BattleTech: Solaris VII; The Game World (1991)

From the back cover:

""Let the Games begin!"

The bay door swings up and away, revealing your opponent across a labyrinth of obstacles rising from the arena floor. Barely aware that the signal has been given, you are off and running, weapons blazing to cover your desperate sprint to safety. Diving through a maelstrom of explosions, you round a corner and charge your foe, ignoring the insistent flashing of your warning lights.

Welcome to the Game World, where war is a busines and life is a gamble.

Solaris VII is a supplemental for use with BattleTech and MechWarrior, providing everything needed for a MechWarrior to experience the life of a gladiator up close and personal. From the deadly 'Mech duels to the nightly intrigues at Thor's Shieldhall, Solaris VII challenges all the skills your characters possess.

Solaris VII includes a full-color map of Solaris City, a gazetteer of the Game World, a gamemaster's guide, and a full-color map for each of the 5 arenas run by the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere. Solaris VII also introduces the BattleMech Dueling System, a BattleTech expansion for running one-to-one tactical combat with more tactical options than ever before.

How good are you?

On Solaris, finding out will get you rich or get you killed."
