So, how's the storyline like after the FedCom civil war? I haven't been following on BattleTech since.

Oh man, that's when I cut out too, early 2000s. I came back in the last few years and saw that Catalyst had really restored the franchise.

3067 Word of Blake (boo, hiss) takes over Terra and starts the Jihad. COMStar fails to take Terra back.

WoB attacked Luthien, Tharkad, New Avalon. Outreach gets nuked. Pretty much everyone takes advantage to attack their old rivals.

Clan Ghost Bear evacuates the whole clan, Touman and workers, to their Inner Sphere holdings in the FRR.

Tons of the characters you know get killed.

3080s Devlin Stone shows up Deus ex Machina and kicks out the Wobbies. He founds the Republic of the Sphere.

Maps change, some clans change names or merge with the IS. (Nova Cats, Ghost Bears, Snow Ravens, Sea Fox (neé Diamond Shark))

Peace!

3132 Devlin Stone retires, and then still-unknown forces break the HPG network across the Sphere, and things fall apart. This is where the old Dark Age books and Clickey-tech minis come in when WizKids took over the license from FASA and did a time jump. Since then, Catalyst took over and is still filling in the gaps.

War starts again. The Draconis Combine invades FedSuns. Wolves and Jade Falcons attack Tharkad. Alaric Ward becomes Khan of Wolf. And somehow, Devlin Stone Returned.

The Republic of the Sphere has a still-unexplained bullshit technology called The Wall that blocks jump ships from entering their space.

3151 Wolves under Alaric Ward and Falcons under Malvina Hazen figure out how to get last The Wall and race towards Terra to defeat the remnants of Republic of the Sphere. An ilClan is declared, fulfilling the goal of the original Clan Invasion.

That's where we are.

Your main sourcebooks are Era Report:3145, then Shattered Fortress, and lastly IlClan.
