BattleTech - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia BattleTech's universe is comprised of numerous interstellar human governments; these remnants of the effectively defunct Star League are fighting a war over control of the Inner Sphere and the five Successor States. BattleTech was originally released under the name BattleDroids, but was renamed with the release of the second edition due to George Lucas and Lucasfilm Ltd. holding a trademark on the term droid. BattleTech has won three Origins Awards and its various spinoffs and expansions several more. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/BattleTech   (2522 words)

Clans (BattleTech) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Clans typically speak a dialect of Terran English; however, they disdain and avoid the use of contractions and similar practices in speech, with the exception of the ritualised contractions used specifically by the warrior caste. Clan Diamond Shark changed its name back to Sea Fox in 3100 after the events surrounding their censure by the Grand Council and relocation to the Inner Sphere during the Blakist Jihad caused the development of autonomous trade fleets known as Khanates, and a new chapter in the history of the Clan began. Clan Smoke Jaguar's weakness has filled its warriors with frustration and a fierce desire to prove they are still a force to be reckoned with - which makes the Jaguars a potentially dangerous enemy for their Clan brethren and Inner Sphere powers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Clans_(BattleTech)   (13382 words)

Xbox.com MechAssault - Clans of BattleTech Clan Cloud Cobra tends to seem less threatening to many neutral and even extremist clans, due to the all-encompassing nature of "The Way." Once there were 20 clans, but today, only 14 remain. The genesis of Clan Snow Raven was a difficult internal struggle; born from that struggle is a pervading sense of distrust of outsiders, and the driving need to keep everything "in the group." Unfortunately, this outlook has led to similar distrust within the clan. www.xbox.com /en-US/mechassault/behindthegame.htm   (1869 words)

The SF Site: A Look at FASA's BattleTech Universe Invading Clans (1994, $18, #1645) describes the history, culture and military capabilities of the sons and daughters of the legendary Aleksandr Kerensky, the Clans Ghost Bear, Steel Viper, Nova Cat, and others. Unlike virtually every other licensed property, the BattleTech novels are not merely an adjunct to the core series, constrained to return everyone and everything neatly to its proper place by the end of the book to maintain continuity. BattleTech record sheets are an extremely handy play-aid for virtually any battle. www.sfsite.com /10a/btech18.htm   (1717 words)

Battletech This game is based on 3025 Battletech (history, mechanics, and politics). The attack halted as the Clan leaders met to vote for a new leader and the Successor States rallied resources, and tactical intelligence to brace for the coming storm. With the intent to increase the honor of a Clan commanders unit by bidding the lowest possible forces to succeed in accomplishing a military goal. home.satx.rr.com /metoyz   (2197 words)

BattleTech: The Return II BattleTech: The Return II BattleTech: the Return II As expected, my first essay and story about the future of BattleTech has created a lot of excitement. Gaming is entertainment, and BattleTech is a commercial entertainment property, and both are well beyond the control of those who might set themselves up as a priesthood (and my choice of religious terminology here is not a shot at either the Church of BattleTech or the Ministry of BattleTech). BattleTech, as a property, has lasted sixteen years, which puts it ahead of a lot of things, from Masters of the Universe, to Power Rangers and even those Mutant Ninja Turtles. www.stormwolf.com /essays/btechret2.html   (3611 words)

BattleTech - The Official Game of The Most Important Website, Ever Clan Night Hawk, with whom the Dark Phoenix had severed ties forty years earlier, offered an alliance to stop the Clans from conquering the whole of the Inner Sphere, and with the agreement of Clan Wolfwere, they formed a defense council intent on stopping the Clans at all costs. Dark Phoenix society still had many of the Clans' stratifications, but the prejudice against freeborn warriors was not nearly as strong as it is within the Clans. It still is intent on keeping the Clans from overtaking the Inner Sphere, but many skeptics suggest that the only reason for this is that the Shogun wants to take over first. www.geocities.com /CollegePark/4288/battletech/history.htm   (1231 words)

bkwaycln.rvw Having run away from a dying civilization, the BattleTech "Clans" look forward to the day when they can fight their way back in and gift the remnant savages with that same civilizaiton. BattleTech takes place at a sufficient distance from us in space and time that the authors must think the laws of logic no longer apply. The Clans are intent upon retaking "inner space", so all effort and materials are directed towards that end. sun.soci.niu.edu /~rslade/bkwaycln.rvw   (409 words)

BattleTech Timeline After making their reports to the Clans, Wolf's Dragoons return to the Inner Sphere with orders from a faction within the clans (known as the Wardens) to prepare the Inner Sphere for the Clan invasion (being led by the opposing faction, known as the Crusaders). The Clans are formed, based on a clan governmental structure which uses genetic engineering to create the best warriors the Human Worlds have ever seen. By the time the Clans prepare to return to the Inner Sphere, new races of perfect troops for infantry, aerospace and Mech piloting have been created and placed behind the most advanced weapons technology ever created, surpassing the Inner Sphere by a wide margin. www.gamesnet.org /Spoint/history/BTech_Timeline.html   (2379 words)

BattleTech Story Attacking in waves, each of the Clans that participated in the attack cut a seemingly unstoppable swath through the Inner Sphere until using guile, tenacity, and elements of the Clan's own warrior code against them, the Inner Sphere was able to stop the Clan drive toward Earth. This is an overview of the battleTech Universe. Also it would be a good idea to buy the Battletech sourcebooks, Table Top games, and video games. pgh_mechwarriors.tripod.com /battletech_story.htm   (1028 words)

If the clans had won Tukkayid The Clans do have a culture, its "Modified Star League" and they cling to it tenaciously as shown in their strict adherance to the "no contractions" social taboo as a way of trying to maintain the Star League's official language as it was spoken all those years ago. Had Tukayyid been won by the clans, you would have seen IS naval ships well before they were produced in the canon universe. I'm talking about early on, when they plowed through the 12th Donegal Guards with no effort at all and went on to talk about how hot shit they were because they beat down on this backwater pirate hunting unit. forums.classicbattletech.com /index.php?topic=28837.msg626144   (4507 words)

Solaris7 Communication Center While this way of life has allowed the clans to live in a less volatile, albeit predictable, way than the Inner Sphere nations, I cannot say that the clans are in any way better than the Inner Sphere. The Clans are very much divided which easily enables foreign powers to conquer them, i.e., Clan Smoke Jaguar, then the next Clan, and so on. The Clans don't like the Null Signature System or smoke missiles because they consider them to be dishonorable. www.solaris7.com /boards/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2281   (670 words)

BattleTech vs. Actual History In the BattleTech timeline, the Clans were invading the Inner Sphere but the Khan, Leo Showers, died and they stopped the invasion, just like what happened when Ogadai died. Obviously, the Mongols called their king/leader "Khan" as in Battletech, and they were divided into Clans just as in BT. One of the most common symbols of the Mongols was the wolf, which is prevalent in BattleTech (Clan Wolf). www.netpath.net /~markf/bthis.html   (666 words)

Amazon.com: The Twilight of the Clans II: Grave Covenant (Battletech 34): Books: Michael A. Stackpole Given how long the Twilight of the Clans series is, I think it was fair enough to have a lengthy political build-up which explains all that follows. I used to really like the set-up of BattleTech. Meanwhile, Katrina, who has twice the talent and intelligence of her brother (he himself admitted that she is a much better ruler than he is), must be evil at every turn; while Omi, who would never aspire to rulership of any kind, is wonderful. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0451456130?v=glance   (1211 words)
