A BATTLECORPS EXCLUSIVE UNIT DIGEST

 introduction
A BattleCorps Unit Digest is a gameplay aid designed to offer
players a glimpse into one of the myriad unnamed and un-
known national-and-smaller level military units in the Inner
Sphere. Products such as the Field Manuals and Field Reports
offer playable game notes and information about the front-
line regiments of each nation of the Inner Sphere, Clans, and
Periphery, but for each of those regiments there are a hundred
or more conventional, non-BattleMech battalions working for
no higher power than a planetary duke or corporate security
force.
Each of the units found in these small PDF exclusives is too
small to ever be in the pages of Field Manual. Each of them
may have been coopted or destroyed the day after the report
was compiled. Perhaps they were absorbed into the mainline

sits down to play a game of BattleTech or an A Time of War role-

playing campaign. Our intention in creating these reports isn’t
to increase the already-considerabe canon of BattleTech lore,
although they are official and sanctioned units, but rather to
offer you a chance to add a harmless and perhaps fun bit of
flavor to your games.
As we launch this series of free-to-subscriber content to Bat-
tleCorps, please note that the era icon and a year will appear in
each one. The unit listed existed during that era and specific
year, and may or may not have existed before or after. Unless TM

they appear in other products, they have vanished into the

mists of histrory.

362nd Confederation Air Regiment

The 362nd is a conventional fighter regiment tasked with protecting New Roland from pirates and raiders. Despite the aircraft
they fly, the 362nd consider themselves the equal of any other Capellan unit.
Based near the four main cities on New Roland, the four wings of the 362nd see more action then most of their brethren on
other Confederation planets, even with the Jihad raging though the Inner Sphere. The CCAF tends to station front-line units on
New Roland infrequently, meaning that the bulk of any defense falls to the local garrison, including the 362nd.
Each wing consists of three squadrons and a command triple of Inseki II heavy strike fighters acting a a reserve. Almost all
the pilots are native to New Roland and know the planet well. The regiment specializes in bombing and ground strike missions,

through they can handle themselves against airborne enemies.

1749th Strike Wing (The Golden Hawks)
Zhong-shao Tung Li
Wing / Veteran / Fanatical
The ‘senior’ wing of the regiment, the 1749th is
made up of two squadrons of Meteor heavy strike fighters
and a squadron of Mechbusters. Specializing in ground sup-
port missions, the Golden Hawks can turn the tide of battle
very quickly, and half the wing can claim at least one ‘Mech
or vehicle kill. Zhong-shao Li has five confirmed kills of pirate
vehicles and ‘Mechs.
4571st Attack Wing (The Silver Falcons)
Sao-shao Gayla Tomich
Wing / Regular / Fanatical
The wing comprises two squadrons of Guardians
(one squadron each of C and D variants) and a squadron of
Crane fighters. They can also do ground support missions, but
their main skill is intercepting and engaging other conven-
tional fighters or VTOLs. After securing the airspace over the
battlefield, the Silver Falcons either act as CAP for the other
wings or move to intercept any reinforcements

BATTLECORPS UNIT DIGEST

8068th Attack Wing (The Bronze Eagles)
Sao-shao Darnell Calmes
Wing/ Regular / Fanatical
A conventional fighter usually cannot take on an
aerospace fighter one-on-one. The Bronze Eagles take on
aerospace fighters on their terms—usually three to one or
better. The wing has two squadrons of Meteor heavy strike
fighters and a squadron of the new Inseki II heavy strike fight-
ers. Unlike the other wings, the 8068th flies in trios, not pairs,
and they work tirelessly to hone their skills against the single
Home Guard aerospace fighter squadron stationed on New
Roland.
9428th Strike Wing (The Wind Dragons)
Sao-shao Deshi Xu
Wing / Regular / Reliable
The Wind Dragons specialize in dive-bombing mis-
sions. The lightest of the four wings, the two squadrons of
original Guardians and a squadron of Angel light strike fight-
ers use speed and precision to deliver their bomb loads. Sao-
shao Xu trains his pilots hard, making them experts at dive
bombing.
 notable personalities
Zhong-shao Tung Li
Li is a third-generation conventional fighter pilot. He has
over fifteen thousand hours in conventionals fighters and has
lectured at both the Capella War College and the Liao Conser-
vatory of Military Arts. He is a strong supporter of the Confed-
eration and allows no dissent or back-talking against the state,
but otherwise allows his pilots leeway, much to Sao-shao Xu’s
irritation.
Special Abilities
Li is a Elite-level air vehicle pilot with +4 Leadership and +5
Tactics/Air. In battle, he has the Maneuvering Ace (see p. 223,
AToW) and Combat Intuition (see p. 225, AToW) special abili-
ties.
Sao-shao Darnell Calmes
Calmes is the commander of the 8068th. A student of history,
he has studied long and hard about how to take on aerospace
fighters using conventional fighters. He has spent the last year
and a lot of training time against the Home Guard aerospace
fighters developing tactics and strategies. With his new tactics,
Calmes believes that the wing can take on any aerospace squad-
ron they face.
Special Abilities
Calmes is a Veteran-level air vehicle pilot with +4 Leadership,
+3 Tactics/Air and +3 in Interest/Air combat. In combat, he has
the Multi-Tasker (see p. 220, AToW) special ability.
Sang-wei Kate Tenjio
No one is sure how someone as talented as Tenjio ended up
as a member of the 362nd. While she has been with the regi-
ment less then a year, she has risen to command one of the
1749th’s squadrons and has shown a talent for ground attacks
that borders on the uncanny. Outside of the cockpit, she tends
to stay in the background, running her squadron with quiet
efficiency.
Special Abilities
Tenjio is a Veteran-level air vehicle pilot with +2 Leadership
and +2 Tactics/Air. She has a +5 TP Natural Aptitude/Piloting/
Air vehicle Trait. While making an air-to-ground attack, she re-
ceive an additional –1 To-hit modifier against all non-airborne
units, in addition to the special combat ability of the 1749th.
Sao-shao Gayla Tomich
Tomich is the regiment’s XO, as well as CO of the 4571st. Her
family was under suspicion of being spies for the St. Ives Com-
pact. After a throrough multi-year investigation, no evidence
was found but the family still found it hard to adjust to the
constant harassment. Tomich harbors a deep-seated resent-
ment against the Maskriovka and pushes herself and her wing
as hard as she can. She is cool toward Sao-shao Xu, as his fa-
naticism grates on her as a reminder of her family’s troubles
Special Abilities
Tomich is a Veteran-level air vehicle pilot with +3 Leader-
ship and +4 Tactics/Air. She has a –2 TP Compulsion/Hates
Maskriovka Trait. In battle, she has Range Master (long) special
ability (see p. 221, AToW).
Sao-shao Deshi Xu
Xu is a fanatical supporter of the Chancellor and the Con-
federation. A distant cousin of the Liao family, Xu demands
complete obedience to every rule and regulation. The fact that
the other wings don’t follow his example irritates him to no
end. He is not popular in the regiment, either among the other
officers or the pilots under his command. Li tolerates him, as
Xu has connections inside the CCAF Quartermaster’s depart-
ment and is one of the best dive bombers in the CCAF.
Special Abilities
Xu is a Regular-level air vehicle pilot with +2 Leadership and
+2 Tactics/Air. He has a +7 TP Connections Trait. When making
a dive bombing run, he suffers no air-to-ground attack modi-
fier penalty (see p. 243, TW).
