I created this a while ago and regular readers on the CBT forum will be familiar with it. Simple put BattleTech is great, great to play, read, and create.
I created this because of 2 reasons. 1) I didn't like the Jihad and DA (a statement I've now changed but still the genesis) and 2) all the units created by players of BattleTech and myself and that I wanted to feature in a single story.
This is an expansive timeline and it wouldn't have gotten here unless it was for you the BattleTech readers/creators/players/developers. So special thanks to all and lets get started.
Early parts have canon details mixed in so stick with it through the early years it really takes off in 3060s but there are different bits back a bit too and sets scenes later.
3040
14th August
ComStar's JumpShip Spirit of the Periphery encounters the Cyclops station (formerly a Potemkin-class Troop Cruiser) in the periphery Core-ward of the Cirincus Federation. There Captain Isabelle Cain meets with Queen Jennifer Briton II the leader of the station and makes a deal to turn the station into a freeport and allow ComStar to house assets there.
3041-3049
Mostly per canon as the Inner Sphere states rebuild and the Clan Crusader movement is thwarpted by the Wardens. Until Outbound Light arrives in the Huntress system and the Invasion plans begin.
3049
22nd January 3049
Clan Nova Cat withdraw from the Invasion Trials for Operation Revival as Oathmaster Biccon Winters informs them that she has had a vision of the Nova Cat's destruction if they invade the Inner Sphere. A white mist that will destroy all the Clans if given a chance. Clan Star Adder becomes a relief Clan with Clan Steel Viper in the Trials behind Clans Wolf, Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear and Clan Smoke Jaguar.
3050
Operation Revival proceeds much as per canon with the Wolves far out ahead of the others conquering much of the Free Rasalhague Republic under Khan Ulric Kerensky and his aide Phelan Kell, a captured Bondsman.
Time and again Clan Jade Falcon fail to capture Prince Victor Steiner-Davion in the Federated Commonwealth. While the Ghost Bear Clan struggle along their joint Rasalhague and Draconis Combine border. Clan Smoke Jaguar annihalate the city of Edo on Turtle Bay following riots against their occupying force as the invasion continues.
3051
The Invasion continues until a Rasalhague fighter rams the Clan Wolf Flagship Dire Wolf killing the ilKhan, Leo Showers, and stopping the Invasion for a whole year.
During this year of peace the Succession State leaders travel to Outreach to learn about the Clans from the Wolf's Dragoons Mercenary Command which reveals itself to be former Clansmen. Also the Inner Sphere makes massive leaps forward in weapons technology creating new Mechs to combat the advanced Clan OmniMechs and new Battle Armour suits in an attempt to counter the Clan's Elemental.
During this time Myndo Waterly becomes Primus of ComStar and despite her best efforts she cannot break the Dragoon lock-out of the Outreach system. Instead she turns her attention to the Clans and the Succession States and begins her own plans.
3052
14th January 3052
First Battle of Luthien
The Clans return to the Inner Sphere with Clan Smoke Jaguar and Clan Star Adder launching a full assault on Luthien, capital of the Draconis Combine.

The Destroyer out of control enters the atmosphere and crashes into one of Luthien's Dragon's Tears Islands causing a huge fireball and explosion rendering the island uninhabitable.
This liberation proves that the Inner Sphere can work together if they are willing.
19th May 3052

Six Clans pit themselves against the whole ComGuard army on Tukayyid in a battle that lasts nearly three weeks in total. Of all the Clans only Clans Wolf and Star Adder succeed in defeating the ComStar forces against them with Clan Ghost Bear holding them to a stalemate with all other three Clans loosing and being routed from the Planet.
This victory for ComStar means the Inner Sphere has fifteen years of peace to prepare themselves for the next round of Clan Invasions. Following the battle Primus Myndo Waterly attempts to launch Operation Scorpion which is intended to kill leaders of the Inner Sphere and kill all communications brining the Inner Sphere to its knees under ComStar's rule.

I don't get what the Cyclops is supposed to do.
A deep space station (think Babylon5) made from a derilict Potempkin (i think).
Pretty much a deep space station in the Periphery beyond the Cirincus Federation. dead potemkin abandoned by SLDF when its KF was shot originally created by JA Baker on CBT forum. In this it's a bit of a way station for pirates, mercs and traders. The area is classed as a no-fire zone by its leaders. At present Queen Jennifer Briton II
At the moment it plays a small part - in the future it'll play bigger part.
I'm going to post full years here instead of three month parts on CBT - more info to digest but should be more flowing (at least I hope) pass back some feedback if you think the other way is better.

A second Ghost Bear Whirlwind and a Vincent are destroyed under Serpent guns. While David Natale confirms the end of the battle by broadcasting to Serpent from the bridge of his newly captured Flagship Shining Claw (Congress).
Following the battle and the relocation of over seven hundred Ghost Bear Civilians to a habitable planet the Star League commanders agree that the heavily damaged Ranger should return to the Inner Sphere. The rest of Serpent and their two newly captured WarShips continue onto Huntress.
The Ranger has suffered heavy damage to most decks, has no port weapons or any fighter bays. The ship is crewed by a skeleton crew and sent back to the Inner Sphere but it never arrives at Columbus Base and is not traced by the Explorer Corps.
I'll probably post the snippets as I have the CBT forum shortly and post links to this thread.

The Clan forces ignore him unable to accept surrender as that would be as much as a violation of the Trial as had Clan Stone Rhino's interferance. The Clan fleet orders the Stone Rhinos to withdraw from the planet, a message that arrives just after the two Huntress based Clans had begun their Trial. The Stone Rhinos immedately broke off fighting however the damage had been done, in the Smoke Jaguar's last volley before also holding fire Khan Thomas Perez (Stone Rhino) had been killed.

The Severn Lervoux is escorted to a hidden pirate point in the New Avalon system known to the DMI as Point Zulu to hide it from the public eye. Ross McKinnon warns them that the DMI maintains a secret base close by and that a second option exists.
Point Galahad is a second pirate point that only exists every twelve hours for thirty minutes before other objects get in the way. Star Admiral Anders McKenna, the commander of the Severn Lervoux, believes it is suicide however the pilot believes he can do it.
Three hours later the ship jumps from the Nadir point to Point Galahad completely disappearing from Federated Suns sensors.

Canin Rosse informs them that the Nova Cats have occupied the Tortuga Dominions and that the Clan does not threaten the Federated Suns stability. Instead they are willing to work with them and present the Federated Suns with a gift.
Field Marshal McCarthy mentions that with the information the Federated Suns could gain from Canin's men the Federated Suns could capture the so-called Nova Cat's Den themselves within three weeks. Canin counters this by telling the gathered Federated Suns officials that within those three weeks the Nova Cat WarShip fleet could make Turtle Bay look like a bar brawl, Rosse's savagery and anger even surprises Ross McKinnon who believed he knew the man well.
Star Colonel Canin Rosse invites Regent Yvonne Steiner-Davion aboard the Severn Lervoux so he can show her the Nova Cat gift to the Federated Suns. Yvonne takes a leap of faith, despite Jackson Davion's objection, and joins the Nova Cat Star Colonel aboard his ship the Overlord returns to orbit.

Yvonne is surprised and angry at the mention of the vessel's origin and questions if the Clans have connections to "that damned family" when Canin explains where the ship was found she calms down.

These warriors are able to fight Elementals in full armour in close combat with a chance of winning and only their disorganized nature allows the Nova Cats to overcome them. These people feature some of the most advanced implants and limbs the Nova Cats have ever seen although the extremes of the modifications sickens the Clan warriors.
As the Nova Cats close on the home of Robert Galus three Triumph-class DropShips attempt to take off and run from the planet.

Unable to move without being cut to shreds and hopelessly outgunned Duchess Yvonne Steiner-Davion as commander of the mission orders the FSS Melissa Davion, the Federated Suns first Avalon-class Cruiser to surrender without a shot fired. And the sister of Victor Steiner-Davion finds herself a prisoner of Clan Nova Cat.
5th July 3062
Duchess Yvonne Steiner-Davion's Excalibur-class DropShip is escorted to Tortuga by Nova Cat fighters. In orbit the FSS Melissa Davion is monitored by the two in system Aegis-class vessels.
On the ground Yvonne meets with Star Colonel Canin Rosse, who had been cleared by the Nova Cat Khans to talk to the Federated Suns noble woman and if nessessary claim her as a bondsman and capture her vessel. Instead of listening to Yvonne neigotiate Canin informed her clearly that Clan Nova Cat wished no war with the Federated Suns at present. They had cleared a bandit threat and were creating a home. They returned Federated Suns property in the form of the Fox's Teeth and the Thunderchild as a show they meant no hearm. The presence of Yvonne and the Melissa Davion was a direct challenge to the Nova Cats.
Ever the politian Yvonne counters by saying to Canin that she is only here to deliver a gift to the Nova Cats. Within her DropShip are twenty-four ProtoMechs of various type captured by Task Force Serpent. Inner Sphere engineers have already determined they are of no use without Clan science instead as a peace offering they are to be returned to a Clan as lost property. She also hands Canin a personal gift from Ross McKinnon to the Star Colonel - an invitation to McKinnon's wedding. Yvonne said she had promised the Fox's Teeth commander even through it was unlikely the Star Colonel could attend.
After several hours talking Yvonne trusts Canin to pursue her real reason for being on Tortuga. The Federated Suns want Clan technology. For this to happen they are willing to allow limited amounts of Nova Cat units to travel through Federated Suns space and engage AFFS units in mock combat and the Federated Suns enemies in real combat. Canin claims he cannot speak further on this and allows Yvonne some guest quarters while he consults with the Nova Cat Khans.
6th July 3062
Yvonne Steiner-Davion's escort troops engage Clan Nova Cat in training battles on Tortuga as Yvonne and Canin Rosse continue neigotiations.
Seeing Yvonne's interest in how her people are doing against their Nova Cat counterparts Canin invites her to try herself. Yvonne says she is no warrior and wouldn't know where to start. Canin claims there is noway a deal can be made if the Nova Cats do not deal with a warrior of the Federated Suns (in truth the Nova Cats are close to agreement).
Yvonne takes up his challenge and joins Canin within a Star League vintage Crockett BattleMech which still includes its training console. Although only used by the Nova Cats as an OppFor Mech it is in perfect working order.
On the field Canin gives Yvonne basic piloting lessons as well as gunnery. Although very shaky on her feet (in the Mech) and unable to control the Mech with Jump Jets Yvonne proves to be a natural shot. During the excersise a training laser targetted on the Crockett's cockpit blinds Canin temporally in the flash of the laser Canin sees a vision of a Nova Cat warrior in full knights armour fighting with the Nova Cats and brining new life to the Nova Cat family. Although Canin does not share this with Yvonne he believes it is a vision of what is to be.
Stalling Yvonne for a short time Canin consults with his Khan via HPG over what he has seen. During the night Yvonne realizes that today if it had been a real combat mission she would have killed others and if that laser had been real she could have been killed or badly injured. She seeks out Canin Rosse and the two spend the night together.
7th July 3062
Neigotiations complete Yvonne trades the ProtoMechs and her escort's OmniMechs for eight Clan OmniMechs and the Services of the Watch Cluster for one year. The Nova Cats also gain the Federated Suns agreement for two Nova Cat Aegis-class Heavy Cruisers to use Federated Suns shipyards for maintenance in exchange the ships will defend the shipyards stopping another New Syrtis attack.
Yvonne Steiner-Davion and the FSS Melissa Davion leave Tortuga, the Nova Cats will follow three months later.

The proceedings don't get off to a good start as right at the start of the main ceremony an orbital shuttle arrives on the planet escorted by two Lyran Alliance Rapier fighters. Surrounded quickly by AFFS Battle Armour security Victor is surprised to see Duke Peter Steiner-Davion, Victor's younger brother exit the craft dressed in AFFS uniform. Beside him is Duchess Isis Marik who Peter introduces as Isis Steiner, his wife.
With their new guests welcomed the ceremony continues however before the couple can say I do. A second shuttle followed by a pair of Clan Nova Cat Batu OmniFighters appear over the island landing beside Peter's shuttle.
From the shuttle comes a single officer and two Elementals in full armour. As Canin Rosse meets with the three clansmen Victor and Danai are made man and wife.
Moments after their declarations to be together for the rest of their lives Canin Rosse returns and announces that he will be leaving the Federated Suns, and his unit will be replaced by the 1st Nova Cat Guards Cluster. As Canin Rosse walks away Yvonne Steiner-Davion realizes where she belongs and following a heartfelt fairwell she leaves New Avalon with Canin Rosse, turning her back on her life for something new.

14th October 3063
Yvonne Steiner-Davion arrives at her new home New Barcella in the Nova Cat's Den. During the travel from New Avalon Yvonne had proven herself to every member of the Lucian Carn's (Anna Rosse) crew personally winning three Trials of Grievance over her presence there. (One simulated Mech dual, one a chess game and another an arm wrestle).
Yvonne is surprised looking at New Barcella from orbit and marvelled by what she sees. The planet is mostly a ball of water with no polar caps and only one massive land mass the size of two Terran Africas. The capital a sprawling city named Philip Drummond City is based on Katyusha City on Strana Mechty but without the segrigation seen on the Clan Homeworld. In the centre of the city was the Nova Cat Hall surrounded by a perfectly circular knee level hedge that covered a full square kilometre on ground. On this ground are four statues
one of Phillip Drummond, the Nova Cat founder
one of Anna Rosse, the one that brought visions to Clan Nova Cat
one of Nicholas Kerensky the founder of all the Clans
one of Aleksandr Kerensky, the Great Father.
Inside the Nova Cat Hall Yvonne is presented to Khan Santin West. Unofficially Canin introduces her as the Federated Suns ambassador to Clan Nova Cat. Officially Yvonne presents her as someone who wishes to join the Clan as a full time member.
Khan Santin West accepts Yvonne as a bondsman to the Clan until a place can be found for her. At the same time he promotes Star Colonel Canin Rosse to be his new saKhan, replacement of saKhan Karl Devalis. Canin officially takes command of Delta Galaxy with his Watch Cluster forming his command Keshik.
21st October 3063
While saKhan Canin Rosse joins Delta Galaxy on New Port Royal Khan Santin West encourages Yvonne Nova Cat to explore New Barcella providing her with an unarmed Savannah Master captured from a pirate force.
She travels around the city before travelling to the Ways of Seeing National Park to the north of the capital. This park is sacred ground to the Nova Cats and Yvonne is marvelled by its beauty. Stopping Yvonne near a large pool Yvonne takes a dip to cool down in the tropical heat of the Nova Cat Homeworld. While in the water a nova cat approaches the water for drink, the big cat for which the Clan was named looked at her in the water regarding her not as prey instead as something of interest. It watches over her as she continues to bath then allows her to leave the pool unhindered. By this time it was dark and Yvonne was lost to her vehicle. The nova cat guided her through the woods to the Savannah Master and safety.
Returning to Phillip Drummond City Yvonne relates her encounter to the Nova Cat Khan. Santin West is marvelled by the story and Yvonne's intricate detail of the event before he informs her that the nova cats on New Barcella are still held in captivity and she could not have seen a real cat.
Yvonne wonders if she has seen a vision, Khan West informs her that if she has then its meaning will play out.
12th November 3063

28th November 3063
Yvonne Nova Cat fights her Trial of Position on New Barcella. She only defeats a single warrior in combat but this is enough to secure her position within the Clan's warrior caste. Yvonne admits to Khan Santin West she is better at politics and administration than being a warrior and would give up the position if she could help the Nova Cats in other areas.
Accepting her as a MechWarrior second and an administer first Santin West assigns her to Administer the running of Phillip Drummond City stating that her running of the Federated Suns while Prince Victor was away proves she is capable of such a task. This also frees Khan West's desk of the paperwork that was accumilating for the city. Khan West further distances himself from the tasks of city governor by informing Yvonne all her requests would go through saKhan Canin Rosse, this also turns out to be a good excuse for the two to spend lots of time together when Canin is on planet.
30th November 3063
saKhan Canin Rosse returns to New Barcella to find Yvonne deeply engrossed in the paperwork Khan West had left unattended since arriving on the planet.
Attempting to help her Canin soon finds Yvonne taking charge of the office full of clerks assigned to her staff and that he either helps or goes. Canin comments "yes, wife" after something he'd heard a Federated Suns warrior say on New Avalon.
The two stop work and look at each other for long moments and although Canin Rosse knows it is nearly impossible for this to ever happen he asks Yvonne Nova Cat to marry him... she accepts. Sending the couple on a collision course with Clan traditions and history.
2nd December 3063
saKhan Canin Rosse informs Khan Santin West of his proposal to Yvonne Nova Cat. The Nova Cat Khan is shocked and more than a little angry at the saKhan's plan and wonders if his time spent in the Federated Suns has brung destruction to the Nova Cats.
Canin refuses to abandon Yvonne and refuses to abandon his Clan and position. Santin West sees the conviction in the man and the willingness to see this to the end. The two leaders dress up the proposal in a fabricated vision to suit their purposes, knowing the general Nova Cat population and most warriors would completely support such a claim and that this would allow the Nova Cats and Federated Suns to stay linked through Yvonne.

Yvonne Nova Cat?

Yvonne Nova Cat?
When you're accepted into a Clan you take the Clan name as your surname. Phelan became Phelan Wolf, etc. If Yvonne was ever eligible for a Bloodname it's possible she'd lose the Nova Cat, but unlikely unless a new Bloodhouse is created.

Pretty much, her family status doesn't mean much to the Nova Cats despite the Khan's cover up of her relationship with Canin

I'm not sure if a Nova Cat Khan has ever used a vision or 'seen' a vision for a specific situation but it worked when writing it

The Information I present comes directly from the information vaults on Terra and Tukayyid. Captain-General Thomas Marik is a fake. The man the Inner Sphere knows as Thomas Marik is not the same man who joined ComStar. The bomb blast that our Captain-General claims he was disfigured by killed the real Thomas Marik at the same time as it killed his father and brother, ComStar used it to place one of their ROM Agents at the head of a Succession State. Files attached to this document show that these two men are two different individuals. Unfortunately for ComStar the man they turned into Thomas Marik refused to be their puppet and instead served the Free Worlds League loyally. Despite this loyalty he is not a member of the ruling family of House Marik and his continued support of the Word of Blake will bring the Free Worlds League’s people to ruin. People of the Inner Sphere, people of the Free Worlds League I plead with you renounce this man and bring ComStar’s and the Word of Blake’s influence over the Succession Lords to an end.

Unlike the Wolves, Jade Falcons and most recently Ghost Bears who have all crossed the Truce line.
Khan Brett Andrews (Steel Vipers) intent on beating Galaxy Commander Timur Malthus declares a Trial of Refusal against the Nova Cat Khan. Khan West and Brett Andrews immediately attacks him despite Loremaster Kael Pershaw's call for order.
Khan West defeats Brett Andrews his superior Elemental training cutting down the MechWarrior with a series of coordinated heavy blows showing compassion he refuses to kill the Steel Viper Khan. Unfortunately for Santin West Khan Riana Montrose (Ice Hellion), her own Clan in trouble trying to reach the Inner Sphere, attacks the Nova Cat Khan.
Although barely touched by Andrews Khan West was no match for the younger Montrose and soon the Nova Cat Khan was dead on the floor of the Great Hall. Several Clans called for the abjurment of the Nova Cats however Clan Diamond Shark, Snow Raven, Ghost Bear, Cloud Cobra and Goliath Scorpions closed ranks and voted against action on the Nova Cats.

4th February 3068
Aware of the previous attacks on Nova Cat shipping saKhan Canin Rosse arrives in the Bearclaw system with the WarShips Lucian Carns (Anna Rosse), Vision Quest (Aegis) and Far Vision (Vincent) all ready for a fight.
Approaching them are the Jade Falcon vessels Turkina's Pride (Cameron), Gauntlet (Liberator) and White Aerie (Black Lion) surprisingly the Jade Falcons offer the Nova Cats Zellbrigen which the Nova Cats agree to. In the following battle the Turkina's Pride is destroyed, Gauntlet is boarded and captured by Nova Cat Elementals and the White Aerie is forced to retreat. All three Nova Cat WarShips are heavily damaged with the Far Vision abandoned shortly after the battle.
Canin Rosse with the Lucian Carns and his Watch Cluster continues onto Strana Mechty while the Vision Quest escorts the Gauntlet to Barcella along with the saKhan's Delta Galaxy.
17th February 3068
saKhan Canin Rosse calls for a Grand Council almost before he sets foot on Strana Mechty. At the council he calls into question the honour of the assembled Khans risking a Circle of Equals as he critizises the assembled Khans for allowing a Khan to be killed on the floor of the Grand Council, for allowing their WarShip fleets to attack Nova Cat vessels outside Trials like packs of dogs.
saKhan Rosse calls for a representive of Clan Steel Viper to answer for their actions against Clan Nova Cat. As Khan Brett Andrews is still recovering from wounds sustained fighting Santin West Canin calls out saKhan Nicole Hoskins. The Steel Vipers refuse to fight achknowledging they were wrong in the face of all the Clans and offer the Nova Cats a Ransom of the Nova Cat Clan's choosing.
Canin Rosse demands two WarShips the Constrictor (Whirlwind) and Steel Python (Aegis) repaying the Nova Cats for their losses. The Steel Vipers refuse initially however Canin Rosse counters with simple words "you give us both vessels or I'll kill both your Khans today." The Steel Vipers seeing the anger in the Nova Cat saKhan's face agree to terms and promise to deliver the vessels.
The Nova Cat saKhan then turns on Galaxy Commander Timur Malthus challengine his right to even be within the room before challenging a Circle of Equals pointing out that the WarShip force that welcomed the Nova Cat Delta Galaxy would not have been in position unless ordered to intercept and kill Canin Rosse.
Khan Vlad Ward supports Canin Rosse's arguement. Malthus initially tries to worm his way out of the fight however Canin Rosse makes a simple threat "The Nova Cats have five WarShips, Four Galaxies of Troops and nothing to lose - try us" around the chamber the Khans realize that Canin Rosse isn't just acting like an angered saKhan he is acting like a Khan approval of his Clan or not.
Again Loremaster Kael Pershaw is powerless as Timur Malthus engages in hand-to-hand combat with the younger Canin Rosse. The battle is almost over before it begins and the Jade Falcon lies dead at Canin's feet.
Before the dust has settled over the fight Canin turns on Riana Montrose but before he can issue a challenge Khan Vlad Ward steps in informing the Nova Cat saKhan he cannot defeat everyone in a fight in one day and that it would be best for the Nova Cats for Canin to cease his behaviour. Riana Montrose informs Canin Rosse he does not have to issue a Circle that she realizes her dishonour and will step down as Khan of Ice Hellion for her own dishonour.
18th February 3068
Khan Vlad Ward calls for a vote of no-confidence in Loremaster Kael Pershaw for time and again failing to control the Grand Council. Following a vote Clan's Diamond Shark, Wolf, Nova Cat, Steel Viper, Coyote, Ghost Bear, Snow Raven, Ice Hellion, Goliath Scorpion and Cloud Cobra all support the motion.
An hour later Star Adder Loremaster Dagmar Lahiri is elevated to the post of Grand Council Loremaster.
By the end of the day Canin Rosse is confirmed as the new Nova Cat Khan. He promotes Galaxy Commander Jal Steiner to the post of saKhan ending the Day of Turmoil on Strana Mechty.

After a cat and mouse duel the Alexander Davion is rapidly being herded by the three attacking vessels when the SLS Unity City dedicated to the protection of the First Lord and escorted by the remains of the Royal Black Watch aerospace wing charges the enemy formation.

Intercepting the Unity City's call for help the Dragoons had answered the call.
The enemy Naga and remaining Essex turn on the Dragoon vessels concentrating on the Darius they are able to do enough damage to force the inexperianced Dragoons to abandon ship however this leaves them in perfect position for the Dragoons remaining vessel Nelson to dispatch both remaining enemy vessels and offer assistance to the Alexander Davion.

With all these World Changes it would be very helpfull to have a map.
And is these Trinity Moons World your own idea or is it on any canon map?
Originally the Trinity Moons idea came from a non-canon design on the CBT forums (I can't remember who created). I'll post the design later and hopefully it will explain the Trinity Moons more clearly.
A map will be available in 3081 courtesy of Blacknova which will detail exactly how this AU Inner Sphere looks like.

A question that has always bugged me, yet one which I never asked:
Why is this called An Alternate Timeline With Thanks?
Because I didn't set everything in this up when I first wrote the timeline and as it continues I've borrowed from the works of others BergStorm, JABaker and others used their designs and ideas I've also used things from Canon to bring the timeline into something better
I've even been tempted by your Splendid idea Blacknova.
So my thanks are to everyone who has ever pitched an idea into BattleTech Canon or non-Canon
And may it continue.

The Splendid is yours.

Many thanks

I'm in a bit of an old school mood - this was what my timeline once was on the forums. The "FULL" timeline has sort of taken over a bit but I know that some prefer this version so I thought I'd try and update it to 3091. I'll hopefully update this and finish 3091 in the "FULL" version by the end of the weekend. Going ahead I'll also try to keep this thread upto date if there's interest in it.
NOTE: I also noticed an error in the WarShip list of the SLDF - they bought 3 ships in 3088 which I didn't have on my list so I've added them (the crews were on extended training).
