Publisher's Description of the Product[edit]

“ The year is 3120. Under the aegis of the Republic of the Sphere, the Inner Sphere has experienced its greatest time of peace since the days of the original Star League. Raised from the ashes of the Jihad, the Republic stands for the ideals of unity and justice, but even its triumphs have come at no small cost in blood. Entering the thirty-second century with a mixture of righteousness and hubris, the Republic remains at the forefront of a new arms race. Technologies considered experimental not so very long ago are now being fielded by line regiments as factories have retooled accordingly. For friend and foe alike, the Republic’s technological standards are definitive.

Experimental Technical Readout: Republic (Volume 1) samples production and custom machines that have appeared in the BattleTech universe by the early decades of the thirty-second century. Each unit featured in this book incorporates some of the new technologies that debuted in Tactical Operations - now employed by the armed forces of the Republic of the Sphere and its contemporaries. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 new advanced and experimental BattleMechs, vehicles, and aerospace and battle armor units, ready for play in BattleTech games up to the year 3120.
