Master Unit List

The Master Unit List (MUL) is a project by Catalyst Game Labs, in cooperation with a staff of volunteers known since as the MUL-Team, that essentially comprises a database of all BattleTech units of any kind ever mentioned in a (canonical) source.

According to a blog by Joel Bancroft-Connors, the project started as an attempt to assign Battle Value 2.0 values to all existing BattleMech desings. The project's scope was expanded to be a master list of existant units, include an update to the (hitherto inofficial) faction list, add introduction dates and collate production data.

On 14 January 2010, a Beta version of the Master Name List (v1.66) was released to the public for factchecking purposes. Numerous issues were raised and v1.66 remains an unofficial pre-release, i.e. non-canonical.

On 23 March 2011, the Master Unit List: Battle Value was officially released as a free document through the BattleCorps' BattleShop site, presenting a list of (only) those ground units for which official record sheets exist with Battle Value (2.0), Jihad era and Dark Age era availablility. It is understood that this is only a fraction of the MUL's entire content and that further releases will provide additional MUL data.
