MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is set in the year 3015, a time when humanity has spread across thousands of star systems in a region known as the Inner Sphere. The era of unity and progress is long gone, replaced by a fractured society where factions battle for dominance. As a mercenary, you find yourself in a prime position to profit from the chaos of the Succession Wars. If you're ready to unleash destruction and become a formidable force, this is your chance.
