Technical Readout: Jihad
 |
November 3067 saw the culmination of work two centuries in the making¸ work begun by Primus Conrad Toyama of ComStar¸ successor to Jerome Blake and the man responsible for single-handedly turning ComStar into a pseudo-religious organization with a vision: to lead mankind to the light.
But then the Second Star League collapsed .
Denied their dream¸ the Blakists fought to preserve the Star League against the follies of the Great Houses¸ its fanaticism manifested as the Jihad: a horrific war that pitted every nation against each other. This era saw bleeding edge machines march off to war¸ while venerable 'Mechs continued to receive upgrades and facelifts. Even primitive 'Mechs not seen in over half a millennia once again appear on the battlefield.
Technical Readout: Jihad expands on Technical Readout: Succession Wars and Technical Readout: Clan Invasion by combining the 'Mechs previously found in Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade¸ Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade¸ Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade¸ Technical Readout: 3060¸ Technical Readout: 3067¸ Technical Readout: 3075¸ Technical Readout: 3085 ¸ and Technical Readout: Project Phoenix ¸ this volume features some of the most common 'Mechs from the Jihad. Each machine is accompanied by an illustration¸ a description of its history¸ capabilities¸ and game stats.
