Description
Technical Readout: 3039 is the latest book to provide technical data for units before the recovery of LosTech and the technological renaissance that accompanied such events as the recovery of the Gray Death Memory Core and the Clan Invasion. This mammoth tome comes from the perspective of the 3070s looking back on the beginning of the War of 3039 and includes the Unseen BattleMechs, combat vehicles, aerospace fighters, conventional fighters, and Star League BattleMechs downgrades.
From the back cover
“ | In 2781 the Star League was officially abandoned, ending a two hundred year-long Golden Age. In 2785 the Successor Lords launched a series of massive conflicts that would rage for centuries and become known as The Succession Wars. Such endless warfare has taken its toll and by the Fourth Succession War of 3028, the technology employed on the battlefields is a mere shadow of the height of the Star League. However, the discovery of the Helm Memory Core is beginning to unlock such sought-after secrets, with new BattleMechs and experimental technologies starting to make a debut for the first time in centuries.
Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3039 is the perfect "first Technical Readout" companion to the Classic BattleTech Introductory Box Set. Combining the ’Mechs, vehicles and aerospace fighters previously found in Technical Readout: 3025 Revised and Technical Readout: 3026 Revised, this volume features some of the most common units of the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, along with their most famous pilots. |

Published by licensee Ulisses Spiele Hardware Handbuch 3039 is the German edition of Technical Readout 3039 (TRO:3039). Unlike previous TRO's, this edition matches the original edition in all aspects. The hyphen that was sometimes used in older German TRO-titles (e.g. Hardware-Handbuch 3031) was completely left out in this. The German version is printed as DIN A4, a standard European paper size, which is a little larger then north american Letter.
Spelling and Names
As with other German products names of organizations have been translated, the respective abbreviations changed as well. Some times names of places are translated or its German spelling is corrected. For instance the DCMS (Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery) became VSDK (Vereinigte Streitkräfte des Draconis Kombinats), the Planet Gotterdammerung was respelled to Götterdämmerung and so on. The practice of translating unit names to German had been ceised in 1997 altogether.
Notes
- TRO:3039 is essentially the replacement for TRO:3025/TRO:3025 Revised, and TRO:3026 due to changes made over the decades since these books were printed. The book uses most of the artwork previously used in the retired books it replaces.
- The Transgressor and Slayer heavy aerospace fighters are erroneously listed in medium weight section.
