'''''Invading Clans''''' is presented as a report by [[Jaime Wolf]] about five of the seven [[Clans]] that participated in [[Operation REVIVAL]] (Clans [[Wolf Clan Sourcebook|Wolf]] and [[Jade Falcon Sourcebook|Jade Falcon]] were covered separately by [[Comstar]]). Details on each Clan's history, unit rosters and exclusively-owned [[BattleMech]] designs are provided, along with an Occupation Zone section that summarizes each battle fought by that Clan during the [[Clan Invasion]].

It is also the only sourcebook that provides in-depth information on [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] prior to that Clan's annihilation in 3059-60.

''They came from beyond the [[Periphery]]: invaders with advanced weapons, strange tactics and stranger customs. Arriving in [[3049]], they attacked world after world with unrelenting fury. By [[3052]] they had conquered more than 200 planets, and their target was clear. They sought to capture the cradle of humanity: [[Terra]]. If not for the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] and the resulting truce, the Earth would surely have fallen.''

[[Category:Books]]
* A number of notable changes to information provided in earlier sourcebooks were made in this title, such as Clan Diamond Shark not being totally wiped out on Tukayyid or Clan Nova Cat making use of [[Land-Air 'Mech]] production lines, "dangerous inaccuracies" in largely in-universe [[ComStar]] penned reports that [[Wolfnet]] chalks up to the [[ComStar Schism|effects of the Schism]] and insisting its efforts are more truthful.
 
* [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] [[Loremaster]] [[Edumund Hoyt]] is erroneously referred to as the Smoke Jaguar Khan in several places.
 
* The Diamond Shark chapter erroneously refers to [[Vandervahn Chistu]] as the senior Jade Falcon Khan and [[Elias Crichell]] as the Falcon saKhan during the start of the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref name=IC137-39>''Invading Clans'', pp. 137–139</ref> At the start of the Clan Invasion, Elias Crichell was the senior Jade Falcon Khan and [[Timur Malthus]] was the Falcon saKhan.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 20</ref><ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 17</ref> Vandervahn Chistu became the Jade Falcon saKhan after September 3050.<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', pp. 28–29, 42</ref>
