The book's content is mostly taken verbatim from [[Technical Readout]] products that preceded it. The book is part of reorganization of the original Technical Readouts to compile them per Era. Some Mechs are not present in this book that were mentioned in early products. Unlike the first book in this series, this book does not include additional/new variants not published before.

''On 27 September [[3048]], the [[ComStar]] [[Explorer Corps (ComStar)|Explorer Corps]] JumpShip [[Outbound Light]] stumbled onto the Clan Homeworlds, setting in motion a massive invasion of the Inner Sphere by the Clans. At first sweeping all before them with their advanced technologies, the Clans met defeat at the Battle of [[Tukayyid]] and were stymied by a 15-year truce. With the clock ticking, the Inner Sphere's elite took the battle directly to the Clan Homeworlds. There, the destruction of Clan [[Smoke Jaguar]] and the defeat of the Clans in the [[Great Refusal]] ended the invasion.

==Notes==
 
* As of this writing it isn't clear if these books are replacing original version Technical Readouts and how other units such as Combat Vehicles, Aerospace Units, ProtoMechs, and Battle Armor / Infantry will be published.
 
* The ''Bushwacker'' entry has BSW-S2 as the page header but the stats are for the BSW-X1.
 
* The ''Cerberus'' entry has MR-5M as the page header but the stats are for the MR-V2.
