INTRODUCTION

n the wake of the Clan invasion of the Inner sphere, both sides struggle to strengthen their positions and prepare for what many now refer to as Truce End. New BattleMechs
have surfaced in Inner Sphere and Clan units. Technological advances in their infancy in 3050 have come of age and are appearing in bold new designs. Our Blessed Order
has assigned me to prepare this manual to keep our members up-to-date on the sweeping changes in war machinery being developed for the day when the Inner Sphere and the
Clans clash once more. As everyone knows, the peace of Tukayyid is only a respite. The Clans will not give up their dream of capturing Terra, nor will we slacken in our zeal to
defend the birthworld of humankind.
This document contains our best intelligence regarding these new technologies. The first section of this book describes thirty-eight BattleMechs produced by the Great Houses
of the Inner Sphere in response to the seemingly unstoppable Clan military machine. The second section describes new Clan BattleMechs that we have identified, including four Clan
Wolf OmniMechs and ten second-line BattleMechs. Finally, this document offers information on the twelve OmniFighters most commonly used by the Clans during the invasion.
My staff and I gratefully acknowledge the assistance of Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht, whose first-hand knowledge of the Clans made this book possible. It has been my
great honor to work with him for nearly a decade, and I salute his rise from commander of the Com Guards to savior of the Inner sphere. He is an inspiration to us all.

When I turned over the revised
Technical Readout: 3057,
I never thought to be saddled so quickly with another such work. Luckily, I received this document in close to its final
form, requiring only organization and sign-off based on my extensive experience in modifying these ComStar documents.
However, this work is unlike previous documents my team assembled and revised. In those other documents, we kept most of the information as is, merely corrected and reor-
ganized for better presentation. This product is a complete update, exceptionally executed (as far as my skills can ascertain), adding new information into the existing text and excis-
ing information no longer considered essential. Additional materials include such divergent topics as recent battles where a particular BattleMech played a pivotal role, new vari-
ants in common use and MechWarriors piloting a given design who have gained recognition across entire sectors of the Inner Sphere. Also covered are additional “Project Phoenix”
designs [for more information, see the
Project Phoenix
document obtained from ComStar (File WN007-Sep67)].
The most unusual addition to this upgrade is the inclusion of the latest BattleMechs designed by a host of small-scale firms on Solaris VII, such as Innovative Design Concepts,
Omnitech Industries, O’Neal’s BattleMechs, Solaris Arms and Vining Engineering and Salvage Team. Unlike larger facilities, these firms develop BattleMechs (and rigorously test
them through the Games), then sell them to larger plants to begin limited or occasionally full-scale production. The original ComStar document published in 3055 contained the first
significant mention of these design firms (VEST in particular); just twelve years later, they have become a force to reckon with.
Other changes: At one point I planned to remove the OmniFighters originally presented in the ComStar document, but at the last minute I reversed my decision, updating the
data appropriately and appending that information to this document.
Finally, this document really belongs to Ryn Nikoli, who spearheaded the lion’s share of the work and made my job infinitely easier. All praise for this document should go to
Ryn and her dedicated team.
