==Description==
The '''Sorenson's Sabres''' scenario pack provides detailed historical information about Sorenson's Company of the [[5th Sword of Light]] between [[3021]] and [[3026]]. Detailed personnel histories (for ''[[MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game]]'') provide information about the unit's members. The book also provides detailed historical information for their parent regiment, the 5th Sword of Light, from its inception in [[2796]] through the combat operations of [[3026]]. It also provides a biography of [[Palmer Conti]], the Fifth's commanding officer in 3026.

==From the back cover==
{{quote|''Born in the wake of civil unrest, [[Sorenson's Sabres]] are the most feared and respected of [[DCMS|Kurita troop]]s, due to their unique composition, deadly efficiency, and ferocious tactics. From fighting [[Bandit King]]s to raids on [[Federated Suns|Davion]] space, the [[LAM]]s, [[aerospace fighter]]s, and [['Mech]]s of this company get the job done with new tactics and old-fashioned grit.''

''This scenario set details the history of Sorenson's Sabres, profiles the statistics and combat readiness of the members of the [[company]], and includes 20 scenarios pitting Sorenson's Sabres against a wide variety of colorful opponents.''}}

==Notes==
* The cover image, depicting [[Sharron Burgoz]] in rather revealing [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] attire, was "sanitized" prior to publication by adding the white parts to her panties and giving her a vest; these were not present in the original image (which was used for the book's German edition cover).

A German edition was released by [[Fantasy Productions]] in 1994. Unlike many other German editions from FanPro, this contains no noteworthy changes or additions to the original content. The German version is printed as DIN A4, a standard European paper size, which is a little larger then North American [[w:Paper size|Letter]].

====Spelling and Names====
As with other German products prior to 1997, spelling and names (especially places and units) as well as most abbreviations were regularly adjusted. For instance the 'Mech unit ''[[Archer]]'' was renamed to ''Schütze'', the planet [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Gotterdammerung]] was respelled to ''Götterdämmerung'', the ''[[DCMS]]'' (''Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery'') became ''VSDK'' (''Vereinigte Streitkräfte des Draconis Kombinats'') and so on.
