Description

Touring the Stars: Noisiel (shorted as TtS:Noisiel) is the thirteenth in a series of supplemental Sourcebooks designed to detail worlds featured in the BattleTech Universe. The book is part of a series of in-universe profiles of articles written by Professor Bertram Habeas, in his series of books collectively known as Touring the Stars.

This is a special edition to what Mr. Habeas normally writes up. The article features the Lyran world of Noisiel, home of the Noisiel Summer Games. The book gives us the early accounts of the world during the Star League Era in which would be finally settled after having been skipped during early colonization era.

The historical write up of the planet includes; Information from the world's humble beginnings as nearly forgotten colony to it's rise to notoriety as BattleMech Gaming World. This was in thanks to what began as a simple friendly-duel between father and son. Also book covers from the world's current situation during the Late Republic Era or better known as the Dark Age era.

Also included in this product are extensive game play rules to allow players to play in athletic sports while using BattleMechs. Such games include; Ruby, Soccer, Baseball, even form of Chess.
