BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception casts you as Jason Youngblood, a cadet MechWarrior training at the Citadel of Pacifica in the Lyran Commonwealth. He follows in the footsteps of his famous father Jeremiah, but everything changes when the Draconis Combine launches a surprise attack. Jason barely escapes and joins forces with a member of the Crescent Hawks – a unit founded by his father. Together they search for allies to face the new threat. For Jason, it's harder than for anyone else, as he believes his father was among the attackers. The game starts with training at the Citadel, earning money and learning to fight with mechs and small arms. Afterwards, you explore Pacifica, recruit companions, and fight in turn-based battles.
