''Now is the time of the Return. Some among the Clans insist that conquest of the Inner Sphere is the only Way, but we know that this path will only lead us into the chaos of the past. Our true mission is far more noble: we must act as the [[Warden Clans|Wardens]] of the Inner Sphere until the time is right and humanity is truly reunited. Only then will the true Star League have returned to the Inner Sphere.''

* On p. 132, the book lists the ''[[Lola III|Lola]]''-class WarShip ''Cold Hunter'' with the Snow Raven Assault Star and briefly mentions a clash with Clan Jade Falcon forces. This has since been retconned/clarified as an error&mdash;no such ship ever existed in the [[Clan Snow Raven Touman|Snow Raven ''touman'']], and no other ship took its place. The reference to the ''Cold Hunter'' should be ignored. (See also: ''[[Cold Hunter]]'')
