It's been some time, but I remember a few lines in one of the TROs, I believe it was the original TRO3050 but I can't find a copy of anything other than the revised editions that removed all references to the Unseen, that stated the Taurians were the 2nd largest producer of Stingers in the Inner Sphere, were turning out Warhammers at "extensive rates high enough to sell them to mercenary units and black marketeers", and both the Marauder and Thunderbolt were being produced at "prodigeous rates". The same entry also mentioned that the FWL was "only capable of building 5 Warhammers every year", or something to that amount. It's entirely possible that I'm running on outdated lore that isn't current any longer, now that the writers have toned back the sheer level of destruction caused by the Succession Wars and given that the content that contained that lore was removed after the Unseen debacle (all references to the lines I remember are gone in TRO Project Phoenix, but TROPP is written in a much different style than the original TRO3050), but I can't find a PDF online and I no longer have access to the physical TRO.

Yeah, I still yearn for the old Mad Max world of my earliest BattleTech gameplay and memories. In order to get from there to a BattleTech Universe that could see Armies fielded during the Fourth Succession War and what came afterwards, some adjustments needed to be made to the Inner Sphere.
If anything some of the Mad Max-era of BattleTech still exists, it just migrated out into the Periphery and then only in and around the larger of the Periphery Powers. :shrug:

Such is life. I miss the "Early medieval era knights, but in space and also giant robots" feel that the old lore had, but I will admit it was a bit less believable than what we have right now.
The ones on the Bull Shark that comes with a Thumper Cannon may well be influenced by the Clans; IIRC, the UAC's on its arms weigh 2 tons less... A(nother) lost Prototype, perhaps, but from the Wolf Dragoons or from the Star League?
Regardless, I'm glad as all expletives for a better chance of finding DHS.
In regards to Comstar Would be interesting if by chance theyr do a second year of expanded content which adds comstar involvement via flashpoints. Kind of how Comstar got involved with the Grey Death and Marik situation.
Also Theory going around its a Star League Era Aramis prototype as it has similarities to the Dragoon mech. While I also can see Nova Cat mech influence in it also.
And supposedly the weapons you find it with are not Uac's and Lbx's.
Yeah. HBS would have to bend the lore of the setting a little in order for it to work, but it's far more lore breaking for ComStar to just be ignoring us. Plus, more LosTech is just fun.
I don't think they're ignoring us - they run the MRB after all. I think it's more to the point they simply hadn't decided what to do about us . . . and if we were basically just shuttling around making "mischief"? It wouldn't matter as much as a WarShip reappearing.
Or, oh, Castle Nautilus being found and someone trying to loot it. That would be a bad little mark against us...
Pretty sure Comstar is fully aware. You're in the boonies, ýour ship might be Star League era but its not a pure SL ship anymore. There's alot of rebuilt stuff onboard and you did loose some stuff. It's important enough to track but not drastic enough to draw the attention. Though as your acquiring more and more SLDF tech and more rare stuff they might start rethinking their views. Since you aren't part of their plans.
...And also blew it up for no one else to get many goodies out of it. ComStar just might think "hey, these could be useful assets that do our job for us".

...And also blew it up for no one else to get many goodies out of it. ComStar just might think "hey, these could be useful assets that do our job for us".
That would be a way of keeping us "out of play" so to speak. They'd only need to worry about us upsetting the status quo if we . . . you know . . . actually started having an impact on the major issues taking place at this time. (Or start mass-producing former lostech out of the Argo. Then we'd have to have a bad mis-Jump.)
The Wolf's Dragoons didn't really bring any obvious LosTech with them though. They also had enough firepower to fight off anything short of ComStar's warship fleet, which would've been far too much of an overt step for them to take, and they got on the good side of Hanse Davion very quickly, and Hanse Davion was one of the few people ROM was cautious in acting against. We're a fairly small unit, destroying us doesn't put ComStar at much risk and it destroys what basically amounts to a floating Helm Memory Core before anyone can use it to disrupt their plans.
Plus there are a few references in the books/comics to Comstar taking a quiet-but-intense interest in Wolf's Dragoons and the 5 regiments of pristine mechs they brought to the Inner Sphere. Somewhere in storage I have a comic where they launch a mission through 3rd parties to try and take out the Black Widow Company in an effort to get the Dragoons to lead them to the source of their tech. (Spoiler alert: the plan fails when the Black Widows mop the floor with the opposition.)
Not that I am a fan of comstar but in this case everyone should of wanted the dragoons origin. 5 regiments out of no where with experienced mech warriors should of been a concern to everyone. The dragoons were technically spies.

This is a list of the major mercenary units active in 3025 and their current stats. This includes those employed by the five Successor States as well as the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus. (The Outworlds Alliance refuses to hire mercenaries in 3025.) Included at the end is also the Bandit Kingdoms and other minor Periphery powers. I compiled this from the 3025 '80s sources a while back and ended up posting it on the old forum. I tried to correct any errors as I found them as well as expanded entries and added new entries where possible.

I mention the Northwind Highlanders last. The most senior of the Northwind Highlanders regiments was created in 2362 and began employment with the Capellan Confederation, with whom the below four Northwind Highlanders regiments have continued to serve since their foundings. As people were kind enough to point out, they were apparently founded as mercenaries by Clan Stuart, which originated in Scotland before colonizing Northwind. However, the Northwind Highlanders have been with the Capellan Confederation for so long that they are treated as line regiments. Despite this, they never forgot their mercenary roots and kept their Northwind traditions. ***Spoiler*** After the 4SW, they jump ship to the Federated Suns to then be garrisoned on Northwind and begin to act like a mercenary unit (again).

Into ALL of this, Jamie and Joshua Wolf added the five Regiments of Wolfs Dragoon’s.
Their first contact upon arrival was with House Davion, and the Dragoons were met with skepticism and doubt. Ian Davion dispatched his relative, William Schuler-Davion to meet, investigate and negotiate with the Dragoons.
While the Dragoons origins may have been a concern, which of the Great Houses would have risked alienating them and not taking advantage of their offer of employment. And all five Great Houses did indeed employ the Dragoons in their turn. So while there was suspicion and doubts, these concerns were eventually sidelined by the Military Might and in time the truly remarkable record of Victories that the Dragoons racked up. :bow:
I'm well aware of the lore but props for calling your assumption that I'm unfamiliar with said lore as perspective. Even in 3025 (especially in 3025) 5 regiments of unknown heavily experienced regiments (with pristine gear) meant there was another player in the game. I'd also like to point out they were mostly used to take enemy planets by the Davions not as garrison forces. Not much trust required if you let the unknown do the bleeding because they either succeed or not.
