==Description==
 
'''Mercenaries Supplemental Update''' continues the ''Field Manual'' series of sourcebooks detailing [[mercenary unit]]s, bringing the remaining major mercenary commands into the opening years of the [[Jihad]]. Along with brand-new units, the title also provides the status of the [[Inner Sphere]]'s various [[Hiring Hall]]s, rules for running units during this specific period and some new battlefield units.
 
  
==From the back cover==
 
{{quote|''The Edge of Extinction
 
  
''In October [[3067]], a war begun that unleashed the horrors upon the Great Houses, atrocities thought abandoned with the [[First Succession War]]. And for the [[mercenaries]] of the [[Inner Sphere]], this war has far-reaching consequences. With the heart and soul of the mercenary trade annihilated on [[Outreach]], the reliability of every mercenary command is called into question. Some Houses now consider their most stalwart work-for-hire commands as enemies, and mercenaries, from the elite to the dregs, are fighting for their lives... and more importantly, their reputations.''

==Notes==
One notable difference in this book from the previous ''[[Mercenaries Supplemental|Supplemental]]'' and Field Manuals is that the unit briefs do not include a detailed breakdown on the sub-units of the forces presented. Instead, the written history of the unit may be longer.
