''When they first arrived in the [[Federated Commonwealth]], no one knew who these [[Clans|mysterious invaders]] were. Soon, Clan Jade Falcon became a name to be feared. They seemed completely unstoppable. They piloted strange new [[OmniMech|'Mech]]s. Their armored infantry, nicknamed "[[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Toads]]" by their stunned opponents, were unlike anything seen before. They nearly killed the [[Victor Ian Steiner-Davion|heir]] to the throne.''

* Large portions of the information contained in this book have been superseded, changed and altered by later sources, most notably [[Anastasius Focht]]'s introduction at the start of the book claims much of the information in it comes from the crew of the captured [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]] vessel ''[[Outbound Light]]'' after their return to the [[Inner Sphere]], while later sources now indicate they never returned or were heard from again.

* The five 'Mechs introduced here received the [[Technical Readout]] treatment with [[Technical Readout: 3055]] and its successors.
* In the write-up for the first wave of attacks, it is mentioned that the Jade Falcons had attacked [[Alkalurops]] where they fought the Alkalurops Militia and the combined arms "Bouncers Regiment" mercenary unit. This was obviously in error as Alkalurops is hundreds of light years away from the Clan invasion corridors. ''[[Era Report: 3052]]'' clarifies that "Bouncer's Regiment" was listed as the 7th Regiment of the [[12th Star Guards]] mercenary unit and fought the Jade Falcons on [[Bensinger]]. The descriptions of the fighting and outcome are similar, and Bensinger, which is situated in the middle of worlds hit in the first wave, is not mentioned in this sourcebook so it apparently was somehow mixed up with Alkalurops.
 
* Numerous [[DropShip]]s mentioned in the Clan Jade Falcon TOE within the book are classified as ''[[Union]]'' or ''[[Overlord]]'' class. According to an official [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=56035.0 ruling] by [[Ray "Adrian Gideon" Arrastia]], made in the "Ask the Lead Developers" section of the [[BattleTech Forum]] which is reserved for official rulings, these can be assumed to be ''[[Union-C]]'' and ''[[Overlord-C]]'' class instead. (The Clan DropShip classes had not yet been written into [[canon]] when this sourcebook was written.)
