The series takes place in the year 3050 as the Inner Sphere is being suddenly invaded by an unknown and powerful force identifying itself as the Clans. One of the many planets that falls to the Clan onslaught is a small, mostly unimportant world known as Somerset.

Far away on the planet Tharkad, Major Adam Steiner, a teacher at the Nagerling military academy and native of Somerset, receives word of the attack on his homeworld and loss of all communication with the forces there, including his brother Andrew. Using his relationship to one of the FedCom's ruling family for the first time in his life, he manages to get permission to assemble a force to "gather intelligence on the Clans" (even if that includes taking a certain planet back from the invaders).

Unfortunately, the only available JumpShip that could take them off-planet is the Katana, a Draconis Combine ship that was recently seized for smuggling. The Draconis Combine and the Federated Commonwealth have been enemies for generations, however, and a lot of bad blood exists between their people. Before Adam Steiner can even think of taking on the Clans, he has to keep his FedCom troops and Draconis crew from each others' throats.
