The Periphery
 |
The Star Systems on the outskirts of the Inner Sphere make up the area known as the Periphery. For hundreds of years¸ countless kingdoms and alliances have struggled against each other for survival in the far reaches of known space. Now¸ in the upheaval ravaging the Inner Sphere¸ these tiny realms may be the key to changing the balance of power among the Successor States.
In the wake of the Clan invasion a new era of exploration has begun. The intense efforts of the Inner Sphere bring the House Lords ever closer to discovering the Clan homeworlds. And every day of exploration reveals a more powerful¸ more complex and more exciting Periphery.
The Periphery sourcebook brings events in that area up to date¸ highlighting the larger and more improtant states in the Periphery and describing their current military forces¸ their histories¸ rulers¸ economies¸ goals and problems. This sourcebook for BattleTech also provides game information that includes 'Mechs¸ vehicles¸ personal gear and character archetypes unique to campaigns taking place in the Periphery.
