Setting Sourcebooks
The free BattleTech Universe PDF provides a taste of the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere, while touching upon the other myriad factions such as The Clans, Periphery, and mercenaries. Each faction represents a fully fleshed-out star-spanning realm, with its own history, cultural identity, fighting style and so on.
The following sourcebooks expand those faction settings in various ways. From the Handbooks that provide an in-depth look at each faction’s history and culture, to Masters And Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers that provides an overview of the most influential personalities (along with a brief overview on the current state) of a given faction during the Jihad Era: each helps bring the universe alive, immersing players into the BattleTech gaming experience.

- BattleTech is a science-fiction “space opera”: a factional, militarized universe set in the thirty-first century, a future where humanity has spread to the stars and spawned titanic interstellar empires, each nation controlling hundreds of worlds across a region of space stretching a thousand light years and beyond.
Initially published over thirty years ago as a tabletop board game, BattleTech has gone on to become one of the gaming industry’s most important and longest-lasting science-fiction universes.
