In addition, how each mission is performed has an impact on the timeline. The player has some control over which missions to accept and in what order. With these resources, the player can purchase new weapons and BattleMechs, pay for 'Mech repairs, and hire additional MechWarriors for his or her company. The player makes a living earning cash and useful salvage from completing mission contracts for various factions. In the game, the player takes the role of Spectre, a male mercenary BattleMech pilot travelling inside the fictional interstellar region of the Battletech universe called the Inner Sphere during the FedCom Civil War (specifically during the time period from Januto late July 3067).
