15,000 years into the future, humanity has survived near collapse and since expanded ever wider into the frontiers of space, organised by UNION, the central hegemon of the populated galaxy. At Union''s heart, the dream of human utopia has been realised; but Lancer is set at the trembling edges of the expansion where resistance to the ideals of the utopia grow. As a lancer, you pilot a mech as unique as yourself. You are, by training, luck, circumstance, or work, one of the best. In this era near the golden age, you have one question to answer above all: who do you fight for? Lancer features a deep, story-rich setting for players to engage with. Every choice they make, every ordnance they mount, every weapon they wield - all of it has lore attached, just waiting for a story to develop.
