==Description==
'''''Technical Readout: 3075''''' contains stats for units of all types broken down into two sections. The first sections details weapons of war that were created during the first half of the [[Jihad]], while the second section describes those that first rolled off the production line during the [[Age of War]]. In addition to making use of the weapons first seen in ''[[Total Warfare]]'', TRO:3075 also contains some units that use non–tournament legal equipment found in ''[[Tactical Operations]]''.

{{quote|''In November [[3067]] the [[Second Star League]] disbanded. The [[Word of Blake]]&mdash;a splinter group of [[ComStar]]&mdash;had been on the verge of joining in fulfillment of ancient prophecies. Denied their dream, the Blakists sought to preserve the Star League against the follies of the Houses, but its fanaticism manifested this noble goal as the [[Jihad]]: a horrific war that has pitted every faction against each other and even themselves. Against such an anvil, new cutting edge machines of war are marched into the fire. The discovery of an ancient [[Hegemony Memory Core]] graphically showcases the desperation of the conflict, as primitive [['Mech]]s not seen on a battlefield since the dawn of 'Mech production over half a millennia ago once again appear.''
