I'm a big adherent to 3025 but I'd have to agree the Jihad is the most interesting campaign story time for Solaris.

I'd set it a bit before the Jihad though.  Give time for the players to find some antagonists they truly hate.  THEN make them work with them to be the partisan resistance to the Wobblies :)

Mid 3050s to early 60s from a supporting materials standpoint. You have the Solaris vii box books, Solaris: The Reaches, Unbound, and the Mechwarrior’s Guide to Solaris VII

I do agree that the jihad is the most target-rich environment

Start in the 3060s, extend to the Jihad
