The year is 3062. BattleMechs are 30-foot war machines, capable of litteraly leveling a city block in seconds.
Several star empires are vying for power, after thier heroes returned from vanquishing one of their greatest enemies.
They are the Clans.
These gigantic war machines are piloted by the most well trained elite soldiers. They risk life and limb by climning into the saddle of a miniature nuclear reactor bristling with weapons and armor.

They are called MechWarriors.
