Memory Core

Memory Cores are data stores used by the Star League and the Clans. Discovery of such cores have been the biggest means of overcoming the LosTech of the Succession Wars era.

Overview

Star League era Memory Cores are generally frustratingly incomplete fragments derived from the mammoth Terran Hegemony-based Prometheus Database maintained by Prometheus Inc., thought destroyed by Stefan Amaris' troops during the Amaris Civil War, but still are dramatically important in an Inner Sphere bereft of knowledge.
