Field Manual: ComStar

Description

Field Manual: ComStar describes the military arm of the quasi-mystical organization, as well as those of the Word of Blake, Star League, and Free Rasalhague Republic. The book highlights the units, training practices, style, and commanders of the Com Guard, Word of Blake Militia, Kungsarme, and Star League Defense Force (which includes the Eridani Light Horse and Clan Nova Cat). It also updates the history of these groups to 3062.

The book also contains supplemental rules that detail ComStar's Improved C3 Computer and Improved Narc Beacon, including new BattleMech variants that make use of them. In addition, the Tessen and Vanquisher debuted here. Field Manual: ComStar also saw the introduction of the Purifier Adaptive Battle Armor and the Dante-class Frigate. Roleplayers were also given additional academies to use in MechWarrior, Second Edition.
