==Description==
 
==Description==
The appropriately named '''''FedCom Civil War''''' details the largest conflict to engulf the [[Inner Sphere]] in over a decade: the [[Federated Commonwealth Civil War]]. The book begins with a short story, an introduction, and then a historical synopsis that traces the history of the [[Federated Commonwealth]]; from its beginnings in the FedCom Accords signed by [[Katrina Steiner]] and [[Hanse Davion]], to the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]] by [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]], up to the outbreak of war in December [[3062]].

The appropriately named '''''FedCom Civil War''''' details the largest conflict to engulf the [[Inner Sphere]] in over a decade: the [[Federated Commonwealth Civil War]]. The book begins with a short story, an introduction, and then a historical synopsis that traces the history of the [[Federated Commonwealth]]; from its beginnings in the Fed-Com Accords signed by [[Katrina Steiner]] and [[Hanse Davion]], to the secession of the [[Lyran Alliance]] by [[Katherine Steiner-Davion]], up to the outbreak of war in December [[3062]].
  
The meat of the book is in its descriptions of the battles that involved line units. It breaks the conflict up into chronological "waves", though the invasion by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] is set off by itself. It then follows the battles for each world during the war, including those that were in the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Jade Falcon Occupation Zone]]. The source information ends with tables detailing each line unit's move throughout each wave and an atlas that provides planetary data for some of the worlds involved in the conflict. Finally, ''FedCom Civil War'' provides limited rules structure for those who wish to run games during this period.
