Description
Handbook: House Marik is the definitive book on the Free Worlds League, having incorporated all previously written materials on the Successor State. This volume contains a detailed history of the League and House Marik up to 3067, brief histories of some of the League's more important planets, and an explanation of how its Parliamentary form of government works. The book glosses over the Free Worlds League Military and SAFE, since those organizations were detailed at length in Field Manual: Free Worlds League and A Guide to Covert Ops, respectively. The source information wraps up with an analysis of the many cultures of the FWL and what drives its economy, including a detailed list of the League's most important companies. The book ends with additional rules to be incorporated into Classic BattleTech and CBT:RPG games. These include expanded sub-regions, skills, and new life paths for roleplayers, and new environments and unit types for war gamers.
