I'm doing a Mechwarrior campaign set in the Outworlds Wastes. Currently the players are on the planet Tanz, which I had chosen because it was left as a blank slate (so far). But other than Wynn's Roost and a bit on the Traders Domain, is there any more information on the Outworlds Wastes?

I see there is no article on the "Green Ghosts". I do know there isn't much information on them, and that indeed they are "cannon rumor" I think they call it. Does anybody have enough knowledge on them to prepare an article?

1.) They said Ilkhan Showers died in the novels prior to Tukayyid.  But just got a copy, thank you, of the DES sourcebook and it sounds like his death was not only after Tukayyid, but just before Smoke Jaguars home world was destroyed.  The sourcebook lists he was killed by a damaged aerofighter taking Isorla...

::: I know, right.  Not the only one who double checked that, or the listing where Jaime Wolf committed suicide with a pistol on Pentagon and also died in his bed on Outreach.  There was two different dates as well for the WOB invasion on Outreach.  I've read Novels where Jaime Wolf lived until Victor stepped foot on Pentagon.

No one has said anything about the unit that went from NAIS to Helm just after GDL left.  I know they were sent, they talked about how NAIS (Which at the time was NASTI-U) How professors in technology got dissertations in Star League tech.  Which became a stepping stone for NAIS to be able to offer Powered Armor, even advanced sciences by 3050.

::: Was I the only one who did that.  I know it was talked about in some cons.  With 3 different companies owning the francize it is getting hard to keep track of the changes.  Weapons changed, modifications changed.  Rules changed.  LAM couldn't be Endo and XL, now they can.  There is two different dates for introduction (Spheroid) for the Light PPPC.  Some say 3067... some say 2660...

Welcome to the Research Desk. If you have questions about how to accomplish something on BattleTechWiki or have a problem that needs to be solved by an administrator, please consider posting to the Admin's Page. If you have a research question, such as:

  • "What was the name of that one non-Marik that became Captain-General in the war against the Sarna Supremacy?"
  • "Who owns the BattleTech intellectual property?"
  • "What year and where did the Longbow 'Mech first get made?"

...this is the place for you. While the answer may not be quick, our researchers should be able to provide you with the information you need, get you in touch with someone outside the University, or, ideally, a link straight to the relevant article here on the site.

Post your question under the break (newest at the top). Please be specific and remember to sign your request (by adding ~~~~ at the end).
