Sundance, a young MechWarrior recruit, must fight in a war he has no part in. When push comes to shove, will he follow orders and pray for survival? Or will he do what he knows is right at the almost certain risk of death?
Well it was nice to see the characters point of view on their situation between just accepting, don't care, questioning their roles, to even contemplating escape if they had a change. So I take it that the main cast of the story are assemble with Vermilion and Bittersweat probably going to be a reluctant ally to them if the chance to escape actually comes, he is still a bully. I take it that the whole planet is under the Clan's control and just escaping the base won't end well for them obviously, so they would at least need a ship and a crew to pilot it, or some other ancient forgotten Equesestient devices, escape or turn traitor, or are just going to be conveniently isolated from the main force and sign up for mercenary jobs from that point on. With a number of the characters having Mech themed cutie marks I take it they would be very sot after by other factions if they secure their loyalties and is probably the only trade they would really have any skills related to that.
Now we are starting to have a little bit of world building to this word and some of the conflicts, I wonder what are the other factions around?
I wonder what is the differences between freeborn and true clan members of the clans? I take it they are generally stronger and more proficient at killing but I am not sure they have much in the way of imagination or personal initiative, do they have such a thing as civilians, how do they built, maintain or restore the clan's equipment, with out those infrastructures?
I would have though that paranoia and mistrust between the freeborns cadets with any and all denunciation of disloyalty would be rewarded or have young spies within every cadet groups, with very sever punishments if not out right executions or convenient 'accidents' happen to those cadets.
I take it the clans do a lot of foal 'recruitment' because of the constant severs attrition rates they might have, if they are even willing to to train freeborn cadets to become mech pilots in their persecution of war.
9486755 The other Clans involved in the war are going to be introduced later in the story. I don't want to spoil too much, but it's probably not what you're expecting.
Trueborns are basically just stronger, smarter, and faster than freeborns, which is why they're generally considered superior. As for the infrastructure, the Clans have a caste system that builds their society, and the different castes are in charge of different things. While the Clans are very military-forward, the majority of their populations is still made up of average citizens working regular jobs, though with Clan Draconequus being the most aggressive Clan, they have the largest Warrior caste.
As for the freeborn soldiers' roles, there's a bit more to it. It was hinted at in one of the earlier chapters, but it's going to be explained more in depth later. Everything is connected, so what doesn't seem like a hint or foreshadowing, probably is.

Still a fun read keep it up
