Line 4: Sometime after the [[Blackout]], when chaos erupted across the [[Inner Sphere]], the Republic of the Sphere was forced to militarize themselves to survive, as they were attacked across all their space by multiple factions. One of their mainstay characteristics was the use of the most advanced technology available, and the creation of new weapons or upgrading of old ones. The most characteristic investigation program was to create a [[BattleMech]] bigger than any other, a real mobile fortress.
