LIFE, DEATH, HONOR, FEALTY...Bushido is the warrior code that governs all these concepts. As a MechWarrior of the Draconis Combine, Minobu Tetsuhara is bound by it, a code that demands loyal service to the devious Warlord Grieg Samsonov.When Minobu came upon a strange blue and gold Archer, the field littered with its vanquished opponents, and its weapons empty, bushido dictated that he not destroy an honorable but helpless warrior.For that he became one of the Dispossessed, stripped of his BattleMech—and his honor.Minobu was then assigned as liaison to one of the Combine's most elite mercenary units, who treated him with the respect due a fellow warrior, and gave him a BattleMech to take the field of battle once more. The skill and power of the mercenaries is unparalleled, and when they refuse to renew their contract due to sabotage from within the Combine, Minobu is instructed to use all means to destroy them.Now, bushido dictates that Minobu oppose his honorable foe in the blue and gold Archer, a man with whom he has served in battle, and who deserves far better than betrayal...Jaime Wolf and Wolf's Dragoons.
