The fourth book in the Field Manual series, '''''Field Manual: Crusader Clans''''' details the ''[[touman]]s'' and notable personalities of the seven crusader [[Clans]], [[Clan Blood Spirit|Blood Spirit]], [[Clan Fire Mandrill|Fire Mandrill]], [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]], [[Clan Ice Hellion|Ice Hellion]], [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcon]], [[Clan Star Adder|Star Adder]], and [[Clan Wolf]]. In addition, the history of many of these Clans are detailed for the first time (the Falcons and Wolves did not get the full treatment, since they already had their own sourcebooks).

The rigidity of the Clan social structure does not permit much flexibility, so there are no new RPG rules for characters, but there are plenty for [[BattleTech]]. ''FM:CC'' saw two new types of battle armor, ''[[Gnome]]'' and ''[[Salamander (Battle Armor)|Salamander]]'', as well as a new class of laser; the heavy laser (which comes in [[Heavy Small Laser|small]], [[Heavy Medium Laser|medium]], and [[Heavy Large Laser|large]]). To mount these weapons, ''FM:CC'' also introduced three new [['Mech]]s, the ''[[Blood Kite]]'', ''[[Hellfire]]'', and ''[[Hellion]]''.

''Now is the time of the Return. Some among the [[Clans]] oppose the [[Crusader Clans|Crusaders]]' campaign of conquest, but we know that true enlightenment can only come to the misguided rabble of the [[Successor States]] through total subjugation. We will crush their honorless armies with our [[OmniMech]]s and plant the flag of the Clans on sacred [[Terra]]. Only then will the true Star League have returned to the Inner Sphere.''
