Based on the Dream Pod 9 paper and pencil role-playing game of the same name, Heavy Gear is set in a universe not too dissimilar to that of the Mechwarrior series. 4000 years in the future, the people of Terra Nova struggle to survive. The planet, originally settled by refugees from Earth, is separated between the lands of the Confederated Northern City States (CNCS) and the Allied Southern Territories (AST). Each hemisphere has its own way of life, and political and religious ideology. Unfortunately, the beliefs of the CNCS and AST are completely contradictory, and relations have been strained from the start. For four years, an uneasy peace existed between the two factions when they combined their forces to fend off an invasion from the Earth Expeditionary Forces, who wished to reclaim Terra Nova as a colony. With this common foe defeated, hostilities between North and South have arisen once more, thrusting the entire planet into a state of civil war.

For centuries, mankind has searched the heavens for signs of life other than our own. Across the farthest reaches of space and time we appeared to be very much alone. This seemed even more apparent as the clutter and decay of the Earth's natural resources finally forced humans to colonise other planets. However, this assumption may soon be altered drastically. Recently, several colony outposts have been ravaged and destroyed by an unknown force.

The elite Colonial Jump Force has been sent to investigate the disturbance. Nicknamed the "Dreadnauts," they are highly skilled fighters equipped with rocket-packs that allow them to negotiate even the most rugged terrain. Their protective battlesuits are loaded with an arsenal of weapons, making each soldier a virtual walking tank.
