Requiem for a Blue Star was the 2019 Worldwide Event for BattleTech. Though the event was developed and run under the auspices of the Catalyst Demo Team, the scenarios and custom maps (MapPack: WWE2018 Terrain Set) were subsequently offered as free downloads in PDF format by Catalyst Game Labs via their webstore.
The event depicts two mercenary companies in the late Dark Age Era racing to the recently disclosed unknown world of Buffalo Meadows located in the Draconis Reach. This world harbors the remains of the SLDF's 295th BattleMech Division. This discloser of a source of vintage SLDF Mechs, would cause race to recover these Mechs for use in struggles in the Inner Sphere.
Canonicity
Being published directly via CGL (and given a CGL product code) marks the Requiem for a Blue Starscenario booklet fully canonical.
Scenarios
The file includes one classic BattleTech (boardgame) scenario ("Finders Keepers") and one Alpha Strike scenario ("Getting to the Dropper").
Publisher's Description
From the CGL webstore:
| “ | After 200 years of being lost to the Inner Sphere the remains of 295th BattleMech Division was discovered in 3021. The fate of a lost Star League division could be penciled in. But for ComStar, this was not welcome news. The division was only a few jumps beyond the Inner Sphere, too far to bring the equipment back covertly, but close enough to the Lyran Commonwealth and especially the Draconis Combine to be a potential source for them. So ComStar hid them, and for 130 years the secret remained just that. .
But people talk and secrets leak. Requiem for a Blue Star was the 2019 BattleTech World Wide Event depicting the clash between Bartlett's Boxers and La Grande Armée. This PDF-only product includes the Total Warfare and Alpha Strike scenarios as well as the final results of the event. |
