Cavaliers - Origins

THIS MOD IS NOT DESIGNED TO RUN ALONGSIDE CAVALIERS EXPANSION PROJECT

They will work together; they will not step on each other, but you will have conflicting "storylines."

Adds lore based backstory to the Cavaliers with content imagined(pilots) and stuff from the books (mechs.)

A new Campaign is required to obtain all the rewards. The Events will not work in career mode, but the mechs will show up on markets and in enemy hands, like other hero mechs. You can also buy them like normal with Mech Delivery, if you run that.

This mod does not assign any Model level quirks. Yet Another MechLab will do that, and so will Yet Another Revamped Quirks & Equipment.
