Experimental Technical Readout: Republic 3
The year is 3146. The Inner Sphere is embroiled in some of the most devastating warfare since the Word of Blake Jihad. Within its Fortress walls¸ the core of the Republic lies safe for now¸ yet poised in a state of uneasy readiness. Desperate to maintain its battlefield edge¸ new technologies - including volatile¸ experimental gear from the Republic's Institute for Strategic Combat¸ and its equally revolutionary Rhodes Project - have been hastily pressed into service. But the Republic's enemies have not been idle¸ and the reports of new Clan innovations have come as a rude surprise. The future of the Inner Sphere now hangs in a precarious balance; who will have the weapons to turn conflict's tide to their own favor?
