Technical Readout 3075
 |
In November 3067 the Second Star League disbanded. The Word of Blake-a splinter group of ComStar-had been on the verge of joining in fulfillment of ancient prophecies. Denied their dream¸ the Blakists sought to preserve the Star League against the follies of the Houses¸ but its fanaticism manifested this noble goal as the Jihad: a horrific war that has pitted every faction against each other and even themselves. Against such an anvil¸ new cutting edge machines of war are marched into the fire. The discovery of an ancient Hegemony Memory Core graphically showcases the desperation of the conflict¸ as primitive 'Mechs not seen on a battlefield since the dawn of 'Mech production over a half millennia ago once again appear.
Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3075 provides a comprehensive look at the latest machines of war debuting during the Jihad: from 'Mechs to battle armor¸ Support Vehicles to DropShips and more. In addition¸ a complete "Age of War" section covers the Terran Hegemony and each of the five Great Houses during the Age of War¸ including the very first BattleMechs produced by each faction and how such machines are starting to appear once more. Each military vehicle is illustrated in detail¸ accompanied by a description of its history¸ capabilities¸ game stats¸ and some of the unit's most famous pilots.
