One year after the destruction of the I.M.C.'s Fold Weapon, the remains of the I.M.C. naval fleet retreated to the Outlands to find and extract resources while fending off the Frontier Militia.

Taylor and Riley climbed while big rocks continued to fall. After they made it out, there wasn't any sign of the group.
1LT. Max Taylor: Conrad? Do you copy?
Then the two encounter the Northstar that attacked them. The titan landed on the other side of the sinkhole and Draco appeared out of the cockpit.
Draco Makovic: How do you wanna die? By rockets? Or Railgun? Might as well do both. It sounds fun.
Draco got back into his titan and he fired rockets at the two. Taylor used Riley's vortex shield to catch the incoming rockets, but Draco detonated them before Taylor could release them, severely damaging Riley's left arm and disabling the shield permanently. Draco then used his booster engines to charge towards Taylor and knocked him down the hillside. The two then engaged each other with Taylor firing his chain gun while running around and dodging Draco's rail gun. Draco used his flying ability to his advantage.
Taylor: Riley, do we have any missiles left?
Riley: Out of Acolyte missiles. Grapple hook can be used to bring down enemy pilot.
Taylor: Let's use it.
Draco flew down and used his Railgun to lay blows to Riley's chassis. Taylor used the damaged left arm to grab the Railgun and fire his chain gun on the torso of Draco's titan. Draco then boosted up and fired his Railgun into Riley's right leg. He then prepared to fire his barrage of rockets at the two while flying.

Draco Makovic: A titan that cannot fly. Too bad for you, asshole!
Then, Conrad's titan grabbed Draco's titan and ripped the rocket pods off of the chassis.
Riley: Taylor, recommend using the grapple hook.
Taylor locks on Draco and fires the grapple hook into the shoulder of Draco's titan.
Draco Makovic: What the fuck?! You don't know when to give up. Do you?
Draco blasted his boosters and tries to fly away. Taylor grabs the cable to try and pull him down. Draco's titan started dragging Taylor and his titan on the ground. Taylor and Riley were then picked up by Draco and they held onto the cable while Draco flew through the air.
SFC. Sarah Conrad: (Radio) Taylor, keep holding on. I'm taking a shot.
Conrad takes aim with her Railgun and shoots Draco, taking out his boosters. The two titans fell to the ground like two stones. Conrad lands near Draco's damaged titan and she rips open the hatch with her titan. She got out of her titan and goes to the cockpit, picking up Draco and throwing him out of his titan into the dirt. She then grabs him and punches his helmet real hard, cracking his visor. She then drops him and holds him down with her boot on his neck.
SFC. Sarah Conrad: I own the sky now.
Taylor, Riley, and Conrad regrouped with the others in a field with Militia Widow dropships there to pick up the team and their titans. The MCS Stockton was hovering over them and attacking an IMC vessel from afar.
