Welcome to Heavy Gear Blitz 3.1
Mother Earth has returned to lay claim to the colony worlds. With over half of the colonies subjugated by these modern conquerors, the various systems are in a desperate struggle to maintain their way of life. Earth’s interstellar invasion force now bears down on Terra Nova, an arid planet that has so far managed to resist due to their warrior cultures and sheer stubbornness.
With each victory, Earth accrues more power and influence. Caprice, Utopia and Eden all offer their warriors to this growing juggernaut. But are they all so willing? While Caprice is reluctant to openly resist, they fight a shadow war that threatens to be their end. Utopia has aligned itself with Earth’s ultimate goals, but the Black Talons have not yet given up on sparking a planet-wide insurgency. Eden is a tangle of nobles lost in devising their own fortunes, glory, or just plain revenge.
The stage is set as Earth and her subjugated allies descend on Terra Nova once more. The stakes of the War for Terra Nova have never been higher. The outcome has never been so uncertain.
