There you'll find areas where fighting is a matter of skill as well as an endurance. This is a place where gangs raid design firms for prototype 'Mechs and where hungry down-and-outers will do anything for their shot at the big-time arenas.Solaris: The Reaches, an expansion set for Solaris VII, includes maps of new arenas where a MechWarrior can find glory or death; stats of prototype arena 'Mechs; and information on The Reaches, where life is cheap. Also included are location archetypes and rules for integrating BattleTech damage with your MechWarrior, Second Edition characters.
