''Between the collapse of the [[Terran Alliance]], and the rise of the [[Star League|First Star League]], humankind was scattered among the worlds of the [[Inner Sphere]]. Driven by their own ambitions and united by fear of their neighbors, mighty star empires rose up from the ashes of abandoned colonies, absorbing the remains of mankind’s interstellar exodus, and gave rise to the noble Houses of the Inner Sphere.'' ''Driven by greed, fear, and dreams of glory, these Houses were at war by the dawn of the twenty-fifth century. The decades of conflict would leave no realm untouched, and forever altered the course of human destiny.'' ''Era Digest: Age of War is a mini-sourcebook that explores the pivotal developments of the Sphere-wide fighting that ultimately led to the birth of the Star League, featuring a glimpse of life in the BattleTech universe before the age of the BattleMech, the rise of neo-feudalism, and a look at the evolution of combat from the savagery of “total warfare” to the chivalry of MechWarriors. Complete with rules and stats for several Age of War units, Era Digest: Age of War also features role-playing support for this crucial setting in BattleTech history!''}} ==Contents== * Credits * [[Just Following Orders]] (Short Story) * Introduction * How To Use This Book * The [[Age of War]] * Expansion And Contraction ** The Birth of the Great Houses ** [[Neo-Feudalism]] ** A Match To A Powder Keg ** Barbarism And Chivalry ** The Other Delegations ** War Without Reason ** The New Knights ** Unintended Consequences ** The [[Confederated Suns]] ** Preludes To Peace ** The Age Of War: A Brief Timeline * The [[United Hindu Collective]] :* History :* Government :* Demographics :* Military * A Time Of Wars ** [[First Andurien War]] ([[2398]]-[[2404]]) ** [[Rim War]] ([[2418]]-[[2422]]) ** [[Long March Offensive|The Long March Offensive]] ([[2463]]-[[2468]]) ** [[Davion Civil War]] ([[2525]]-[[2540]]) ** [[Second Andurien War]] ([[2528]]-[[2531]]) ** [[Third Andurien War]] ([[2551]]-[[2556]]) * The March Of Technology ** Combat Technologies ** Medical Technologies ** What Didn't Exist ** [[BattleMech]] Tech Timeline (Highlights) * Conclusions ** The Death Of Democracy ** The Honorable (And Savage) War * The [[Ares Conventions]] :* The Preamble :* The Articles ::* Article I - Nuclear Arms ::* Article II - Orbital Bombardment ::* Article III - Surrender ::* Article IV - Safe Passage ::* Article V - Urban Warfare are Restrictions ::* Article VI - Chemical and Biological Weapons :* The Appendices ::* Appendix A ::* Appendix B ::* Appendices C and D ::* Appendix E ::* Appendices F, G, and H ::* Appendices I through L ::* Appendices M through O ::* Appendices P and Q ::* Appendix R :* The Addendums * A More Civilized Slaughter ** Chivalry ** Save Passage ** Bidding And Dueling ** Weapons Of Mass Destruction ** Treatment Of Civilians ** Orbital Fire ** Other Systems And Codes ** ...And Barbarism ** A Taste Of Hell: [[2398]] to [[2412]] ** The Conventional Century: [[2413]] to [[2524]] ** [[Terra]]: A Justification For Atrocity ** Wars Civil And [[Andurien]]: [[2525]] to [[2550]] ** The End To An Age: [[2551]] to [[2571]] * Age Of War Rules :* Role-Playing Rules ::* Creating Characters in the Age of War ::* Economic adjustment for the Age of War :*Battletech Rules ::* Creating Scenarios in the Age of War ::* Age of War random assignment tables ::* advanced rule: design quirks ::* random assignment table (Age of War) :* New Units ::* [[Marsden I|''Marsden I'']] Main Battle Tank ::* ''[[Estevez]]'' MBT ::* HOR-IB ''[[Hector (BattleMech)|Hector]]'' ::* FR-I ''[[Firebird]]'' * Record Sheets :* Marsden I MBT :* Estevez AA :* Estevez MBT :* Hector HOR-IB :* Hector HOR-IC :* Firebird FR-I ==Notes== * Unlike other sourcebooks, ''Era Digest: Age of War'' lacks an explicit table of contents.
