INTRODUCTION

It is ironic that in their rabid desire to conquer us and forge a new Star League, the Clans forced the Inner Sphere to create the only thing that could save us—a new Star League. With the stroke of a pen, the Great House leaders achieved what they had failed to accomplish through force of arms. The combined might of the Inner Sphere—united under the banner of the Star League—moved like a whirlwind into the Smoke Jaguar occupation zone, sweeping the Jaguar forces before them. In four short months, they reclaimed what most had thought lost forever: forty-four worlds occupied by the Clans. Hoping to deal the fi nal blow to the already wounded Jaguars, Archon-Prince Victor Steiner-Davion, along with Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht and many others, led a multinational force in a far-ranging strike against Clan Smoke Jaguar’s homeworld, Huntress.

More than a year has passed since their departure, but my calculations indicate that the task force should already be returning to the Inner Sphere. I can conceive of no other outcome but that they will return.

All has not been quiet in their absence. The Inner Sphere united to annihilate an entire Clan, but the Star League alliance is troubled at best. First Lord Sun-Tzu Liao is using his position to expand his realm. Tension brewing between the Federated Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance seems certain to erupt into a full-scale war between two of the most powerful Houses in the Inner Sphere. In addition, four Clans still hold more than one hundred fi fty worlds. All of this has spurred the military designers and manufacturers of the Inner Sphere to new heights of innovation. In my 3058 report, I noted that the Draconis Combine had begun to fi eld its own OmniMechs. As you will note in this latest report, all the Houses save the Federated Commonwealth are currently constructing and fi elding OmniMechs. (House Davion’s lack of progress in this area must be attributed to Prince Victor’s preoccupation with the Clans and recent absence.) Perhaps even more startling is the abundance of new weapon systems appearing in Inner Sphere ’Mechs and vehicles. Though most of this technology has been re-engineered from captured Clan technology, several weapon systems are unique to the Inner Sphere, attesting to the drive and ingenuity of Inner Sphere scientists.

Many are proclaiming that the resurrected Star League will bring back the prosperity and peace of days gone by, but I have my doubts. With the Inner Sphere (and Clans) producing more ’Mechs and introducing new technologies for military use faster than ever before, I can only assume that continued war will result.

As always, I wish to thank the legions of ComStar personnel whose observations and painstaking research make up this report. All our eff orts would be in vain without their aid. Additionally, I pray for a speedy return of our forces. All I can do is entrust this report to our Explorer Corps, and hope that their HPG transmission will fi nd my good friend Pascal and our Precentor Martial in good health and on their way home.

INTRODUCTION

Per the order of the Precentor Martial, I have compiled a report of the current military hardware that has become available to both the Clans and Inner Sphere forces since our last report.

My team and I have spent countless hours decoding a wealth of captured Smoke Jaguar military fi les. Though many of the fi les were corrupted, we have successfully pieced together our fi rst look at Clan military documentation. Production facilities, structural components, weapon series—all have fi nally fallen into our hands. Additionally, we have information on many of the second-line ’Mechs that have not yet been seen in the Inner Sphere, as well as Clan vehicles. We have also painstakingly compiled as much information as possible about the new ProtoMechs fi elded against Task Force Serpent by the Smoke Jaguars. I personally doubt we will ever fi eld Inner Sphere ProtoMechs. First, the enhanced imaging (EI) technology required to pilot a ProtoMech is proving extremely diffi cult to duplicate. Second, and perhaps more important, are the psychological requirements of the ProtoMechs: invasive surgery for the EI implants, plus complete sensory deprivation and total personality submersion when piloting the ProtoMechs. Clansmen, who are born and raised warriors, can easily adapt to such extreme conditions. Most Inner Sphere warriors would simply not submit to or survive that type of trauma. This knowledge remains valuable, however; for though the Smoke Jaguars are no more, the other Clans are most likely already involved in Trials of Possession for this new technology, and ProtoMechs will surely soon appear in their toumans.

I recently received a report from Demi-Precentor Merle Jimmus—transmitted to our convoy by the Explorer Corps via our HPG system—on the current status of the Inner Sphere, which I have included in this report. I have always considered Jimmus remarkably gifted at reading and extrapolating from current events in the Inner Sphere; we should heed his warnings, so that we are not surprised at the state of aff airs when we return home.

Finally, I must humbly thank the Precentor Martial for all his support and assistance. That my work has been of some use to our forces and our Inner Sphere allies is of great comfort to me. Additionally, I humbly thank the Precentor Martial for thinking me worthy of promotion to the rank of Precentor. I pray that this report is worthy of my new station.
