Let the game begin !
Strap into your BattleMech's cockpit and charge into the most important fight of your life! Soldiers from across the Inner Sphere are drawn to the Game World of Solaris VII, where they seek glory, fame, and fortune in live-fire arena combat, before rotating back to their empires' fields of battle. Yet only the best and most aggressive gladiators will succeed. Will you claw your way to the top of the leaderboards and be immortalized for all time, or will you go down in flames to the sound of thunderous applause.
