Perhaps that planet has some high symbolic value. You know, "ancestral Capellan world" and all that stuff.
I thought every world a Capellan family of four had visited long enough on holiday to have a bowel movement was an ancestral Capellan world over which no amount of bloodshed was too much to see its liberation and return to the Capellan state bosom?

It's more interesting than optimal, and therefore better. O0 - Weirdo

I wonder when the Capellans declare the Clan Homeworlds to be part of the Capellan Confederation.

Kingdom of Surev, Democratic Republic of Rand, Emerald Kingdom - these proofs of the Capellan claim and primacy are irrefutable ...
Is there anyone who would refuse the Confederation its ancestral worlds of Eden, Circe and Arcadia? And Strana Mechty?   :))

Actually, my secret source from the CGL told me that the Dark Age timeline will end with the Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation taking the title of the First Lord of the Third Star League from Devlin Stone, and winning the title of ilKhan from Malvina Hazen and Alaric Davion-Wolf-Steiner-Ward in direct hand-to-hand combat "one against two".

That will be the end of the BattleTech as we know it, as there will be left anything to write about ...

Oh now I get it! Those 'Mechs aren't falling after all!

Silly Liao, even on their way to heaven they spitefully shoot their foes.

I thought he fell in combat during the Capellan Crusades...am I misremembering?
Not in the direct combat, he succumbed to to the severe intestinal distress brought by the field rations.

Depending on how long it may be before the ilClan book is out, I wonder what might be in store for this year's GenCon?

If the "Fall of Terra" event of 2013 was meant to be set at or near the culmination of that book's storyline, the assumption at the time might have been that we'd have the book available before the moment came to plan ahead for GenCon 2014.

But if things aren't ready to move forward into the post-ilClan storyline by then, where would that leave this year's canon event?


Well, I suppose there are other events between 3145 and 3151 that could be portrayed, away from Terra itself. (Depending on how far the DCMS and CCAF push into the Federated Suns, perhaps GenCon 2014 might host the next Battle for New Avalon?)

That would be impressive.

Did they say when Devlin Stone becomes First Lord of the Third Star League?

I wonder if the Ilknan book is going be suppliment to the IlClan booking out. ;) 

Seriously, given how the War of Reaving book rolled out, with extra-suppliment for record sheets, extra infomation for book.  Given how important the IlClan book is, i hope we see one if they have enough time write it up with it.  Stuff does get cut out unfortunately.

It's for rumor control. People seem to be under the impression that there is a book coming called ilkhan when there isn't.

Speaking of getting names right, is it still going to be Historical: Wars of the Republic Era, or is it being changed to Historical: Wars of the Republic instead?

(I'm hoping it'll stay as the former, since two of the conflicts listed as being featured don't actually involve the Republic of the Sphere...)

Seems some people that were asking about which Emperor it was got a partial answer...but the art still doesn't match those answers. Per the description (...increasing the scale on the Emperor’s autocanons by 7%) makes one thing it's either a -7L which has 2 A/C 10's, or an -8L which has 2 LB 10-X's. Problem is both those variants have either 3 lasers, or 2 lasers & a Plasma Cannon in the LT...which this mechs reflects the base left, right, & head lasers.

Well, it could be standard EMP-6A Emperor. I would say it fits its stats. One laser under cockpit, one laser in each side torso, Arms with Autocannons and Lasers.
