==About Me==
 
==About Me==
I came to Battletech some time in the early 1990's after playing the MechWarrior 2 computer game and I have just kinda floated about the community since.
+
I am not sure what came first for me, [[MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat]] Video Game or the [[BattleTech: The Animated Series]], at this point I had no idea how important this universe I had just stumbled across would become. [[MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries]] came next and then a gap for a couple of years and then I found [[Technical Readout: 3050 Revised]] in my local comic shop (circa '98). At this point I realized that this universe was a tabletop game for the first time!
  
 +
I found sourcing BattleTech books in the UK a slow and expensive process using my local (not very friendly) comic shop, it was about a decade before I discovered that said comic shop was situated five minutes walk from [[Ral Partha]]s european headquarters. [[MechCommander 2]] and [[MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries]] kept the torch burning until [[MechWarrior: Dark Age]] came out in 2002 and for the first time ever getting physical product became easy.
  
When I originally arrived at BTW I wanted a list of all cannon regiments in the history of the [[BattleTech]] universe... That is a rather tall order I admit, since BTW did not have much at the time I decided to help (or hinder but the jury is out on that one).
+
I have been working on Sarna since Feb 2007, I was promoted to Admin in November 2019 having contributed about 30,000 edits to the wiki at the time. I backed the [[BattleTech (Video Game)|2018 Video Game]] (no. 23,284), the [[2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign]] (no. 2,863) and Mercenaries (no. 24,871).
  
 +
After accusing Catalyst Game Labs of mismanaging the IP in the wake of the collapse of [[BattleCorps]] in 2016 and release of the extremely shoddy [[Technical Readout: Succession Wars]] in 2017, I am incredibly happy to see that by 2019 CGL had not only reversed direction but with help from HBS and PGI had triggered what would become known as the "BattleTech Renaissance".

About Me

I am not sure what came first for me, MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat Video Game or the BattleTech: The Animated Series, at this point I had no idea how important this universe I had just stumbled across would become. MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries came next and then a gap for a couple of years and then I found Technical Readout: 3050 Revised in my local comic shop (circa '98). At this point I realized that this universe was a tabletop game for the first time!

I found sourcing BattleTech books in the UK a slow and expensive process using my local (not very friendly) comic shop, it was about a decade before I discovered that said comic shop was situated five minutes walk from Ral Parthas european headquarters. MechCommander 2 and MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries kept the torch burning until MechWarrior: Dark Age came out in 2002 and for the first time ever getting physical product became easy.

I have been working on Sarna since Feb 2007, I was promoted to Admin in November 2019 having contributed about 30,000 edits to the wiki at the time. I backed the 2018 Video Game (no. 23,284), the 2019 Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign (no. 2,863) and Mercenaries (no. 24,871).

After accusing Catalyst Game Labs of mismanaging the IP in the wake of the collapse of BattleCorps in 2016 and release of the extremely shoddy Technical Readout: Succession Wars in 2017, I am incredibly happy to see that by 2019 CGL had not only reversed direction but with help from HBS and PGI had triggered what would become known as the "BattleTech Renaissance".

Let the good times roll.

Lifted from Volts page since he deleted everything.

  • PDF Maps made with Excel scatter chart and Rob Bovey's XY Chart Labeler Add-in, showing all identified systems as of February 2022. Maps are borderless so people can use them for whatever suits their fancy (would appreciate a shout-out to the SUCS in any case). Systems names use the SUCK convention (system names, including alternate names or name changes plus the year, instead of the more popular or Official Map names)
