Experimental Technical Readout: Republic 1
The year is 3120. Under the aegis of the Republic of the Sphere¸ the Inner Sphere has experienced its greatest time of peace since the days of the original Star League. Raised from the ashes of the Jihad¸ the Republic stands for the ideals of unity and justice¸ but even its triumphs have come at no small cost in blood. Entering the thirty-second century with a mixture of righteousness and hubris¸ the Republic remains at the forefront of a new arms race. Technologies considered experimental not so very long ago are now being fielded by line regiments as factories have retooled accordingly. For friend and foe alike¸ the Republic's technological standards are definitive.
Experimental Technical Readout: Republic (Volume 1) 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 3120.
