Description[edit]
Field Report 2765: DCMS is the second of a series of PDF-exclusive sourcebooks used to highlight various military powers of the Inner Sphere on the eve of the Star League Civil War. Field Report 2765: DCMS details the state of the military for the Draconis Combine as of 2765 and is presented as an in-universe overview provided to the Star League Defense Force Commanding General, Aleksandr Kerensky, from General Aaron DeChavilier; further detail puts the report in the context of an SLDF intelligence document reissued as a briefing note and intelligence document in the late thirty-first century for the units of the Republic Armed Forces, the military of the newly-formed Republic of the Sphere.
Field Report 2765: DCMS closely follows the format of Field Report: DCMS, but with two new WarShip designs with the respective record sheets.
Publisher Information[edit]
| “ | Gathering Forces...
In 2765, the Star League Defense Force was the greatest military ever assembled, unparalleled in numbers and technological prowess—but it was not alone. The House Lords and the rules of the Territorial States in the Periphery each amassed armies of their own. While none of these powers alone could challenge the sheer size and might of the SLDF, each stood ready to defend their own interests against the avarice of their neighbors. 2765 Field Report: DCMS describes the state of House Kurita’s Draconis Combine just before the events described in Historical: Liberation of Terra (Part 1), including the overall military and logistical condition of one of the Great Houses that would eventually survive the collapse of the Star League and face a new age of endless war. |

Notes[edit]
- The Field Report 2765 series lacks the table of contents usually found in sourcebooks. The list shown here was assembled from page headings.
- It should be noted that the Field Report 2765 series has been plagued with confusion about the correct titles due to the subtitle appearing above 2765 on the cover.
