"Need some storybased infos"
|
Hey there, fellow Battletech fans 
I hope this subforum is ok for my questions. I'm currently building a campaign for mechcommander 2. I've thrown together a very rough story line, and in order to continue I would like to get some basic story and universe information. Of course I could make things up, but that's not my style, and it wouldn't make me so much fun anymore
So, here is what I have planned.
Timeline at the beginning is set around 1 year before the clan invasion of the inner sphere began. Pls confirm me the date when the invasion started, thanks.
It all starts with a small (maybe new) mercenary force. They own just a couple of mechs and a dropship. What they really own is unimportant, because they loose pretty much everything at the beginning, except their dropship, 3 light mechs and a handfull of personal. But if they would be a small company, it's more likely that they get nearly wiped out. Smile If there is no suitable company available, I guess I have to make one up, but I rather use a known one
They are currently under contract on a world on House Liao, when they are suddenly being attack by their moneygiver (maybe due to an order of Sun Tsu Liao's mad sister, what's her name again ? )
After they escaped, I will have a few missions following against pirates, defectives and blakes sword (the defecting com star guys, it was blakes sword, isn't it ? ), just to enable the player to rebuild it's forces.
The later plan is, that this mercenary group will join prince victor in it's campaign against the smoked jaguar clan, maybe some missions on port arthur, then Diana, and maybe even on Strana Metchy. The story is not set yet in that later state.
So, the course is clear, I just need these infos to create a story around that.
I would really appreciate if someone could fill these knowledge holes for me
Thanks in advance
Best regards
Starman

try sarna.net. all sorts of info and with better authority than I can muster. someone on there will actually remember and have references for this stuff.

BT history is littered with mostly dead merc units, it's a common device for BT fiction. known ones tend to have survived and expand into regiments and whatnot. You're probably better off writing your own since the best known ones are probably copyright, oooh, whoever owns the BT fiction IP these days.
They are currently under contract on a world on House Liao, when they are suddenly being attack by their moneygiver (maybe due to an order of Sun Tsu Liao's mad sister, what's her name again ? )
kali. seems unlikely. major houses are unlikely to screw small time bonded merc units. they can of course, but why bother? much easier to screw them when writing the employment contract.
After they escaped, I will have a few missions following against pirates, defectives and blakes sword
word of blake (more religious than military, sorta)
as opposed to comguard and comstar. a sword is WoB's symbol however
defectives? sounds vaguely freebirth/solahma.
The later plan is, that this mercenary group will join prince victor in it's campaign against the smoked jaguar clan, maybe some missions on port arthur, then Diana, and maybe even on Strana Metchy. The story is not set yet in that later state.
kinda reminds me of black thorns. _Main Event_ _DRT_. they start post invasion though.
