I'm planning to use the 23rd and early 24th Century of Battletech as a setting for a campaign. It'd be a more Hammers Slammers style of era in some sense, and though it isn't very recognizable as Battletech, it'd have enough familiar elements that it would be fun for me and the players to play in. I tried to do some quick forum searches, but I couldn't find too many resources for this, so I'm asking if anybody here knows of any links that I should check.
I'm especially looking for maps that might show what planets are colonized/known and if any of the early states are shown. Of course, I have access to the House books, which show some of this, but only to an extent. I'm hoping some folks might have develop something on their own which I'm not familiar it. Also, some production/introduction dates for vehicles and the might also be of interest (though this information is pretty easy to pull up as lists from Sarna).
Let me know if you know where to look for this kind of stuff for the era!
