I have been a fan of Battletech since I found the 2nd Edition box in my local bookstore in the mid 80's. I read the novels in high school and college, ran many a game in the basement of the dorm or in my apartment, and destroyed multitudes of mechs via my pc and various Mechwarrior games. Admittedly, I have only played the game sparingly over the last few years, but I have been a big fan of the deep and detailed storyline of the Inner Sphere since day one. I have all of the classic novels, sourcebooks, technical readouts, and more up to the Jihad. I am working on adding those books to my collection now as I think I can wrap my brain around it. When the Jihad first appeared, it was a bit of a shock after many other shocks in the universe so I left Battletech for awhile. But, while my level of involvement has fluctuated, my interest in Battletech has never left me even after almost two decades.

My goal here on Sarna.net is to add those little details from the universe that often get missed as most people focus on the mechs and weapons. Alien species, companies, universities and all the details that give Battletech depth and character. Also, in my opinion, this would make Sarna a great tool for anyone running a rpg in the universe. As I have run a few of those types of games, having a detailed resource at hand would have made life simpler!

Personal Goals:

Add references to all known alien species and the worlds in which they may be found - Status: Added several, but taking a break

Add a listing for all known companies and their homeworlds within the Inner Sphere - Status: Have most of the companies from the House Steiner book listed and am now tip toeing my way through the House Kurita book.

Add a reference to all the universities - Status: Future project, no work completed yet
