These giant, sentient mecha lie in hibernation, hoping their Eidolon Drives will once again be awakened by worthy pilots.The Terran Alliance has spent these 3 decades hunting these lost weapons down, knowing that if they were to ever rise again, even Earth itself would no longer be safe.</html>

What we haven't done is give a hard think to the basic verbs that player characters can use to act upon the world. That's what we've sat down to focus on this month!</html>
