Did you by any chance write the Burrock history that is on Solaris 7?

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

I have both of my projects posted on Solaris7.  I think you may have found the history Hawk made.

EDIT:

Yeah, when you do a search for Burrock you get the alternate history written by hawk.  When I started my project he showed me his as kind of a point of reference.  At the time I beleive I was trying to get information on the Burrocks so I can make my fanon handbook.  It's very well written and worth checking out, trust me.

The book I posted here is focused on covering Clan Burrock up until they were absorbed by Clan Star Adder.  It is as faithful to canon as I can possibly be with a few things I came up with to fluff out the Burrocks in order to make them unique.  Yeah, there's a custom Omni in it, but it is purely optional.

Then, I have this for post-absorption:

http://www.solaris7.com/Fiction/FictionInfo.asp?ID=853

It's basically a Dark Caste conspiracy.  I'm actually not to fond of it anymore...  however I'm going to go the extra mile and make the "Dark Caste Handbook" which will have details on various Dark Caste pirate bands in different areas of Clan Space.  Something like those who disbanded from Clan Burrock, the survivors and rebels from Kindraa Smythe-Jewel...  much more interesting.

One more update and I feel like it is pretty a pretty good one.

- More on Herve and Nigel's history against Kerensky
- Added an entry on the Tanite worlds
- Re-write of each Galaxy to incorporate them better with the fluff in the supplement
- Totem Battle Armor (it has an industrial drill, I know it's useless, but hey it should look cool)
- Fix here and there

Enjoy!

Also, I'm considering a bonus Galaxy...  something that is one with the Dark Caste.  Basically you'll have the command which happens to be the Burrocks who disbanded into the Dark Caste plus 3 or 4 clusters who are up to no good.  It would basically look into the info that Clan Star Adder dug up.

Would you have Hawks contact details as we have tried to get in contact with him through solaris 7 but had no luck?

No idea actually.  Last time I talked to him was before the boards went down.

FF, you'll have to let us know when you read the WoR book. There's a two page section in there on the Dark (and the Bandit Caste, and what the actual difference is between the two). There were a few surprises in there, regarding equipment and resources.

OK, so I have read through WoR...  and let me say this.  A lot of my assumptions about Clan Burrock were spot-on.

However there is nothing I have to change in this resource.

With that said, A HUGE update!  New BattleMechs, a new Tank, updated history, updated unit logos and renamed a lot of units to go with a scenario from BattleCorps, and much more.

Get it here.

Also, all related MegaMek files and images here.

Updated the links on the first post, among other things.

I'm pretty happy with the new Xi Galaxy writeup.  It's what I always thought Clan Burrock accomplished under the surface.  Xi is basically a Galaxy (6 Clusters made up of Binaries instead of Trinaries), spread among Clan space, raiding and slowly increasing in size.  When Clan Burrock was absorbed, Xi split up, then they reconnected after the Adders sent the former Burrocks to watch the Tanite Worlds.  It basically sets up for the resurrection of Clan Burrock described in Wars of Reaving.

All that's left for this project is to clean it up and make it look like a book.  I'm not a good writer but I gave it an honest try.  We'll see how the year goes.

For those interested, thanks.  It may not be the best project out there but I have fun doing it.
