Description[edit]

The appropriately named FedCom Civil War details the largest conflict to engulf the Inner Sphere in over a decade: the Federated Commonwealth Civil War. The book begins with a short story, an introduction, and then a historical synopsis that traces the history of the Federated Commonwealth; from its beginnings in the FedCom Accords signed by Katrina Steiner and Hanse Davion, to the secession of the Lyran Alliance by Katherine Steiner-Davion, up to the outbreak of war in December 3062.

The meat of the book is in its descriptions of the battles that involved line units. It breaks the conflict up into chronological "waves", though the invasion by Clan Jade Falcon is set off by itself. It then follows the battles for each world during the war, including those that were in the Draconis Combine and Jade Falcon Occupation Zone. The source information ends with tables detailing each line unit's move throughout each wave and an atlas that provides planetary data for some of the worlds involved in the conflict. Finally, FedCom Civil War provides limited rules structure for those who wish to run games during this period.

From the Back Cover[edit]

BROTHER VS. SISTER

For five long years, two of the most powerful Great Houses have been in the grip of a bloody civil war. Raging across eight hundred planets and a thousand light years, it has affected countless billions. Now, as the dust settles, the full story is revealed.

The FedCom Civil War sourcebook details the action involving every line unit throughout the civil war. Wave maps and full regiment listings break down the maneuvering and battles fought by individual forces. Expansive information on over forty war-torn worlds is also included.
