Unbound is a adventure for the MechWarrior, Second Edition RPG and BattleTech, with the option of using the expanded rules of Solaris VII: The Game World set, set in the arenas of the Inner Sphere's dueling capital, Solaris VII. The player characters are hired by the Solaris government to investigate the unique and unusual technology used by the BattleMechs of the Seven Deadly Sins Stables, quickly becoming involved in the stable members' escalating feud of their insane mentor, NAIS Professor Burke Kale, and the various efforts of agents from a NAIS Crisis Intervention Team, SAFE and ROM to capture or control the advanced and lethal technologies stolen from the NAIS labs.

From the back cover
"The Clan invasion left the Successor States struggling to recover from the war that devastated the forces of the Inner Sphere. The Federated Commonwealth took heavy losses, and its misfortune was compounded by the untimely death of Hanse Davion. The alliance is in a precarious position. The New Avalon Institute of Science has been charged to find a technological edge with which House Davion may regain its lost power. Study of Clan technology sent research in bold new directions, and led to an extraordinary breakthrough in BattleTechnology.

Unfortunately, the Federated Commonwealth's salvation is in the hands of a madman.
