Mission 3 Briefing - The Invasion of Richmond

Five are our foundation;
One above the rest.
Four are the steppingstones,
The fifth the pinnacle.
The laborer, the technician, the scientist, the merchant,
These are the stepping stones
To the warrior's place.
As the insect feeds the bird,
As the bird feeds the wolf,
As the wolf feeds the smoke jaguar,
So all give life to the warrior
Who Sheds his blood for their glory.

--The Remembrance, Passage 121, Verse 43, Lines 12-24



My Fellow MechWarriors,

I have great news. We have won our bid for the planet Richmond against the Ghost Bear Clan. The Bears feel we bid too low, but I know your unit is up to the task. We have bid only your binary to take the entire planet. Do not disappoint me.

The inhabitants have answered our Batchall. The 'Mech forces that defend this world are attached to this document, along with recon photos. Since this world has a large infantry training facility you should expect various vehicles and infantry. I have sent out a probe to scout the area you will be assaulting and have chosen your variants to best serve our goal. It would shame your unit and our clan greatly if you did not succeed in taking this world. Fight and bid well.
