Catalyst Game Labs, the current owners of BattleTech, have divided history into six eras. The products they released are grouped in this manner. Recently newer products have included other distinct time periods which brings the classification up to eleven eras:
Era | Years | Description | Symbol[1] |
---|---|---|---|
Pre-Spaceflight | Up to 1950 | Earliest referred to era, where humanity resides only on its planet of origin Terra. | |
Early Spaceflight | 1950 – 2108 | The time of the Western Alliance, early Terran Alliance and earliest interstellar colonies. | |
First Exodus | 2108 – 2242 | The Terran Alliance era. Outer Reaches Rebellion results in Demarcation Declaration | |
Second Exodus | 2242 – 2398 | Marginal colonies no longer supported, colonists resettle. The Terran Alliance collapses, the beginnings of the Terran Hegemony and the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere. | |
Age of War | 2398 – 2569[2] | The time of the Terran Hegemony, and "civilized" warfare between the Inner Sphere houses. The first BattleMech is created during this era. | |
Reunification War | 2570 – 2597[2] | The Star League is formed at this time and wars to bring the Rim Worlds Republic, Taurian Concordat and other Periphery states into the Star League occur. | |
Star League | 2598 - 2784 | The time when the Star League reached the height of its power and was destroyed by the Amaris Coup. | |
Succession Wars | 2785 – 3049 | When the Succession Wars raged between the Great Houses and many of the advances of the Star League disappeared as LosTech. | |
Clan Invasion | 3050 – 3061 | The time between the beginning of the Clan Invasion and the Inner Sphere's victory at the Great Refusal. | |
Civil War | 3062 – 3066 | The years in the shadow of the Federated Commonwealth Civil War. | |
Jihad | 3067 – 3081 | The time when the Word of Blake unleashed its Jihad. | |
Dark Age | 3082 – | The time since the defeat of the Blakists and the creation of The Republic of the Sphere[3]. This era includes events since 3132, when WizKids relaunched the BattleTech line as MechWarrior: Dark Age. |
