The Star League era of BT always felt the most mysterious to me, given the scarcity of material to cover it and the glowing almost mystical and legendary reverence with which it's discussed in universe, so I'm both excited to check this book out, and a tiny bit skeptical that it will spoil the fun. Kind of like not wanting to know what really happened to the Wolverines, or Kerensky's Exodus.
The excitement outweighs the skepticism however, will snag this when I see it at the local game store.
Digging the cover art, is there some sort of process that figures out what mechs haven't got a lot of screen time on cover art and throws them to the front of the line so to speak? Can't remember the last time I saw a Thug on the cover of something! 8)
