Multiple text formatting and spelling issues from multiple volumes.

Volume 1, 1st printing, p. 13, Pack Hunter entry.
Italicize Hermes in first sentence.

Volume 8, 1st printing, p. 8 Rifleman entry, Variants section, third paragraph, first sentence: Rifleman  in Rifleman C needs to be italicized.

Volume 9, 1st printing, p. 4 Valkyrie entry, second full paragraph has an opening quotation mark before the word ultimately. This should be removed.

Volume 9, 1st printing, p. 10 Inferno entry, Battle History section, second paragraph, second sentence. Infernos needs to be italicized.

Volume 9, 1st printing, p. 11 Inferno entry. Above Alternate Configuration C configuration, the "Weapons and Ammo", "Location", "Critical", "Tonnage" headings are repeated. Should probably be removed.

Volume 9, 1st printing, p. 13 Executioner entry, first paragraph, last word: "Touman" needs to be italicized and lowercase.

Volume 9, 1st printing, p. 13 Executioner entry, Battle History section, first paragraph, last sentence
Quote
...from the Eighteenth Battle Cluster that held the breech from...
"Breech" is incorrect. Should be "breach"
Quote
...from the Eighteenth Battle Cluster that held the breach from...

Volume 10, 1st printing, p. 6, Battle History, paragraph 2, last sentence:

Quote
Star Captain Mark Radick was glad to claim such a brave warrior as his bondsman.

"Mark" should not be italicized.

Volume 10, 1st printing, p. 10, Crucible entry, Notable 'Mechs and MechWarriors, Star Commander Dimitri Kerensky
Quote
...Kerensky and his Crucible detered several ...
"Detered" is misspelled. Should read "deterred".

Volume 17, pg 4

"Bander’s attempts to emulate a clawed Crusader from Solaris resulted in the finely-tuned CRD-9BR, a speed demon with an XXL engine."

Assuming that this is meant to be a reference to the Crusader Crael, then it's from Antallos, not Solaris. "Crusading" Crael's biography on the next page mentions "He resurfaced, now sporting an eyepatch, on Solaris VII as a color commentator in 3059. Crael could no longer pilot a ’Mech"

Fix: Change "Solaris" to "Antallos"

Error: Under Variants, first paragraph. "The -7R..." should be -7K as discussed earlier in the paragraph.

In addition to above, factory on Marduk should be Victory Industries, not Kallon. Also, it is not clear what the phrase in italics is meant to convey:
Quote
The -7K was so spectacularly successful that subsequent variants were developed even after the Victory [Industries] factory on Marduk was upgraded to Project Phoenix standards.

1. Is it meant to imply that the WVR-7K remained in production even as the WVR-8K and WVR-8C Phoenix upgrades were produced on Marduk?
--If so, then italics should read something like "it remained in production even after"
2. Or is it meant to imply that the WVR-8C is was a high-priority upgrade of the WVR-7K because of the latter's success?
--If so, then italics could read something like "a subsequent variant was developed from it when" or "it was a top priority for an upgrade when"

Can't speak for the other name issues, but this change was necessary to give the Clan character an actual extant Bloodname.

Volume 5, pg. 4:

"She has already once challenged Star Colonel Isis Bekker-Florala for command of the Fifth Bear Guards"

Isis Bekker-Florala is a Galaxy Commander, not a Star Colonel, and has been in all prior sources. This is confirmed in the ilClan sourcebook (pg. 125), which postdates RG5 in-universe.

Not errata, Clan iOS SRM-2s weight .25 tons each, so total of 3.5 tons is correct and it is not overweight. (If you used SSW, it hasn't been updated with correct launcher masses.)
