Experimental Technical Readout: Republic 2
The year is 3136. Just when it seemed certain that the Republic of the Sphere had led the Inner Sphere to a true era of peace¸ all hopes lie in ruins. Communications have broken down¸ separatist factions run amok on defenseless worlds¸ the Great Houses are saber-rattling like in the worst of times¸ and the Clans are once more on the prowl. Withering in the chaos¸ much of the Republic has fallen back behind the inscrutable barrier known as Fortress Republic¸ while its severed Remnant scrambles for its very survival. Bereft of their central authority¸ the surviving warriors of the RAF face uncertain times¸ surrounded now by enemies whose war machines have caught up with the technological leaps of the past decade.
Experimental Technical Readout: Republic II samples production and custom machines that have appeared in the BattleTech universe by the early decades of the thirty-second century. Each unit featured in this book incorporates some of the new technologies that debuted in Tactical Operations - now employed by the armed forces of the Republic of the Sphere and its contemporaries. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 new advanced and experimental BattleMechs¸ vehicles¸ and aerospace and battle armor units¸ ready for play in BattleTech games up to the year 3136.
