It already has JP. It'sloaded with a lot of errata with most of it being in the timeline. As it is a free product, I'm not going to bother posting it over at the official site.

"A lot of errata"? Erf! I know of maybe three or four gaffes. How much are we calling "a lot"?

Uh, I certainly do like that AU Steiner crest. Very sexy. Also, is this really almost the exact German Bundesadler for the Rim Federation?  ;D ;D

Will take a closer look at what was written as soon as time allows.

Great AU setting, almost reminds me of a certain other fan setting.

When I read the opening fiction my first thought was that a sniper rifle isn't Bruce Gilmour's style.

True, Marauder PPC or foot would be more appropriate.

Yup! And there's a reason for that!

Hi,

I'd like to report that I have fixed ALL THE ERRORS! I'm awesome, and you all know it. Errata in the usual official place.

That said, if anyone wants to check my work, and report some (likely non-existent) further errors, I will be all ears (in that same official place).

THAT said, here's a link to the original, pre-errata version: http://www.battlecorps.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=27_35_213&products_id=3379

You're welcome, and thank you!

It's also listed on DTRPG, for those so interested.


As I noted over on the official boards, one crazy thought I had was that one could have the post-Reaving Homeworld Clans send an invasion force to the Inner Sphere... only to suffer a similarly freakish set of misjumps that land them in the EA timeline.

Imagine the Adders and others being able to (re-)populate a Kerensky Cluster free of the scars left behind in the standard timeline - building up to an eventual "first" Clan Invasion of that Inner Sphere which might go very differently to how "our" Operation REVIVAL turned out...

(But then, would the existence of the Terran Supremacy cause an identity crisis among the new arrivals? Would the "Taint" percieved to be in the "other" Inner Sphere still apply here? Indeed, could these "New" Homeworlds end up with a fresh round of scars from a civil war fought over this very issue?)

I don't know what you are talking about. The Terran government has nothing further to say on these unfounded rumors. Long live the Supremacy! ;)

This is a great book- well conceived & executed.  Thanks Herb!

A very interesting release and one that opens up the BT universe into a multi-verse. I doubt we'll see more of that notion (unless a reboot is done) but great to work with.
