One thing I am curious about: the Celestials are not listed a Extinct in the MUL. I can understand them
not having which factions are willing to field the salvaged ones from the Jihad, since that would
likely be a spoiler, but I would think that the Celestial 'Mechs would be Extinct in the Early Dark Age.
Also, I found it interesting that the Jade Falcons were listed as having availability of Protomechs in
the Early Dark age period. Given that the Falcon's killed their Protomech program by 3067, by the Jihad
era, there would be dwindling numbers of left-over warriors who went through the program. A large number
would have been thinned out, in fact, by 3070(given that the average life expectancy of a Protomech Warrior
is 3 years). Even if the significant numbers are the result of Bondsmen from Ice Hellions, you would still be
seeing a drop off from 3074 to 3081. In theory, by 3085, 10 years in, there would be no Protomech Warriors
for the Jade Falcons...unless something changed.
Another thing I found interesting is that TRO:3085 mentioned that many of the original Clan OmniMechs were
no longer in production in the Inner Sphere Clan Facilities. Does the not listing them as "Extinct" in the Dark
Age Era, the time period where it was already stated many were no longer in production, mean that TRO:3085
was already out of date/in error, that the Home World Clans are somehow still going to factor into the Early
Dark Age, that they have Inner Sphere(i.e., Republic) based factories, or that, at this time, which ones are no
longer in production has yet to be finalized?
