overheat, and they have three times our targeting range.
08:35But we found a way to level the playing field.
08:40We infiltrated a clan installation and downloaded some of the clan's technical files.
08:53Now, if I can just get the system to download the coordinates of their armory, they might just find out where those suits are stored.
09:01Bingo!
09:05Let's move, strikers!
09:06And we were able to liberate three of their armored battle suits.
09:10These babies ought to come with an instruction man.
09:12There's gotta be some way to adjust them.
09:14I don't see any controls...
09:16Huh?
09:27I gotta admit, those battle suits are pretty impressive.
09:30They pack almost as much firepower as a full-size battle mech.
09:46And they're every bit as effective against the clans as they are against us.
09:52Now, at present, my tactical operations officer is trying to decipher their secrets.
09:56Adam, I found something. It's a vid file I downloaded on Twicross.
10:06This is astonishing.
10:08It looks like a whole new kind of tactical imaging system.
10:15Adam, that's Somerset Academy.
10:21Yeah, and those are training men. Those cadets don't stand a chance.
10:26This is the ultimate AI team.
10:27This is the ultimate AI team.
10:30And those are the reasons to play the強 of the enemy.
10:32This is aensor, when I go on to the position.
10:34One of the icons to watch this is the top-high core.
10:36It's the most important thing.
10:38They can't be able to capture that enemy of the enemy.
10:40You can see, they're going to see the enemy of each other.
10:42If it's the enemy of the enemy, I'm going to die on.
10:46Oh my god!
10:47What?
10:49I'm so mad at me!
10:51Hello?
10:52That's what you've done to do!
10:53Adam, that wolfhound, it's your brother's.
11:08Yeah, and that clan mech is Malthus.
11:11Andrew!
11:12How could anyone have survived that?
11:18I don't see how Andrew could have survived.
11:25Adam, remember that Fedcom Intelligence agent we met on that spot?
11:30Juan Martinez, Fedcom Intelligence.
11:32I was about to nail Tybus when your buddy here shot me down.
11:35See, I found out Tybus was gonna keep Fedcom off his back by striking a little deal with the Jade Falcon Clan.
11:41Jade Falcon Clan?
11:42Yeah, that's the name of the Invasion Force, Major Steiner.
11:45You know his name?
11:46I know a lot of things, Dr. Nakamura.
11:48What do you know about Somerset?
11:50Not much, although my con-star contact tells me your brother's alive.
11:54Andrew?
11:55Alive?
11:56But who knows what kind of condition he's in.
11:59Continuing my report, Your Highness, please convey my condolences to the family of Lieutenant Cyril Ramirez.
12:06He was a valiant warrior, and his loss was a severe blow to us.
12:10Warning, the fusion reactor breached. Critical failure in 14 seconds.
12:23You will note, Galaxy Commander, that my efforts have gained us a valuable new bondsman, named Zero.
12:29Zero is a spirited warrior.
12:39Once we bring him into the way of the clan, he will be a valuable asset.
12:46Why, his family was honored with the Order of the Star by General Alexander Kerensky himself.
13:01Tell me once more about honor, Zero.
13:08I mean, what passes for honor in the Inner Sphere.
13:12They're gonna come back, you know.
13:14The descendants of Kerensky.
13:16When his army returns, you're gonna pay for invading us.
13:20Are you so totally incapable of perceiving the obvious?
13:25We are the descendants of Kerensky.
13:27How ironic.
13:28These savages honor the name of Kerensky, but do not understand his principles.
13:33This Zero will shed some light on the deceitful tactics of his former commander, Adam Steiner.
13:42Major Adam Steiner of the first Somerset Strikers?
13:46My mind.
13:47I believe he recently requested that I take up my quarrel with him personally.
13:52Open up these bracelets, pal, and we'll get real personal.
13:56I am pleased to report the first Somerset Strikers are shaping up into a crack unit.
14:03And what does this one have to say?
14:06Three, two, one.
14:09Now!
14:10Funny what a little corrupted code will do to a complex run by a computer.
14:17Lieutenant Rachel Spector has proven herself to be indispensable.
14:20Not only as my tactical operations officer, but also on the field.
14:24She is the most valuable member of my team.
14:27Now, Captain Valton Ryder is our newest member with a very colorful past.
14:33We did some research on you, pal.
14:35Strong service record, but you got drummed down for insubordination.
14:39He helped us bust a major crime lord named Tybus, who was actually in league with the Jade Falcon Clan.
14:48Not so fast, boss man.
14:50You and me got a score to settle.
14:52Captain Ryder has a very interesting operating style.
14:57What's he doing?
14:58Say, buddy, which way is sector D?
15:00But I hate to think where we'd be without him.
15:09Metapatches. Don't leave home without...
15:11And our aerospace pilot, Cadet Kate Kiley.
15:15Well, she's been the key to victory on more than one occasion.
15:18She's as skilled as she is courageous.
15:20And she's got a lot of initiative.
15:25May Eagle Ring know you've gone AWOL?
15:27Not AWOL if you drafted me into your unit.
15:30You forged my name?
15:32Begging the Major's pardon, sir.
15:34But it's not forgery if you don't report it.
15:36Welcome to the first Somerset Strikers.
15:42Captain Miles Hawkins, formerly of the Intelligence Secretariat and a veteran of the War of 39.
15:48Well, he was a real bonus for the Strikers.
15:52He's been invaluable helping defeat our new enemies in the Jade Falcon Clan.
15:57I just wish he could overcome his distrust for our former enemies, the Caridus of the Draconis Combine.
16:13The Caridus were, to say the least, reluctant to be part of the mission.
16:17We would rather eat vegan slugrats than serve with filthy Vetcom sleeves.
16:22I am retaking possession of this craft.
16:27The hardest to convince has been their leader, Franklin Sakamoto.
16:34I am a businessman, not a warrior.
16:37When this mission ends and the invaders are gone, what happens to us?
16:42You'll be free to return to the Draconis Combine, along with your ship.
16:46In that case, Major, my answer is yes.
16:57They're shooting at a jump ship? That's a violation of the Ares Convention.
17:04Who are these maniacs?
17:06Mercenaries, Adam-san, in the employ of my company.
17:09What do you know about this?
17:11Only that this ship is going back where it belongs, the Draconis Combine.
17:15They're taking it back in pieces?
17:20This is Franklin Sakamoto! I told you this ship was not to be damaged!
17:25We have our orders, Franklin-san.
17:28Your traitorous crew is to be eliminated.
17:30Now all that changed when the clans attacked the Draconis Combine and he realized we had a common enemy.
17:36Gedi demands that I honor the wishes of my coordinator.
17:39I will serve under you, for now.
17:42On Twicross, he saved our lives and we learned he is a skilled aerospace pilot.
17:47Sakamoto, what are you doing in a banshee?
17:53By all appearances, Hog-san, I'm saving your life.
17:57If the Intelligence Secretariat has any further information on him, I'd be grateful for it.
18:02The fact remains, Nikolai, that you have jeopardized this campaign by losing those battlesuits.
18:08I assure you, we have nothing to fear.
18:10They will never make use of that technology because they are too busy fighting among themselves.
18:14I have learned from Bondsman Syrah that their ranks are splintered with dissent.
18:19The Mongrel Freeborns do not trust each of them.
18:22In the heat of battle, their deceptions and their chaotic ways may have won them a few small victories.
18:28But now their supplies are depleted.
18:31They will cease to be a factor once their limited weaponry is destroyed.
18:37I hope so, Nikolai, for your sake.
18:44I regret to report, your highness, that our armaments have been badly depleted in battle.
19:03Captain Ryder's Centurion was destroyed on Romulus.
19:06And we lost Lieutenant Ramirez and his Wolfhound.
19:15My Axeman has also suffered significant damage.
19:20While Captain Hawkins Mauler was damaged in an avalanche.
19:26Our aerospace support has not fared much better.
19:35One Banshee is under repairs.
19:37And our only official pilot is temporarily out of commission.
19:42If we are to continue this mission, we will require additional supplies.
19:47His forces are lowly, vulnerable.
19:52Major Adam Steiner and his pathetic band of warriors will be mine.
19:58Adam, without supplies, how will we fight?
20:00Any way we can.
20:01These animals attacked our home planet, ruthlessly and without provocation.
20:31No part of the Inner Sphere is safe from the menace of the clans.
20:34No part of the Inner Sphere is safe from the menace of the clans.
20:35The End
21:04Now, I don't know what we'll find waiting for us when we reach Somerset, but I do know this.
21:11Somehow we're going to beat Malthus and all the clans, no matter what it takes, no matter how long we have to fight.
21:34There's something my brother Andrew always used to say, no guts, no galaxy.
