In 3132, eighty percent of the hyperpulse generators in the Inner Sphere shut down, silencing virtually all interstellar communications between the thousands of worlds humankind called home. Remembering the horrors of the Jihad that ended just half a century before, paranoid citizens and opportunistic leaders across the Sphere instinctively girded for the invasions that were sure to come. As ancient rivals once again turned against each other, the Republic of the Sphere—once a beacon of hope for billions—found itself nearly torn asunder by hostile neighbors on every side.

A new Dark Age had begun.
Era Report: 3145 describes the state of the Inner Sphere at critical age in BattleTech history: the years of the Dark Age era. Presented as a general overview of the period, rather than a focused report on a single conflict, this book includes descriptions of every major Inner Sphere faction active in the wake of the catastrophic failure of the interstellar HPG grid. Notable personalities, military forces, and an overview of the technological capabilities of the Dark Age era are also provided, along with special advanced-level rules for campaigns set during this time, whether played using the Total Warfare core rules or those found in A Time of War: The BattleTech RPG.

The year is 3085. In the wake of the Jihad, a new realm—the Republic of the Sphere—has been born. Drawing war-weary masses from all over the Inner Sphere, the Republic stands for unity and security, in the hopes that never again will its worlds suffer from centuries of relentless war. But even though the common threat has finally passed, few believe they have seen the last of war. As the combined realms and Clans of the Inner Sphere struggle to rebuild, a new balance of power has begun to emerge.

Field Manual: 3085 updates the military and political state of the Inner Sphere in the years following the end of the Jihad and the formation of the Republic of the Sphere. This report includes a brief history and overview of recent developments in the BattleTech universe (including the formation and organization of the Republic of the Sphere), as well as current TO&Es for all of the major ’Mech and mercenary commands employed by the realms and Clans of the post-Jihad Inner Sphere. Special rules are also included, enabling players to create characters and forces for use in campaigns set in and after this critical point in BattleTech history.

• Provides an “end cap” summary of one of the most epic periods in the history of BattleTech: the Jihad.
• Meshes with the recently published Jihad: The Final Reckoning, which describes the final actions of the war and the birth of The Republic that will influence so many future events.
• Updates and combines the data first presented in the PDF-exclusive Field Report, series, which described individual factions in the aftermath of the events described in Jihad Hot Spots: Terra.
• Meshes with the upcoming Field Manual: 3150 sourcebook, planned to fleshout the Dark Age Era.
• Establishes the post-Jihad setting as a period where role-players and war game campaigns may be set, by providing additional rules and tables for the setting.

ENEMIES AT THE GATES

It is the year 3145. Only thirteen years have passed since Gray Monday -the day that most of humanity's interstellar communications grid suddenly and mysteriously collapsed. Plunged into darkness and fearing the worst, the leaders and armies of the Inner Sphere scrambled to act, some fearing the approach of invaders, others seeking to exploit the chaos. Now, armies are on the march, war has erupted on every front, and the Republic of the Sphere, once a sign of mankind's hope for a brighter future -has retreated behind its fortress walls to prepare for the inevitable.

This sourcebook provides a complete summary of the military readiness of the various factions in the BattleTech universe in the year 3145, shortly after the events described in Steven Mohan’s Bonfire of Worlds epub novel, when the various factions of the Inner Sphere battle one another around the crumbling remains of the Republic of the Sphere.

• Provides a comprehensive summary of the military forces of the various Houses and Clans of the BattleTech setting in 3145.
• Meshes with the recently published Era Report: 3145 , which describes the history and general state of the Inner Sphere since the end of the Jihad.
• Focuses more on setting than a single conflict, providing additional role-playing and campaign hooks for games set in the long-awaited Dark Age period.
• Meshes with Field Manual: 3085, which introduced the newborn Republic of the Sphere faction, and details its evolution from a hopeful post-Jihad state to a realm besieged by enemies on all sides.
• Demonstrates the evolution of the various armies of the Inner Sphere and Clan powers in the decades following the Word of Blake Jihad, and their ability to wage war even after an age of extended, relative peace.

In 3081, the Republic of the Sphere was born from the ruins of the Word of Blake Protectorate. For an Inner Sphere devastated by the horrors of escalating war, the Republic was a beacon of hope for a brighter, more peaceful future…

For a time, it almost was.

Historical: Wars of the Republic Era describes the border conflicts that inevitably erupted in the decades after the Word of Blake Jihad. Covering the largest of these conflicts in particular—including the Second Combine-Dominion War, the Victoria War, and the Republic of the Sphere’s own war against the Capellan Confederation—this book provides a hard look at the early years of what would come to be known as the Dark Age Era.

Beware the Slumbering Dragon!
On 20 August, 3028, Hanse Davion of the Federated Suns launched the most successful Succession War in history. Simultaneously capturing half of the Capellan Confederation, sidelining the power of House Liao for decades, while launching a union that would eventually lead to the formation of the largest, strongest interstellar power since the original Star League: the Federated Commonwealth. However the Fox could not be content with such success and a scant decade later moved to crush his age old enemy, House Kurita. In April 3039, forces of Houses Davion and Steiner moved to slay an apparently weakened Dragon only to find the fury of teeth and claws.

The first in a new series, the Historicals: War of 3039 campaign sourcebook details the action involving every line unit in this pivotal war. Wave maps and full regiment listings convey additional details, while ample campaign rules provide a framework allowing players to replay every laser shot and autocannon blast.
