<h3 class='sectionHead' id='background'><span class='titlemark'>2 </span> <a id='x3-80002'></a>Background</h3> | ||
<!-- l. 1 --><p class='noindent'>The Outworlds Alliance was founded in 2413 and enjoyed prosperity throughout the Star League Era. By the start of the | ||
Amaris Civil War in 2766, the Outworlds Alliance contained over 135 major systems across 7 administrative | ||
districts. Unfortunately, the Outworlds Alliance suffered during the Succession Wars that followed the fall of the | ||
Star League in 2780, and they had to steadily abandon systems that they no longer had the resources to | ||
support. | ||
</p><!-- l. 5 --><p class='indent'> Clan Snow Raven began exploring the Periphery for resources soon after the battle of Tukayyid ended Operation | ||
REVIVAL. In 3064, Clan Snow Raven and the Outworlds Alliance began developing mutual respect and a tentative alliance. | ||
Following their abjuration from the Clan Homeworlds in 3075 after the Wars of Reaving, Clan Snow Raven took refuge in the | ||
Outworlds Alliance. In 3083, Clan Snow Raven and the Outworlds Alliance merged to form the Raven Alliance. By the ilClan | ||
Trial in 3151, the Raven Alliance contained only 47 systems. | ||
</p><!-- l. 11 --><p class='indent'> The exact number of lost systems varies from era to era, but approximately 88 systems that were part of the Outworlds | ||
Alliance during the Star League era were abandoned. These lost worlds form the Outworlds Wastes. Many factions are eager | ||
to explore these lost worlds in search of lost Star League technology or to take refuge from the complex political machinations | ||
of the Inner Sphere. | ||
</p><!-- l. 15 --><p class='indent'> You will take the role of commander of a combined arms force exploring the Outworlds Wastes for your faction during the | ||
current league era. Common factions for the region include | ||
</p> | ||
<div class='columns-2'> | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Outworlds Alliance | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Clan Snow Raven | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Draconis Combine | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Federated Suns | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Mercenary groups | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Pirate gangs | ||
<span class='tcrm-1000'>•</span> Clan Dark Caste | ||
</div> | ||
<!-- l. 1 --><p class='indent'> Commanders should pick the faction they are most interested in representing. While the common factions listed above are | ||
the most prevalent in the region, many other factions may be found in the Outworlds Wastes. For example, the | ||
Raven Alliance has relationships with nations on the far side of the Periphery, such as the Magistracy of | ||
Canopus. | ||
</p><!-- l. 5 --><p class='indent'> Commanders will compete with other factions in the Outworlds Wastes to grow their force and recover lost technology. | ||
Scenarios are primarily designed for BattleTech: Total Warfare, but scenarios for Alpha Strike and BattleTech: Override are | ||
also supported. | ||
</p><!-- l. 8 --><p class='indent'> League organizers pick the era for the current league; organizers can select any era after the fall of the Star League. The | ||
era determines unit availability and the most common factions in the Outworlds Wastes. Commanders should ask the league | ||
organizers which era is being used. | ||
