BattleTech Legends: Black Dragon
BATTLE FOR THE SOUL OF AN EMPIRE...
Theodore Kurita¸ samurai tyrant of the mighty Draconis Combine¸ is celebrating his sixty-first birthday. Topping the guest list is an unlikely bunch of high-tech troublemakers: Camacho's Caballeros¸ the toughest team of mercenary MechWarriors the Inner Sphere has ever seen.
