RAT, Republic, p. 199
Medium '10' is called CNS-D9; a not existing variant

Solution: Change it either to CN9-D or CN9-D9

Errata Coordinator: Should be CN9-D9; thank you.

page 169:
"Their insignia consists of three (Knights) or two (Knights-Errant) silver Republic
Stars against blue disks"
Problem: According to page 178 3 stars is the Paladin insignia, 2 is for Knights and 1 is for knight-Errants
Solution: change three to two and two to one.
Page 182:
After discussing the 6th Triarii the text describes colonel Doan 9th Triarii and than the 8th through 10th.
According to the deployment tables on page 187 colonel Doan commands the 7th Triarii.
Solution change 9th to 7th on Page 182.

pg 197, FedSuns RAT Medium mechs, entry 11

Two possible corrections for this line would be:

ENF-6Ma Enforcer III is in 3085-ONN

---OR---

ENF-6M Enforcer III is in 3060

Hard to tell if the errata error is the model of the Enforcer (what I suspect) or which record sheet book it is in.

Should probably read: ENF-6M Enforcer III [50] (3060) Since it was in production for longer and is the baseline model.

Here is what i think is a error, from my limited understanding of the english lenguage:

pg. 98, Twenty-Fifth Arcturan Guards, 5th to 7th line in the paragraph:

"During a recent raid on Halifax by pirates or the Rim Collection, only half of the Guards..."

Should not be "of" ?

No, the reporters aren't sure who the attacker was in this case, either pirates or forces of the Rim Collection (though some may not see a difference between the two, this document does).

Page 161 lists the Green Machine under the "Unaligned/Uncontracted" section with a posting of Herotitus. The Magistracy of Canopus Map page has them on Herotitus as well.

However, page 158 states (Under the TC section of the Periphery)

"Nearly a year passed before they reappeared 8 months ago seeking new work. The equally desperate Taurians were quick to hire the unwanted Machine and assign it to garrison duty, this time on Dicallus to protect the Bowie Industries Plant."

Suggested fix, move the Green Machine to the TC section of the TO&E, change their posting to Dicallus, and delete them from the Magistracy map on Herotitus, and add them to the TC map on Dicallus.

The 'Mech variant is as was intended, the source needs correcting. entry should read ENF-6Ma Enforcer III (3085-ONN)

Wolf in Exile RAT, p. 227 the Morgenstern is listed in number 12 but it isn't produced until 3086.

Solution: Replace with alternate fighter.

p185, Republic Standing Guard (left column, 2nd paragraph, lines 9-10):

Change:
"The basic color scheme of militia units is red with a splash of green on a prominent part of the unit."

To:
"The basic color scheme of militia units is olive drab with maroon highlights on prominent areas of the unit."

Reason:
The author is an idiot.

Okay, a bunch of walking dead here...

p.51, Draconis Combine TO&E

Quote

PESHT MILITARY DISTRICT
Commander: Teyasu Ashora
Aide: Tai-sho Tahara Sakamoto

Tai-shu Teyasu Ashora died in 3062 during the First Combine-Ghost Bear conflict:

"Tai-shu Teyasu Ashora, Warlord of the Pesht Military District, fell battling the Bears’ saKhan on Schuyler and was replaced by the Coordinator’s own wife, Tai-sho Tomoe Sakade, who then bore the brunt of the enraged Bears’ assault." (Field Manual: Update, p.104)

p.63, Capellan March Brigade

Quote

She raised Serena Thompson-Hasek to command the brigade and has provided the new Marshal with everything under her power to ensure the brigade is rebuilt and directly loyal to New Syrtis.

General Serena Thomson-Hasek was killed by Colonel Warner Doles in 3068 during Operation Thunderstrike:

"When the Lancers arrived, General Serena Thompson-Hasek believed the Free Capellan unit was there to reinforce her severely denuded command. She said as much to Lord Carson, the Fourth’s commander. When the Lancers grounded, Senior Colonel Doles
marched his command while piloting his newly acquired EMP-6L to meet General Thompson-Hasek and her Fusiliers. The Davion unit was shocked when Doles opened fired on the General’s Templar, followed by the entire Blackwind Lancers firing on the remaining Fusiliers. The Fifth and its general did not survive the surprise assault."(Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade, p.224)

p.161, Mercenaries TO&E - Taurian Concordat

Quote

The Clean Kill (1 Btn)
(CO: Major Phormes Bullard)

Major Phormes Bullard died in 3068, the unit had been commanded by Major Shahna Richman as of 3071.

"On 21 January 3068, everything came crashing down when Bullard was found dead in his bunker, apparently from an overdose of sleeping pills and Aldebaran whiskey."(Mercenaries Supplemental Update, p. 43).

Suggested fixes: while Serena Thomson-Hasek could probably pull a Uvin Buhallin's "the reports of my death are greatly exaggerated" trick, given that she is featured in the text, but Teyasu Ashora and Phormes Bullard were obviously copy-pasted in the respective TO&Es from pre-Jihad sources and should be replaced with preferably non-zombie characters :)

Page 160, Notable Mercenary Forces, Right Column.
Under the Illician Lancers are 4 sub units, the last one is the Screaming Eagles.
At one point the Screaming Eagles was a separate unit, they way this reads they have become part of the the Illician Lancers.
Just wondering if it's a justification error on the entry?

This is a question rather than an errata report, and since writers don't necessarily check here for questions to answer you should post this in the Ask The Writers forum instead. Please save this thread for confirmed errors.

Thank you.

Second Canopian Cuirassiers, page 138:

Being stationed on Buenos Aires which was destroyed by a Blakist bio-weapon, and surviving the Jihad at nearly full strength are mutually incompatible.

Suggested solution:
Change Buenos Aires in the following line: "Second Canopian Cuirassiers
Stationed on Buenos Aires in the Capellan Confederation to
guard against an attack from the Anduriens that never took place, ..."
to some neighboring planet like Barras or Niomede.

EDIT:

Magistracy Highlanders Brigade, page 139:

The writeup for the Canopian Highlanders regiment is missing.

Add it.

They are a house unit by 3085. And yes, the author missed them, but it was discovered too late to do anything about, I'm afraid. Not errata, just an omission by mistake.

A somehow related problem:

FORMER FREE WORLDS MILITARY FORCES Deployment Table, p.90

Colonel Yoshio Kawamura is listed both as 2nd Free World Guards commander in UNIFIED DUCHY MILITARY COMMAND and commander of 1st Marik Protectors in INDEPENDENT COMMANDS.

Unless there are two Yoshio Kawamuras in ex-FWLM as well, 2nd FWG commander should be changed to someone else.
