Ghost Bear’s Legacy
Introduction
The Star League, established in 2571, united the five powers of the Inner Sphere into a treaty of peace
and economic cooperation in an attempt to end decades of strife. By the twenty-eighth century, greed
and years of peace had overshadowed the hatred of war that had resulted in the League. In 2784, Aleksandr Kerensky, deposed leader of the Star League, assembled his loyal officers and departed from the
Inner Sphere on an exodus to begin a new civilization. The destiny of this civilization, its Hidden Hope,
was to one day return to the Inner Sphere and reform the Star League.
In 2786, Kerensky founded the five planets of the Pentagon, which would be the refugees’ new home.
Fifteen years later, tensions among the different peoples again turned into war. After Aleksandr Kerensky’s death, his son Nicholas gathered together 800 loyal subjects, who left on another exodus to the
cluster world of Strana Mechty, “Land of Dreams.” Without the influence of a Kerensky, a two-decade
war broke out among the planets of the Pentagon.
On Strana Mechty Nicholas Kerensky restructured his society. He divided his 800 followers into 20
Clans, based on a caste system that placed the warrior at the head of the hierarchy. This is a Clansman’s family, he has no other. All allegiance is paid to one’s Clan.
The Clans returned to and conquered the planets of the Pentagon, and Kerensky continued to remove all
vestiges of Inner Sphere life. He established a eugenics program through which all those of the warrior
caste, the leaders of Clan society, are created through genetic manipulation of the original members of
themselves in battle. Freeborns, those not genetically created, are reviled.
Now, in 3058, the Clans are in the midst of an invasion to retake the Inner Sphere and take back their
rightful place as heads of the Star League. Each of the Clans strives to be the first to take Terra, the
cradle of the species. Although the Clans are presently bound by a truce, they await the time when they
will be able to resume their attack on those planets closest to Terra. Clan Ghost Bear, the mightiest of
Kerensky’s warriors, must head the Clans’ return home.

New Weapon Systems
In addition to all the weapons available in MechWarrior 2, Ghost Bear’s Legacy provides these new
weapon systems for your use.
Anti-Missile System
The anti-missile system is a rapid-fire, point-defense machine gun capable of tracking, engaging, and
destroying incoming missiles. While very effective, the system’s primary drawback is its high ammunition consumption. When a salvo of missiles attacks any BattleMech equipped with an anti-missile
NEW WEAPON SYSTEMS
4
system, the system automatically engages the salvo before they can hit the protected ’Mech. An antimissile system may be turned on or off by pressing Ctl-A.
Arrow IV Missile Artillery
The Arrow IV is a stand-alone missile system designed to deliver long-range salvos. The Arrow system
uses the area-saturation missile, which attacks an area rather than a specific target, inflicting massive
explosive damage to any object within a 45-meter blast radius.
Flamer
The flamer is a short-range energy weapon that taps into the superheated plasma of the BattleMech’s
fusion reactor. The flamer causes a great deal of heat to buildup on the target but it also causes a large
heat build-up in the ’Mech that is using it. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using this
weapon system.
Inferno Missiles
Inferno missiles are special-purpose missiles designed to affect the heat level of enemy BattleMechs.
Inferno missiles come in guided and dumb-fire modes and operate the same as SSRM-2 and SRM-2
systems.
Narc Missile Beacon
The Narc missile beacon is a heavily modified missile Iauncher that fires special missiles, called pods,
made up of powerful homing beacons mounted behind a magnetic head. If the missile hits its target, the
pod broadcasts a homing signal for any friendly missile systems equipped to receive Narc transmissions. Once established, the signal lock cannot be broken and the Narc cannot be destroyed.
NEW WEAPON SYSTEMS
Torpedoes
Torpedoes are maritime versions of regular short- and long-range missiles. Units equipped with torpedo
racks may not use normal missile ammo, and missile racks may not use torpedo ammunition.

Capabilities
The Linebacker's increased speed means it
carries less armament, but those weapons
it does carry, along with its speed, make it a
formidable foe on the battlefield. In its
standard configuration, the Linebacker
punishes threats from a distance. Enemies
that do not succumb to its energy weapons
or run away from its missile barrage are
taken care of by its heavier compatriots.

Capabilities
The Grizzly is used by PGC commanders
for roles that other Clans would fill with
Summoners and Hellbringers. The ’Mech's
heavier armor and standard engine give it a
much higher survival rate, which is fortunate because it is difficult to repair. The
Grizzly has layers of sloped armor that tend
to lodge in place when damaged, and its
bulky leg actuators are apparently unique
and hard to obtain.
The Grizzly mounts a deadly array of
weapons, featuring a massive Gauss rifle
in the right arm. The ’Mech's left arm sports
a trio of pulse lasers similar to, but smaller
than, the array featured in Configuration D
of the Executioner. The ’Mech's long-range
firepower is supplemented by a ten-pack of
long-range missiles in the right torso.

Capabilities
The Naga was developed to deliver a
sustained barrage of artillery missiles. The
OmniMech's standard configuration best
fulfills this mission by carrying six tons of
missiles, assuring that it will be able to
support its Cluster mates through all but
the longest battle. However, the standard
configuration Naga is the most defenseless
in a short-range battle, with only three
small lasers to ward off any enemy that
manages to come close.

Capabilities
Most Clan MechWarriors who pilot Executioners
choose the exceptional firepower of the Gauss. It
combines with the pair of large lasers to deliver harsh
punishment to opposing ’Mechs.
For extended missions where ammunition might
become a factor, the Clans normally outfit the
Executioner with three large pulse iasers in the left
arm and four extended-range medium lasers in the
right. The Executioner's 14 double heat sinks allow it
to use this array of lasers and still keep its heat under
control.
Somewhat similar in performance to the standard
version is model B, which carries the huge Ultra-20
Autocannon in the left arm and an extended-range
particle projection cannon in the right. Asmall laser
and anti-missile system round out its weaponry.
The fire-support version of the Executioner is
relatively uncommon. lts most distinguishing feature
is the enhanced targeting for all its weapons systems.
A highly unusual design for the Executioner has
also been spotted on Pinnacle. It features a stack of
two SRM-6 launchers affixed to its left arm. The right
arm is a large triangular pod with a large pulse laser
at the top, a row of three medium pulse lasers below
it, and a row of five small pulse lasers at the bottom.
This configuration has no hand, of course, and also
requires the removal of the lower arm actuator.

Capabilities
Though never observed in action, certain
assumptions about the Kodiak's performance
can be made based solely on its weapon load.
A devastating Ultra-20 autocannon occupies
the entire right side of its torso. Opposite the
autocannon is a pair of Streak SRM-6 launchers. Combined, these weapons provide ample
close-in firepower but lack the ammunition to
fight an extended battle. Designers probably
disregarded this factor since the ’Mech is
intended for garrison use close to supply lines.
Above each hand is a claw-like array of four
extended-range medium lasers, giving the
Kodiak impressive hitting power even if it runs
completely out of ammunition. Supplementing
these weapons is a single ER large laser
mounted in the torso directly beneath the
engine. Likely added as an afterthought, this
weapon gives the ’Mech a single shot at long
range, but generates too much heat to be
used once the enemy closes in.

Capabilities
The Stone Rhino weighs in at a massive
100 tons, comparable to the largest ’Mechs
ever manufactured. While such machines
bring awesome firepower to the battlefield,
ultimately, commanders cannot use them
effectively because they cannot afford to
lose one.
The Stone Rhino features twin Gauss
cannons, a large pulse laser mounted in
each arm and an almost superfluous small
pulse laser. The arm-mounted weapons
feature retractable shock-absorbing cowls
covering the barrels which allow the pilot to
use the arms as battering rams without
damaging the delicate laser assemblies.
