Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars
 |
After the fall of the first Star League and the exodus of the SLDF¸ the five Great Houses of the Inner Sphere unleashed their armies against one another with a vengeance¸ each claiming to be the rightful heirs to the Cameron legacy and the First Lordship of the Inner Sphere. Their scorched earth tactics left entire worlds barren¸ and destroyed many of the precious technologies taken for granted during the golden days of the Star League's peak. As the years stretched into centuries¸ their great navies evaporated¸ and even their mighty BattleMech armies shrank and regressed as their advanced weapons and equipment failed and were forgotten.
Yet even as the Inner Sphere slid toward scavenger tech¸ the various powers of the Inner Sphere struggled to hone their edge with whatever remained¸ hoping to turn the tide of the endless Succession Wars with some new innovation their enemies might not have considered.
Experimental Technical Readout: Succession Wars¸ Volume 1 samples some of the desperate technological experiments that the war-ravaged powers of the Inner Sphere tinkered with during the post-Star League Succession Wars period. Each design featured in this book demonstrates the combination of regressing post-Star League technology levels on the BattleMechs¸ combat vehicles¸ and aerospace units that followed. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 14 BattleMechs¸ vehicles¸ aerospace units presented in this book¸ ready for play in advanced BattleTech games.
