The book detailed the [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]], including a brief history of the [[Capellan Confederation]] the focused on the smallest [[Successor State]]'s post–[[3025]] existence, unit descriptions, synopses of major military training centers, and a description of the ways in which the CCAF's military bureaucracy works. After the fictional descriptions, the book detailed new rules for [[BattleTech]] and, for the first time, ''[[MechWarrior, Third Edition]]''. It wrapped up with new equipment and new units that made use of that equipment. ''FM:CC'' updated the Confederation to [[3063]]. It also brought the [[Capellan-St. Ives War|Capellan–St. Ives War]] to its final conclusion. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''Ravaged during the [[Succession Wars]] and poorly governed by paranoid [[Chancellor]]s, the [[Capellan Confederation]] has languished at the mercy of its more powerful neighbors for centuries.
