He said there would be an Era Report (I'm guessing like 3052 & 3062) and a Field Manual. They're apparently not kidding about expanding the Star League era.
  Yeah, my response to that was so high-pitched it started dogs barking two blocks away.  ;D  Just knowing that Liberation of Terra was coming so soon was borderline evilgasm territory for me; to know it's going to have that degree of support-products... well, as a long-standing Culture Vulture, I'm nigh-slobbering over it already.  :D

From what I understand, they're spending an inordinate amount of time on getting this right. So many people for so long have looked on the SL era in hushed awe, it'd be a proper shame to mess it up. Heck, most of us treat anything Star League just like the rest of the Inner Sphere. It's almost sacred. The fact that it'll receive some serious attention outside of story fiction, i.e. FM, is fantastic. Get those spreadsheets ready boys, we might get a sweet look at some concrete manufacturing sites.

2012 is going to be a banner year. I Don't know what I'll cry more for, Liberation Terra or my Wedding...

I'm hoping the FM will be from right before the start of the Civil War, it'd be good to get a look at all the militaries of the 2700's.

Buried in the Chat was that there may also be a TRO for the SL- that could be really interesting- maybe we would get some warships to go with new mechs and tanks.

Yeah, hopefully whilst set in the Star League era it won't just cover SLDF equipment, it'd be good to get a look at the stuff being built and used by the periphery and houses.

If anyone has a Battlecorps account there's a preview of FM:3085 up today, its the map of the former FWL showing regimental deployments.

Looking at the FWL map on battlecorps there seems to be a good number of mercenary commands active in the fallen leagues space.

Interesting Six. Given the regional chaos though it makes sense.

I'm also interested in the Marik Protectors (if I'm remembering that correctly, I looked at it last night and don't have access to it right now) and what would cause seemingly independent forces to all utilize a standard nomenclature, maybe it's an RAF designation for organization purposes or something of the sort for the remaining independent former FWL Federal forces.... One of a million questions I'm looking forward to answers for (and more questions!)

I was wondering about those 6 regiments as well, as you say it seems odd they would all choose the same name.

Regarding the Marik Protectors: Perhaps these are idealist/loyalist members of the FWLM that didn't switch their allegation to a major province and instead banded together to form units that defend the Unaligned Worlds.

Just my two € cents though.
