In the future, many military forces are dependent on huge mech robots, called Wanzers (Walking Panzers) for combat.

One night, the OCU forces stage a covert recon mission on a facility located in Larcus, a USN-held territory and weapons facility.
Lead by a soldier named Roid, this mission was entirely unofficial and violated the peace treaty.
During the mission, USN forces lead by Commander Driscoll appeared and ambushed the OCU soldiers.
During the combat, Roid's fiance, Karen is killed and the USN facility is blown up; placing the blame on the OCU.
This became known as the "Larcus Incident" and the OCU denied all knowledge of it's soldiers actions.
Ultimately it would be a leading cause to the second Huffman War.
One year later, the war is underway and Huffman island is under provisional control of the OCU, but with a weakened military unable to defend against USN attacks.
The soldiers involved in the Larcus Incident have all been discharged and disgraced.
Roid spends his time fighting as a gladiator in the Wanzer fighting arena before being approached by a mysterious man.
Colonel Olson has found out about Roid's history and wants him to command a mercenary unit he is assembling on behalf of the OCU, dubbed "Carrion Crow".
Convincing Roid that Driscoll is still out there on the island, Roid agrees.

About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Front Mission for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales.
