Historical: Liberation of Terra, Vol I:

Back cover (B in the pdf):

...General Alaksandr Kerensky immediately
attacked Amaris’ Rim Worlds Republic...

Change Alaksandr to Aleksandr.

[Demos]

page 49 (PDF):

Between Simon Cameron’s death in 2651 and the outbreak of the Uprising in 2765 [...]

Simon died in 2751.

Solution: change 2651 to 2751

[Demos]

p. 36 (PDF)
Debatable as an errata, but...

Even in the twenty-eighth century, service in the infantry remained the most common occupation in the SLDF. Most were equipped with some sort of organic transport capability: APCs for mechanized infantry, Infantry Fighting Vehicles (lighter armored but faster and more maneuverable than APCs) for motorized infantry or jump packs for jump infantry.

The term Infantry Fighting Vehicle in this context don't match the current definition, which is also used in the BTU.
I suggest to adapt the terms of TW, p. 23, something like
"Most were equipped with some sort of organic transport capability: (Intrinsic - optional) APCs or Infantry Fighting Vehicles for mechanized infantry, light unarmored vehicles for motorized infantry or jump packs for jump infantry."

PDF

p30, 2764:
Delete "Amanda Cameron born."

p30, 2766:
Add "(Feb) Amanda Cameron born."

[Xotl]

PDF, p. 99, second paragraph, first and second sentences:

"Amaris himself broke the silence surrounding the Hegemony, publishing a proclamation on 31 January that announced him as the new Emperor of the Star League. The message would take weeks to propagate out to the Periphery, reaching New Vandenberg on 4 February."

New Vandenburg is in the Periphery, but the message reached there in just 4 days, despite the stated requirement of "weeks" with no qualifier of any kind.  Adjust the arrival day of the message at New Vandenburg or remove the reference to the requirement of weeks.

[VoltAmpere]

I see two Sendai in the 2765 map, one in Baldur Prefecture, another in Kajikazawa Prefecture. Is it a typo or intentional like two Quimper in FedSuns space?

PDF, p. 99, second paragraph, first and second sentences:

"Amaris himself broke the silence surrounding the Hegemony, publishing a proclamation on 31 January that announced him as the new Emperor of the Star League. The message would take weeks to propagate out to the Periphery, reaching New Vandenberg on 4 February."

New Vandenburg is in the Periphery, but the message reached there in just 4 days, despite the stated requirement of "weeks" with no qualifier of any kind.  Adjust the arrival day of the message at New Vandenburg or remove the reference to the requirement of weeks.

Important areas of the Periphery, such as those with important SLDF commanders, would hear about the proclamation in days. The rest of the Periphery would need no more than weeks.

Inner Sphere - 2765, p10 Kaznejoy Prefecture  & p11, Kaznejoy (System) erroneously spelled Kaznejov.

Herb ruled the spelling to be Kaznejoy http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,10547.0.html

PDF page 44 the insignia for the 13th Army has a Roman numeral XII instead of XIII. Solution: artwork redone to XIII.

[Demos]

p. 25 (PDF)sidebar, The new Camlann

[...]the First French Regiment under the command of Lieutenant General Dominque Petain.

Should be Dominique

[VoltAmpere]

Capellan Confederation system Dowles [North-East of St. Ives] in the St. Ives Compact is not named in p.11 Inner Sphere 2765 map.

[Gaiiten]

Illustration on page 76, Grasshopper Mechs are destroying an SLDF camp.

Grasshoppers were introduced in 2778, so they should not have been used in the coup.
However, because it is an illustration I doubt it is not going to be changed.

[VoltAmpere]

Rezak's Hole was discovered in 3049, so it should not be appearing in the 2765 map.

[Revanche]

"THE AUTHOR’S PERSPECTIVE: ONCE MORE INTO THE BREACH", p. 9

original: "The ramifications are still being felt in the modern BattleTech universe, their full impacted unrealized until the end of the Dark Age."
corr: "The ramifications are still being felt in the modern BattleTech universe, their full impact unrealized until the end of the Dark Age."

Hope this helps,

Two systems named Narellan in FS, Capellan March, Taygeta Operations Area in p.11, typo or intentional?

The errata forum is for errata only, not questions.  Please repost this in Ask The Writers, where people will look for questions like these and the answers to them.

Thank you.


EDIT:

Page 48:
13th Fleet, Composition is listed as 3 squadrons but 4 are listed.  Change it to 4 squadrons instead, or remove one.

Page 175:
The Voidseeker has 175 armour allocated, should have 179 points for the 10 tons of armour, but specifies 198 armour points.  The record sheet on p. 186 also only has 175 points.

Page 176:
The Striker has 240 armour points allocated, but 241 points listed (which is the correct number for 13.5 tons of ferro-aluminum armour).  The record sheet on p. 186 has 240 points allocated too, and should have the armour increased.

[VoltAmpere]

sorry, created the appropriate post in the Ask the Writers section.

Barlow's End in FS,Draconis March,Fairfax Operational Area is erroneously named "Cussar". Cussar in FS,Draconis March,Robinson Operational Area is renamed to Barlow's Folly after 2nd Succession War, while Barlow's End is simply just Barlow's End from 2571 [See HB:HD map] and all succeeding maps up to 3130.

Solution: Rename the "Cussar" in Fairfax Operational Area to "Barlow's End"

PDF, page 56, right column:

"In February 2751, Simon was killed in an unlikely accident so convenient for his political opponents that few believed it was anything but murder. Simon’s death left his eight-year-old son, Richard, as heir to the Hegemony and Star League."

Richard Cameron was born 9 February 2744, so in February of 2751 he would have been seven years old, not eight.

Suggested correction: change "eight-year-old son" to "seven-year-old son".

[Kojak]

PDF, page 62, right column, 2nd paragraph:

"Unlike House Kurita, whom he suspected was in League with Amaris..."

League should not be capitalized.

[Kojak]

PDF, page 66, left column, first paragraph:

"She was at times aesthetic and possessed a moralistic streak which, even by Alliance standards, tended towards extremism."

This word choice makes zero sense here; I'm almost 100% certain the author meant to use the word "ascetic", which would be much more in keeping with both the context and the character of the Outworlds Alliance as a whole.

Suggested correction: change "aesthetic" to "ascetic".

[Kojak]

PDF, page 107, sidebar, final paragraph:

"He wondered why, if Minoru Kurita was so closely aligned with Amaris, had some of the Combine’s elite Nekogami assassins aided SLDF operations against the Rim Worlds Republic."

The proper spelling, per all prior canon on the subject, is nekakami.

[Kojak]

PDF, page 108, 4th paragraph:

"Instead, he opted to let regent Regent Mohammed Selim stew, isolating a ring of worlds around the capital and blocking the passage of any HPG messages from Apollo that had not been approved by the SLDF."

Suggested correction: delete lowercase "regent" from the sentence.

[roosterboy]

The proper spelling, per all prior canon on the subject, is nekakami.

On the contrary, nekekami, nekogami, nekakami and nekagami are all spellings that show up in various sourcebooks, novels and BattleCorps stories, in decreasing order of frequency. Nekogami is acceptable.

Replace KB with KW (for Killer Whale).

Need a space between closing parenthesis and "form".

Grizzly isn't correct. Replace with grisly.
