To most citizens of the Inner Sphere, the Northwind Highlanders are the current incarnation of the Scottish regiments of old. This view of them is flawed, but so many centuries have passed since mankind first set foot on an alien world that the truth often is obscured by the fog of time.
For the first time in history-from the Planet's settlement in the twenty-third century to the present day-Northwind is an independent world. Additionally, the Highlander regiments have never been more respected or had more opportunities for employment. With MacLeod's Regiment and the Royal Black Watch Company joining Operation Serpent-the Inner Sphere's secret assault on the Smoke Jaguars' homeworld of Huntress and the Northwind Hussars and Stirling's Fusiliers involved in the Star League assault on the Smoke Jaguar occupation zone, the future for all five Northwind Highlanders regiments looks bright. Only time will tell if their legendary Scottish tenacity will give them the strength they need to survive the coming battles.
