Knights of Saint Cameron ?

[DOC_Agren]

Well it is also something most "future" games included as part of getting Cyber..

[JAMES_PRYDE]

Ok in jest, what is the possibility of this happening ?

Order or Chapter of Saint Cameron having / finding a (secret) "Brain Cache"

Other Inner Sphere developments, new Tamar Pact made up of Hinterland factions, on a council but still sovereign (against the Horses perhaps)

ELH, RAF remnants, NWH forming anti League alliance

Also another interesting thing on my mind is how will ilClan look after 20+ years, aka, Alaric gone perhaps, first generation, dawning on second how integration will go

[Colt Ward]

He must have some Ward DNA in him as it was required to activate the recording telling him where he could find the McKenna's Pride.

No, he really does not . . . the ship's manifest tracks who is aboard, his codex is faked up, boom message pops on screen.

mostly to dischourage every cyberpunk RPG from having the players end up more cybernetic then robocop :)

Well when your story begins with "my mercenary unit found a Brian Cache" you've gone full Monty Haul on page 1.

Well Brewer already asked other people to make an alliance with him and they told him to piss off. The Malthuses are already working with Regis but she doesn't want anyone to know, because the terms of their agreement involve her turning a blind eye to bad shit. The ARLC is very clearly refusing to step over the line to independence at all. Jiyi's Falcons are not willing to recognize civilians as equals to them. So you could have some kind of alliance between the AML and Tamar Pact. Not much of a council.

ELH, RAF remnants, NWH forming anti League alliance

The ELH has thrown in with the FS, being quite indebted to Julian Davion after he went all Gordian Knot on all their legal woes. The NWH has also subcontracted to Hansen's Roughriders to work for the FS.

[Minemech]

Now that the ELH is back, here is to hoping Smithson's Chinese Bandits return. No one holds hope for the Star Guards.

(In a small voice) I have hope.

I always assumed the Star Guards were a pet unit of someone who had stroke at FASA but were only employed for a narrow window of time. In 3025 they're one of the biggest outfits in the Inner Sphere, in 3050 they just get wiped out as a footnote.

Some "big" players had to get wiped out to sell the Clans as a threat. The 12th Star Guards are just the Free Rasalhague Republic writ small. Born to die, so that factions and units TPTB actually cared about could live on.

Not going to disagree.. Cyberpsychosis and to bring in C-SWAT to deal with them.

Eh, 3 of the 5 regiments got hammered- and we know one went native on a Falcon world rather than fight more.  IIRC the remains during the Jihad became the Periphery Star Guard, employed by IE and they have a short story IIRC.

I feel like it might be more than that because they're that big in the House books. Everything else they farted out specifically to get churned under by the Clans (like the FRR and shitloads of AFFC regiments) was introduced in 20-Year Update.

[JAMES_PRYDE]

I thought that Jiyi was now "everyone is important to Jade Falcon" even civs, thus they are recognised

[Metallgewitter]

I thought at the beginmning of the Clan invasion the Star Guards had 3 regiments left. The majority got wiped out by the Wolves but some support elements managed to flee. Those units became then known as Thor's Hammers as their CO was the one who commanded the Guards artillery support and he was only interested in building an artillery unit.

The Periphery Star Guard is a different beast. They were a rather loose collection of mercenaries that supported Comstar's Explorer Corps and then were hired by Interstellar Expeditions to guard their dig sites.

We also have Bander Battlemechs whose Chief Tech was a member.

They had the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 7th regiments.

As long as they're willing to recognize their place in the hierarchy they can be "one of the good ones." Marena offers him a position as the leader of her army, and the idea of a warrior not being inherently Superior to a merchant is something he is not willing to entertain.
