Era Digest: Age of War
 |
A UNIVERSE IN FLAMES!
Between the collapse of the Terran Alliance¸ and the rise of the First Star League¸ humankind was scattered among the worlds of the Inner Sphere. Driven by their own ambitions and united by fear of their neighbors¸ mighty star empires rose up from the ashes of abandoned colonies¸ absorbing the remains of mankind's interstellar exodus¸ and gave rise to the noble Houses of the Inner Sphere.
Driven by greed¸ fear¸ and dreams of glory¸ these Houses were at war by the dawn of the twenty-fifth century. The decades of conflict would leave no realm untouched¸ and forever altered the course of human destiny.
Era Digest: Age of War is a mini-sourcebook that explores the pivotal developments of the Sphere-wide fighting that ultimately led to the birth of the Star League¸ featuring a glimpse of life in the BattleTech universe before the age of the BattleMech¸ the rise of neo-feudalism¸ and a look at the evolution of combat from the savagery of "total warfare" to the chivalry of MechWarriors. Complete with rules and stats for several Age of War units¸ Era Digest: Age of War also features role-playing support for this crucial setting in BattleTech history!
