Writing in finished on Supplemental II, now for editing and off to layout after that.

In the meantime, I will be providing a sneak peak for one faction as voted on by the fans on Discord.

That should be up in the next couple of days.

The Clan Field Manuals are coming together, one of the biggest tasks being aligning the time line of 20 Clans and keeping it all straight and without contradiction.

Also, the first three chapters of the first book have had their full write up, and they are monsters, coming in at about 18,000 words together. But they do the task of showing the formation of the KU Clans and some of the threads that will come into play throughout the story.
Dedicated to committing viciously gratuitous bastardy of the first order.

Unofficial LD for 2 seconds - It was a glorious moment!

Are they Field Manual not the Field Report that's been put out?  How are they different?

KU 12 - Inner Sphere Supplement: 3034

Available here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/68p8roygnszkdw4s83rtb/h?rlkey=hqj6s2oeu8faa4g6ejzilzkpc&dl=0

Only two years have passed since the Hegemony Intelligence Directorate took stock of the Inner Sphere, but much has changed. Entire states have fallen, wars of revenge have been waged, and ComStar’s ghosts returned to haunt the people of Terra.

While the chaos swirled, the leaders of Terra have been forced to come to terms with the existence of a power that could rival their own, as Kerensky’s descendants prepare for their return to the Inner Sphere.


The Kapteyn Universe is a Fan Fiction alternate setting for the BattleTech Universe, crafted by many hands across 13 years.

Inner Sphere Supplement: 3034 provides an overview of the period from 3032 to 3034, covering major events, players, and campaigns. Also provided are National summaries, and full deployment tables for every military in the Inner Sphere.

Book Structure:
Inner Sphere Supplement 3032 is a Kapteyn Universe fiction supplement designed to offer information on the progress of the Inner Sphere since Inner Sphere Supplement 3032.
 
  • The first section of the book provides a short look into the history of the Inner Sphere during 3033, detailing campaigns, events and major political actions.
  • The second section moves the narrative into 3034 and utilizes the same format for information as the previous section.
  • The final section provides national summaries for all the major and minor powers, as well as deployment tables for every regiment and WarShip in service.
