Were I a clanner in that situation I think I'd beeline to go conquer Tortuga. It's quite distant from the Inner Sphere which provides some protection, it would appear to have at least some kind of shipyards given they can maintain their JumpShips that far from everybody else, they aren't...

Need to set those sats up with a camera, and have them automatically take pictures of any incoming vessel and HPG said pictures back up the line, so you know who came for the sat.

Capcon are actually the high-tech ones in BT. They have the short end of the stick as far as BattleMech factories but have tons of electronics and civilian factories. While the much-vaunted NAIS managed to build a mech-scale ax, Capcon was developing ECM and Beagle Probes. Their love of...

Talons won't be invented for a while (and curiously get invented by the Clans even though they abhor mech melee combat). Retractable blades are a bit odd in that they never became lostech and existed for a really long time but somehow nobody ever bothered to use them outside of Solaris until...

Why would known opponents matter? 'Mechs are 'mechs across the Inner Sphere, they all use the same tech and all fight the same way. Victor had Star League tech, which as far as anyone knew was the single most advanced thing the universe had ever seen. That some total unknown barbarians from...

Remember how Hanse became First Prince, because his brother was killed fighting on the front lines at Mallory's World? Or how Hanse lost his first fiancee because he and she were fighting together on the front lines at Halstead? Or how Peter Davion was killed fighting on the front lines...

Now this is getting interesting. It's quite rare for a BT SI to reach the clan invasions at all.

I wanna be honest, this chapter seems too short and didn't do much. It's all tell and no show and even the tell is just a few 'mech designs and "politics happened" without any resolution, just the statement that maneuvers are happening. This story's been better quality than this so far.

That's exactly what a Wolverine sympathizer trying to throw the Clans off the scent would say!

Well that was Brutal. The Marians were pretty stupid to take on a functional WarShip when they had nothing bigger than an Overlord.

In the normal style sheet used in BattleTech you would write Wasp or Locust, not Wasp or Locust. 'Mech design names are italicized.

Huh, Sub-Capital weapons ahead of time and not remotely in Blakist hands. That's going to change a lot, making WarShips a lot less viable if pocket warships show up so much sooner. Been meaning to ask, most of your 'mech names aren't capitalized. Is that just a stylistic choice to avoid the...

The Tortuga Dominions always bugged me. These pirates are somehow deploying and regularly raiding the Inner Sphere even though their base of operations is five jumps away from any other inhabited systems and we get told repeatedly that jumping into an uninhabited system is dangerous and...

A little bit of autocorrupt getting you...
