After a show of renewed defiance from the Inner Sphere forces in the wake of their loss to the Clan invaders at the Battle of Tukayyid, the Clans are once again striking deep into the heart of the Inner Sphere. While Clan Wolf fights to retain its new-found control over Rigil Kentarus at the doorstep of Terra itself, the forces of Clan Jade Falcon are not far behind.
The time has come for the Inner Sphere to rally together; all hope for victory lies in unity. Can the Inner Sphere take back its lost territory, or will the seemingly relentless push of the Clan invasion continue on, ever-stronger?
Whatever the result, there are boons to be had in the struggle. When this Event comes to a close, the top-ranked Inner Sphere and Clan Units will have the honor of receiving Hanging Cockpit Tags stamped with their unique Unit tag.
The fighting will be fierce and there will be many casualties, so if you're already in a Unit round up some lone wolves or fortune-seeking Mercs to reinforce your ranks.
If you normally fight alone, now is the time to forge alliances. Head over to the Inner Sphere or Clan sub-forum for the Faction of your choice to join one of the many Units.
Load-up your old war dogs and fire up your Fusion reactors; it's going to be a blood bath.
