Do we know what world this is taking place on?

Either Wolves attacking Terra or the invasion of the Wolf Empire by the Republic. Hell both could be wrong and it's the beginning of "My Little Mech: Friendship is Magic"

Aside from where this is taking place, and what the significance of the Cameron Star is for (i.e. what kind of building)...

I'd like to know what the building is here circled in red in the picture...if it's not a home made building, I want one!

It looks not just sci-fi, but 1970 sci-fi, like a prop from Logan's Run or UFO.  Almost certainly a scratch-built.

Unity City on Terra was the old Capital of the Star League. I'm sure with this latest round of invasion and fighting, the inhabitants just get the insurance paperwork out.

Is that a RotS coalition?  They seem to have a lot of different paint schemes versus just a few for the Wolves.

The weird schemes are individual RotS Knights.

Does this mean that Alaric kills Stone and takes over the Republic, Wolf becomes the IlClan? Not sure how I feel about that then.

I have three Knights on the field and three Golden Keshik Wolves :)

Most of the Wolves are Alpha Galaxy though thanks to wackrabbit and phlop!

I look at the diagrama and hear the Alaric vs Stone, i think of the title of a old Star Trek TOS episode title: "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield".

Anyone else scouring the map looking for a Savage Wolf fighting some sort of Atlas?

Amazing diorama! Props to everyone involved!

I can't wait to see high quality pics, I couldn't identify most of these mechs. Where's Alaric and Stone?

Whilst this is my assumption there is no evidence that I know of to support it. For all we know at this point Malvina will nuke Terra to a cinder and kill them both so she can be IlKhan  ::)

I believe that Atlas II next to one of the long daggerstar points is Stone. No clue on Alaric.

You know what concerns me? What appears to be a Vulture IV in green and yellow among the Wolf forces.

That might not be all Wolves there... ^-^

Yup I see it now.  The Atlas looks like a II and looks like it has Stone's paint scheme.  That's definitely a Savage Wolf leading the charge towards it too.

Don't the Wolves have a green galaxy scheme though?

Pants if I know. I've never cared enough about the Wolves to learn much about them, though they did rise in my esteem when they formally named themselves an Empire. (Now if they want actual respect, they need an Emperor.) I just saw that Vulture, and immediately thought of the Falcons' Delta Galaxy, known to be hardline followers of Malvina.
