Blake Ascending
 |
The Early Years of the Jihad
November 3067 saw the culmination of work two centuries in the making¸ work begun by Primus Conrad Toyama of ComStar¸ successor to Jerome Blake and the man responsible for single-handedly turning ComStar into a pseudo-religious organization with a vision: to lead mankind to the light…by any means necessary.
When the Star League self-destructs¸ a shadowy power behind the fanatical Word of Blake pulls the strings taut in righteous anger¸ launching a war to bring humanity to its knees. Confusion reigns¸ and each faction finds itself isolated amid its own turmoil. Yet as a new decade dawns¸ glimpses of the greater whole begin to appear through the dark clouds. The true battle has only just begun.
Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation is an omnibus reprint of Dawn of the Jihad and Jihad Hot Spots: 3070; the first two sourcebooks in the seminal Jihad plot line. The Blake Ascending sourcebook shakes the BattleTech universe to its foundation¸ documenting the opening years from 3067 to 3070. The series of events presented in this book unfold in a rolling format¸ allowing readers to immerse themselves more directly into the action than ever before. Players of both BattleTech and A Time of War: The BattleTech RPG will find framework rules to run any type of campaign in regions through out the Inner Sphere during this chaotic time.
