INTRODUCTION
The study of the Free Worlds League is a study of
paradox: although divided internally, the League
presents a united front to the other four Successor
States. The League is essentially mercantile‐oriented,
but is eminent in many fields of scientific and
technological investigation. In addition, in what is
possibly the most democratic state in the Inner Sphere,
there have been more civil uprisings than in any other
Successor State.
The Free Worlds League is the oldest Successor State,
being established by treaty in 2271. It consists of 333
planets, each with its own government, culture,
economy, and political system. The overall leader is
Captain‐General Janos Marik, the 68‐year‐old scion of
House Marik, whose members have ruled the Free
Words League for nearly eight hundred years.
The recent Steiner‐Davion alliance, the most significant
realignment of power within the Inner Sphere since the
Succession Wars began, has forced House Marik to ally
with House Kurita’s Draconis Combine (a militaristic
police state) and Marik’s traditional enemy, House Liao’s
Capellan Confederation. How long such strange
bedfellows might remain allied is unknown, but forming
a united front against the military power of House
Davion and the economic power of House Steiner is a
strong incentive to do so.
SOCIOPOLITICAL STRUCTURE
Unlike most other Successor States, the Free Worlds
League has a strong representative tradition, which
dates back to the Treaty of Marik. The Document of
Incorporation, signed with the Treaty of Marik signed in
2271, established a Parliament as the Free World
League’s chief ruling body, and granted temporary
authority to a “Captain‐General” in times of crisis. This
kind of government was by no means revolutionary; by
rd
the late 23 century, there were numerous examples of
this sort of government.
Under the original Document of Incorporation, the
authority of the Captain‐General lasted for only one
year. This severely constrained the holders of the
position; Parliament had the right to refuse to continue
a Captain‐General’s term of office by terminating the
state of crisis. However, in 2779, with the fall of the Star
League and outbreak of the First Succession War the
then incumbent, Kenyon Marik, forced the passage of
Resolution 288, giving the Captain‐General authority
over the League, even including the summoning and
disbanding of Parliament, “for the duration of the crisis”.
Despite the vast authority granted by Resolution 288,
Captains‐General have been plagued with administrative
problems on and off the battlefield throughout the “long
crisis” and faced stubbornness from Parliament in such
areas as trade, industrial reconstruction and recovery of
lost technology.
PROFILE: JANOS MARIK
Title/Rank: Duke of Atreus, the Marik
Position: Captain‐General of the Free Worlds League
Birthplace: Marik
Age: 68
Sex: Male
Brief Personal History:
Janos is the oldest of the five current Successor State
warlords. The Free Worlds League that he inherited
from his father Stephan was a fragmented beast of
disparate principalities and personalities, each
attempting to push the Parliament in its own direction.
Only a man of extraordinary diplomatic ability and vision
could have harnessed these contentious individuals into
a coherent unit, and Janos has hardly been that man. A
moderately capable administrator and competent
tactician, he has sharp‐tongued impatience and an
imperious demeanour that have alienated many
(including his own brother Anton). His ambitious
political agenda to bring the far‐flung worlds of his
domain under direct bureaucratic control has had little
concrete success. The end result of his efforts has been
a series of abortive coups, assassination attempts, and
bloody rebellions that have drained the strength of
entire generation of MechWarriors and made a sizable
dent in House Marik’s family wealth.
Janos’ one major concrete achievement has been the
signing of the Concord of Kapetyn, a treaty between
Marik, Kurita, and the League’s long‐hated rivals, the
prolific Liao family, which has at least temporarily
removed the threat of war along the Capellan border.
However, even this move has caused political protest
from some of the Marik’s most traditionally loyal
supporters. MPs from the Duchy of Orloff and the Sirian
Concordance have loudly contended that the closing of
the Capellan front has eliminated the League’s best
chance for booty and territorial gains.
Though Janos sired ten children by his two wives (and a
rumoured dozen or more unacknowledged bastard
offspring), this profusion of heirs has clouded rather
than clarified the question to Janos’ successor. His eldest
son Martin was assassinated in 3018. Gerald, his second
son, was tried as a co‐conspirator of Duke Anton and
executed in 3015. Of the six children that survive today,
only Duggan Marik is currently prominent in League
political or military circles and has been assumed by
many to be the heir to the Captain‐General’s baton.
However, Janos has given no public support to Duggan’s
claim, leaving others, such as Janos’ nephew General
Duncan Marik, free rein to declare their own ambitions
for the throne.
Personality: Motivations/Desires/Goals:
Since signing the Concord, Janos has escalated the
activities of SAFE along the Liao borders to keep an eye
on his new “allies”. He believes the cessation of
hostilities along one border and the establishment of
official relations with his enemy’s enemy (House Kurita)
give him the best chance to stop his recent spate of
military losses along the Steiner border.
Manner:
Janos has been deeply stung by his supporters’ lack of
faith and has withdrawn to a small circle of confidants
whom he still trusts – Duke Christopher Halas of
Oriente, Parliamentary Speaker Hector Stewart, floor
leader “Lefty” Eastwick, and his increasingly influential
mistress, Bronwen Rasfani.
Special Skills/Powers:
Only a handful of people know or suspect that Janos has
actually chosen an heir – his seventh child Thomas
Marik, who is currently stationed outside the League in
the service of ComStar as an Adept and Tech. The
announcement of this decision, whether it is made
before or after Janos’ death, is likely to astound many
and could well foment another civil war.
THE LEAGUE IN 3025
At present, the Free Worlds League contains numerous
factions, some supporting the Captain‐General and
some opposed. The provinces represented in Parliament
mirror the fragmentation of society. Below are the
larger and more influential territories.
Marik Commonwealth (pro‐government; 70 worlds)
One of the three original states in the league, the Marik
Commonwealth has remained largely immune to
balkanisation. It is the political base for the Marik’s
power, as the large, well‐trained Marik Militia is directly
responsible to the Captain‐General. Because it is located
well within the boundaries of the League, this province
has suffered little from the vast destruction of the
Succession Wars. The Commonwealth has the largest
and most closely knit delegation in Parliament.
Principality of Regulus (opposition, 48 worlds)
Regulus has a long and chequered history, One of the
three original states in the Free Worlds, the Principality
was long the wealthiest province in the League. For
centuries, however, Regulus was also the gathering
point for opposition to the government in Parliament.
The always‐contentious Regulans were independent
from the start, always placing the interests of the
Principality ahead of those of the Free Worlds, and later,
the Star League. Exacerbated by economic losses in the
th
mid‐27 century, the Regulans were in the forefront of
the Protectionist movement, and ultimately supported
the terrorist group “Scourge of Death”. The massive
retaliation by Captain‐General Geralk Marik ultimately
drove out the ruling Selaj family, fracturing the Regulan
state and its network of allies.
Although the province has never truly recovered, it still
maintains an influential place in League politics. In place
of the imperial Selaj family, numerous political machines
rule the remains of Regulus, most recently the
supremely venal Cameron‐Jones family, which seems
perfectly acclimated to the political environment of the
modern Free Worlds League.
Duchy of Andurien (opposition, 33 worlds)
Since 2366, the Free Worlds League and the Capellan
Confederation have fought over the province of
Andurien. Given to the Capellans in exchange for their
joining the Star League, Andurien fell to Marik during
the First Succession War. At that time the rule of
Andurien was granted to the Humphreys family, whose
scions Sir George and James helped forge the
rd
foundation of the Free Worlds League in the 23 and
th
34 centuries. Under the Humphreys aegis, Andurien
has become one of the strongest provinces in the
League, the bulwark of its rimward defences.
Unfortunately, the attitude of the Humphreys family
toward House Marik – and the trappings of Marik
authority – decayed rapidly over the years. Today, the
position is almost completely adversarial. During the last
few generations, the deterioration has been
exceptionally rapid, as House Humphreys has begin to
make overtures to the Periphery state of Canopus in
order to strengthen its position within and without the
Free Worlds. As long‐term rival of Oriente as well as
Marik, Andurien is something of a wild card in Free
Worlds League politics.
Duchy of Oriente (pro‐government, 40 worlds)
One of the three founding provinces of the Free Worlds,
Oriente was once the League’s technological and
industrial centre, the strongest and most unified
province in the League. The Succession Wars, however,
have ruined Oriente’s economy and industrial might. As
the most populous province on the Capellan border, it
has been the target of numerous attacks from Marik’s
longtime enemy. Generations of young Oriente men and
women have been sacrificed to the bloodshed, including
the rulers of House Oriente, House Allison, the last of
whom perished in 2845. Since the death of the last
Allison, House Halas, a MechWarrior family originally
endorsed by the Marik, has ruled the province. The
province of Oriente’s thirst for revenge has made it
among the Marik’s closest allies in Parliament. This
position has also made the Oriente MPs opponents of
the highly provincial Andurien bloc.
Stewart Commonality (pro‐government, 18 worlds)
The fourth province to join the Free Worlds, the original
Stewart Commonality was annexed after its conquest in
2295. Whatever animosity resulted from that conquest
has long since dissipated, and the proud Stewart
heritage has a long legacy of support for House Marik.
Even the long Succession Wars have not diminished the
Stewart’s loyalty for the Captain‐General. The current
leader of the Stewart delegation is Hector Stewart, the
Earl of Stewart and Speaker of Parliament.

In the late 2830s, the Marik launched an attack on the
Oriente A station, precipitating the ComStar War and a
nearly two‐year‐long Communications Interdict. Though
ComStar was fully compensated for the loss, the
suspicion between the Captains‐General and the Order
has never fully subsided. Part of this is naturally due to
the paranoia of House Marik.
The present Captain‐General harbours his own
suspicions about the activities of ComStar. It is an open
secret that ComStar was kept fully informed of the
activities of both sides during the year‐long war
between Janos’ and Anton’s forces, and Janos suspects
that the Order may have had a hand in the affair. Since
the end of hostilities, Janos has used SAFE to spread
disinformation in order to keep the Order from
infiltrating his own Intelligence operations.
SUMMARY
Psychohistorians in the ComStar order have been
prophesying the demise of the Free Worlds League
within the next generation for centuries, predicting
irreconcilable internal conflicts, the collapse of the Free
Worlds economy, and the shattering of the delicate legal
balance between the “temporary” Captains‐General and
the ever‐changing Parliament. The continuing industrial
decline of Oriente (the Marik’s chief ally outside his own
territories) and the increasing duplicity of Andurien (the
focus for opposition to the Marik’s authority) have
seemed to lend credence to this analysis.
Despite this, reports of its death have been greatly
exaggerated, to paraphrase an ancient Terran wit. Free
Worlders are fractious, parochial, contentious and
stubborn; they pledge their allegiance and follow their
leaders from Oriente to the Abbey District, and they
chafe under the continued rule from Atreus.
Nevertheless, it is important to realise that, beneath
that surface, they would rather hold the meanest
citizenship in the Free Worlds than patents of nobility in
the Lyran Commonwealth.
For example, when Anton Marik turned against his
brother in 3014, the Marik obtained substantial public
support not because Anton’s rebellion was perceived as
illegal or treasonous, but because Anton has sought help
from the hated Liao enemy. Ultimately, Anton became a
traitor in the minds of his countrymen. Because of this
attitude, the Free Worlds did not split into two opposing
parties over the rebellion, contrary to expectations.
There seems to be no indication that this condition will
change, and this humble observer believes that the Free
Worlds League will continue to exist for some time to
come.

colonies declare their independence from the Alliance, starting
the Outer Reaches Rebellion.
2238: Marik declares its independence from the Terran Alliance
2241: A Constitutional Convention on Marik adopts the proposals
of Charles Marik, forming the Marik Republic (later the Marik
Commonwealth). Oriente gains its independence and begins to
create the Federation of Orient.
2247: Formation of the Principality of Regulus.
2271: The Free Worlds League forms, the first of the non‐Terran

negotiate the Treaty of Terra.
2398: Kurnath Liao declares war on the Free Worlds League over
the Andurien planets, marking the start of the Age of War. The
campaign lasts six years and is regarded as a Free Worlds League
victory.
2398: The First Andurien War between the Free Worlds League
and the Capellan Confederation
2412: The Ares Conventions are signed.
2420: Hostilities resume between the Lyran Commonwealth and
the Free Worlds League. The introduction of the War Powers Act
limits the Captain‐General’s control of the League and the
military. The Commonwealth cannot follow up its advantage
because of its second front with the Draconis Combine.
2427: The Lyran Commonwealth turns its attentions back to the
Free Worlds League.
2439: Scientists on New Earth unveil the first BattleMech, the
MCK‐5S Mackie.
2459: The Lyran Commonwealth first uses BattleMechs, smashing
Marik troops on Loric. Captain‐General Geralk Marik is crushed by
a Lyran ‘Mech.
2462: Defectors from the Commonwealth BattleMech plant on
Alarion give the Free Worlds League schematics and technical
notes on the Lyran ‘Mech program. A Marik defector in turn leaks
this information to the Capellan Confederation.
2470: The Free Worlds League use BattleMechs for the first time
during clashes on Alula Australis.
2475: Gathering a fleet in the Oriente system, Captain‐General
Carlos Marik prepares to attack the Terran Hegemony. Hegemony
intelligence services get wind of the planned assault and a
Hegemony fleet destroys the Marik forces at anchor. After this
debacle, Brion Marik stages a coup and deposes his older brother,
who is certified mentally unstable.
2478: Director Theodore Cameron of the Terran Hegemony and
Captain‐General Brion Marik of the Free Worlds League negotiate
a peace treaty.
2528: The Second Andurien War breaks out between the Free
Worlds League and the Capellan Confederation.
2530: The Magistracy of Canopus forms.
2571: The Star League is formally established. Many view the era
of the First Star League as a golden age crowned with social,
technological and economic marvels. The reality is less rosy;
considerable conflict still existed and many areas still suffered
hardships. Considering what followed, however, this view of the
early Star League years has a certain validity by comparison.
2575: The Star League issues the Pollux Proclamation, demanding
that the Periphery states join the League. The Periphery states
refuse, triggering the Reunification War.
2577: The Taurian Concordat launches a preemptive strike against
Star League forces. The Reunification War officially starts when
the Star League declares war on the Periphery states. [Captain‐
General Marion Marik leads the SLDF Seventh Corps against the

Captain‐ General Terrence Marik and many members of House
Marik.
2679: Selaj family implicated in Scourge of Death attacks. Free
Worlds forces raid Magistracy of Canopus and other local
Periphery worlds in a hunt for the Selaj.
2729: Elise Marik and her loyalists dissolve Parliament and arrest
many MPs, sparking a civil war.
2734: Free Worlds League civil war ends with the Treaty of
Verona. Bertram, son of Elise, is named Captain‐General and
Council Lord.
2738: Jonathan Cameron dies, succeeded by Simon Cameron as
First Lord of the Star League. Aleksandr Kerensky is named
Commander‐in‐Chief of the SLDF.
2751: Simon Cameron dies in an apparent accident on the
asteroid of New Silesia in the Star’s End system of the Rim Worlds
Republic. His young son, Richard Cameron, becomes First Lord of
the Star League, with General Aleksandr Kerensky named as his
regent.
2766: Stefan Amaris stages a bloody coup to seize control of the
Hegemony and the Star League. He executes Richard Cameron.
The Council Lords refuse to accept Amaris as First Lord, but
neither do they support Kerensky and the SLDF in their efforts to
liberate Terra.
2779: Stefan Amaris surrenders to the SLDF after a bitter
campaign.
2784: Having gathered most of the surviving SLDF, Kerensky leads
a massive exodus into the Periphery and beyond. Parliament
passes Resolution 288, granting the Captain‐General broad
powers “for the duration of the crisis.”
2785: Start of the First Succession War. Kenyon Marik declares
Ares Conventions violated and claims the right to respond in kind.
He and his successors prosecuted the War with fire and
determination. No holds were barred; totally unrestricted warfare
includes widespread use of chemical, biological, nuclear and
orbital weaponry. The gains, though considerable, are shattered
by these weapons.
2830 Start of the Second Succession War. With the horrors of the
First Succession War still fresh, the Second was a more restrained
affair, but various political and military disasters left the Free
Worlds League weak and cost it almost all of its First Succession
War gains.
2837: Liao troops land on Cursa, allegedly in reaction to a secret
message sent by the FWLM via ComStar. Charles Marik orders the
Oriente HPG destroyed in response. ComStar counters with a
Communications Interdict. Lacking command and control, the
FWLM is thrown into disarray, and loses almost all the gains of the
First Succession War over the next eighteen months.
2866: Start of the Third Succession War. The long haul of the Third
Succession War more resembled a series of smaller conflicts than
a single war. Of considerably lower intensity that the First and
Second Succession Wars, it saw a return to something like the
Ares Conventions. By its end, many campaigns had devolved into
small‐unit actions rather than regimental operations.
2867: A Marik assassin using stolen plans of the secret passages in
the Royal Palace on Tharkad attempts to kill Archon Elizabeth
Steiner. The BattleMechs guarding the Throne Room stop him.
Political fallout from the attempt prompts a League
rapprochement with House Kurita.
2997: Free Worlds forces attack Hesperus II. They are defeated by
the Fifteenth Lyran Guards, commanded by Colonel Katrina
Steiner (Tenth Battle of Hesperus). The Commonwealth attacks
the Marik world of Kalidasa, using three of the regiments
previously guarding Hesperus II. The assault bogs down. With the
Hesperus garrison under‐strength, Marik sends four ‘Mech
regiments to attack Hesperus II (Eleventh Battle of Hesperus). The
Eridani Light Horse defeated the League advance.
3000: [April] Unknown forces raid Kalidasa’s ‘Mech factory. The
assault is eventually traced to the Federated Suns, prompting
SAFE to stage a covert six‐year campaign against Davion targets,
passing blame onto House Liao.
3002: Anton Marik becomes commander of the Capellan front and
launches assaults against Menkalinan and new Canton, both of
which bog down.
3003: Willis Crawford, an ally of Anton Marik and the commander
of the Solaris debacle, is tried and executed for incompetence and
insubordination.
3006: Thomas Marik, son of Janos, enters ComStar.
3014: Anton Marik rallies his forces and proclaims himself
Captain‐General. Civil war breaks out in the Free Worlds League.
Andurien, Regulus and Sirius refuse to side with Anton. Regulus
and Sirius eventually side with Janos, but Andurien remains
neutral.
3015: Anton Marik orders Jaime Wolf to disperse the Dragoons
among his troops. Wolf refuses. Anton Marik arrests Joshua Wolf
and 27 other members of the Dragoons for treason. They are later
executed. Among those killed are Jaime Wolf’s wife and two
daughters. Wolf’s Dragoons descend on New Delos, led by the
Black Widows. Anton Marik is killed and his troops annihilated.
The rebellion ends. House Marik employs Wolf’s Dragoons.
3019: Wolf’s Dragoons, working for the Free Worlds League, raid
Hesperus II (Thirteenth Battle of Hesperus). They come within
miles of their objective before being forced to retreat.
3020: Katrina Steiner issues her famous Peace Proposal to the
leaders of the other four Houses. None but Hanse Davion take her
seriously. Secret negotiations begin between Houses Steiner and
Davion.
3022: [13 October] In response to the alliance between the
Federated Suns and the Lyran Commonwealth, Houses Liao, Marik
and Kurita sign the Concord of Kapteyn to form their own alliance.
3025: End of the Third Succession War.
 THE FREE WORLDS LEAGUE MILITARY
The Free Worlds League can currently muster
approximately 60 full ‘Mech regiments (including
contract mercenaries) and about 700 regiments of
infantry, armour, aerospace support, naval, local
garrison and special services personnel. Of these forces,
however, only about 40 percent of the ‘Mech units and
50 percent of the non‐‘Mech units are under the direct
control of the Captain‐General. The remainder of the
units are provincial forces, whose primary allegiances lie
with the leader of their planetary ruling House, and
whose availability to the League war effort varies from
Captain‐General to Captain‐General and even from year
to year.
The Captain‐General’s chief administrative and planning
body is known officially as the League Central
Coordination and Command (LCCC), and colloquially as
the “seven sons of Solon” or the “dark circle”. This body
is responsible for the strategic planning and support of
all military operations.
MILITARY UNIFORMS
The garb of the League’s military forces is decidedly not
uniform. Each of the League’s three major provincial
powers – Marik, Oriente and Andurien – has evolved its
own clothing traditions, styles and colors. The situation
is further complicated by the fact that many warriors
find standard issue uniforms “confining” or
“inadequate”, and improvise their own personal battle
garb. When seen together on a parade ground, the
effect is not unlike the billilboo bird (the Regulan
peacock) showing its plumage – a shimmering profusion
of colors that leaves the unsuspecting onlooker dazed
and confused.
Consequently, inexperienced enemy reconnaissance
patrols often have difficulty identifying Marik forces.
Uniforms of the Free Worlds League Military

RANK STRUCTURE
Within the provinces of the Free Worlds League, there is
considerable variation in the organisation of military
ranks and titles. In the course of seven centuries,
numerous Captain‐Generals have sought in vain to
impose a regularised scheme. The traditions built up

MechWarriors
MechWarriors of the Free Worlds League wear uniforms
resembling those of the other Successor States. The
extremely hot environment inside the ‘Mech cockpit
forces the MechWarrior to wear a cooling jacket, which
covers the torso. A wide utility belt with the eagle of the
Free Worlds League encircles his waist. Units allow
MechWarriors to stylize their neurohelmets however
they desire; most, however, sport the eagle on the front.
Biofeedback apparatus, connected to various parts of
the body, plugs into the back of the neurohelmet.
Conventional Troops
Infantry, artillery and armoured crew uniforms differ
less between provinces than those of other branches of
the military. All such troops, regardless of provincial
affiliation, wear a full‐length coverall covered by a
combat vest, helmet, gloves, and boots. The League‐
issue boots are made of leather or tham‐hide with thick
rubber soles and extend almost to the knee.
Fighter Pilots
Free Worlds League Aerospace Pilots wear a jumpsuit
that totally covers the body. Interwoven in the suit are
many sensors and regulators that ensure that high‐g
maneuvers have no ill effects on the pilot’s body.
Although lightweight, the suit is extremely thick to
protect the pilot from the frequent jostling inside the
cockpit. Naturally, the colors and frills of the uniform
depend on the pilot’s principality.
Support Personnel
Tech, astechs and other support personnel wear the
same basic garb. The outfit consists of a yellow
synthweave coverall, which is thick enough to protect
the wearer from acid spills but thin enough to allow
ease of movement and comfort while working in stifling
environments. The coverall has many pockets and loops
to hold tools, small parts and portable computers.
UNIT STRUCTURE
The structure of individual League units varies according
to the branch of service involved, as described below.
BattleMech
A full‐strength regiment consists of 108 BattleMechs, 18
AeroSpace Fighters, and a full complement of support
personnel (Techs, Scouts, Engineers, etc). Regiments are
commanded by Colonels, with battalions under the
command of a Captain or Major.
Infantry
Infantry divisions consist of roughly 8,000 soldiers and
officers, ordered into either four or five regiments.
Division commanders are generally colonels, with
Lieutenant Colonels commanding regiments. Gun
batteries are normally assigned at the battalion level.
Armor
Armour units vary widely in size, depending on the
composition of units assigned to them. Heavy tank
regiments consist of 60‐80 tanks, their crew and repair
technicians. Light tank/patrol regiments consist of
between 100‐120 combat and reconnaissance vehicles.
Both type of units contain a total complement of 1,200‐
1,600 men, under the command of a Major or Force
Commander.
Aerospace
Aerospace units (JumpShips, DropShips and Aerospace
Fighters are still organised under the official term
“fleets”, even though the term has had little practical
meaning since the destruction during the Second
Succession War of the FWLS Pleiades and FWLS
Arcturus, the last surviving star cruisers of the once‐
magnificent Marik warship flotilla.
MILITARY EQUIPMENT
The Free Worlds League was never a leader in Successor
State military production, though its output of Merchant
and Explorer class JumpShips and Fury, Triumph, and
Condor Class DropShips was second to none. Instead,
the League always relied on its trading acumen, to
ensure that its borders were defended with the most
up‐to‐date equipment available.
The Free Worlds League has neither the active
technological strivings of House Davion, the raw
industrial and natural resource base of House Steiner, or
the extreme centralisation of power of House Kurita. As
a result, House Marik’s ‘Mech and conventional force
firepower has steadily weakened, leaving the League
increasingly vulnerable to assault. The Marik’s push to
reopen military trade with the Capellans and Andurien’s
efforts to rebuild the BattleMech production facility on
Irian will only partially stem this tide.
‘Mech Production
The Free Worlds presently has 17 fully or partly
operational ‘Mech production facilities. Another seven
production lines are currently shut down (due to
component shortages) or disabled. Twenty‐four
different ‘Mech types are currently manufactures in the
League, with its most common being Stingers, Wasps,
Orions, Griffins, Hermes IIs, Locusts, Wolverines and
Warhammers.
As previously noted, the Free Worlds League has had a
serious shortage of assault ‘Mech production capacity
for the past 20‐25 years. In 3025, League plants have
only four active production lines of this type. As a result
of this problem, the League’s assault battalions have
become increasingly populated with Orions,
Warhammers, and other lighter ‘Mechs, placing them at
a distinct disadvantage against equivalent units from the
Lyran Commonwealth, which are well stocked with new
Zeuses and Goliaths.
League manufacturers that support the ‘Mech
production industry are in better shape than the primary
producers themselves. The Oriente and Leyda ‘Mech
repair facilities, which served the Star League Regular
Army during the Reunification War, still remain among
the most efficient repair depots in the galaxy.
Even in these sectors, however, problems prevail. The
Free Worlds League has had a chronic shortage of new
and replacement PPCs for almost a century,, which has
forced it to replace PPCs with LRMs or heavy lasers on
several of its ‘Mechs. At present, the one operational
PPC plant at Campbelton cannot come close to meeting
demand, which has driven Marik to cement a risky trade
agreement with Liao for 500 PPCs from the Ceres Metals
plant on Sarna. Both SAFE and ROM agents have
reported a large number of new PPCs sighted during
Andurien military maneuvers on Xanthe III. Speculation
is that the long inactive Magna Metals PPC factory on
Lopez has been secretly reactivated, and Andurien has
stockpiled its output in violation of Resolution 288.
Like every other Successor State, the League also
occasionally lacks gyros, replacement myomers, and
reactor shielding. Recently a large number of shielding
failures has prompted the Ministry of Energy to
investigate possible improprieties in the production
practices of the Kerr‐McGinniss plant on Umka. This has
partially satisfied the company’s small but vocal
opposition, whose rallying cry “A thousand years of bad
press can’t be all wrong!” may bear more than a germ of
truth.
AeroSpace Craft Production
Even though the League has suffered substantial losses
to its AeroSpace production capacity during the
Succession Wars, it still maintains its reputation as “The
Gateway to the Stars”. The League has ten active
DropShip/JumpShip manufacturing facilities, and eight
other factories manufacturing AeroSpace Fighters.
The Free Worlds retains only three facilities (at
Clipperton, Tamarind and Loyalty) capable of producing
a Star Lord or Monolith JumpShip, and only a handful of
Techs who possess the technological know‐how to
supervise such a complex operation. Following the lead
of House Davion, Janos Marik has convinced Parliament
to fund the creation of a University of Science to prevent
these skills from completely dying out.
Because of the complex nature of the technologies
involved, most replacement parts for JumpShips,
DropShips and Aerospace Fighters are manufactured at
the primary production facilities. One notable exception
to this rule is Forerunner, A.G., a longtime producer of
high‐quality jumpsails. However, the sails are prone to
maintenance problems, keeping the League’s drydock
facilities busy.
Other Military Equipment
The Galleon light tank, backbone of the League’s armour
battalions, is produced in large quantities at three
facilities. Both the M4T laser rifle (produced by Austen
Vale Ordnance) and the more recently designed
Derenforth rifle (manufactured by Armstrong Industries)
have had spotty battlefield records. Most infantry
commanders prefer to outfit their men with Steiner or
Kurita laser rifles, leading to an active black market in
such weapons.
STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES
The state of the Free World League’s military forces in
3025 mirrors the League’s current status within the
Inner Sphere. As the preeminent builder of new and
reconditioned DropShips and AeroSpace Fighters, the
Captain‐General and his provincial “allies” field the most
flexible and most mobile armed force remaining in the
post‐Star League galaxy. The actual size and might of
Marik’s ‘Mech and conventional armour units, however,
cannot match up against those of the other Successor
States.
Except for the period between 2953‐68, when it
controlled the Liao Atlas and Victor production facility
on Carver V, the only new assault ‘Mechs produced by
the Free Worlds League during the past century have
been Awesomes, BattleMasters, and Goliaths. As a
result, the League’s regular regiments have become
increasingly dominated by medium, 45‐60 ton ‘Mechs
like the Phoenix Hawk, the Hunchback and the home‐
grown Hermes II. Their armour units usually consist of
light support vehicles like the 30‐ton Galleon tank. This
mix of units allows the Free Worlds to respond quickly
to opportunities along its borders to conduct rapid,
quick‐strike raids behind enemy lines. Nevertheless,
they are ill‐suited for close, pitched battles against
tightly massed forces and have had spotty success in
full‐scale invasions of enemy worlds.
The separation of forces into League and provincial units
has turned major military operations into administrative
nightmares and made coordination a virtual
impossibility. Conversely, this provincial self‐reliance,
coupled with frequent civil unrest, has prompted the
League’s major worlds to maintain garrisons in a state of
readiness seldom seen in the other four Successor
States. The net result has been a military structure
capable of defending its own territories, often in the
face of extraordinary opposition, but which has been
less successful in attaining the type of conquests
required to win the Succession Wars.

The 6 is clearly the shining gem of the Marik Militia.
Specially designed for major invasion and assault
operations, it carries enough aerospace firepower to
rule the planetary skies in most engagements and has
the enviable luxury of fielding three full‐strength
battalions of assault ‘Mechs. The aptly names Death
Watch Brigade, an elite assault battalion, is especially
effective when held in reserve and committed to the
fray when a weak spot in the enemy line is exposed.
Colonel Ames‐Marik, the swarthy scion of one of the
Marik clan’s oldest cadet lines, is an efficient but rather
colorless man who seems to be interested only in doing
his job and being left in peace between assignments.
Indeed, with the promotion of the unit’s crusty former

st
wiry veteran who rose to prominence during the 1 ’s
th
furious two‐day duel with the 17 Skye Rangers in the
Battle of Kendrew’s Crossing. Tomaso is a stern
disciplinarian, who expects his men to keep their ‘Mechs
and gear as well‐maintained as his own Orion. Despite
his gruffness, he is well‐respected by his men because
he sets the same rules for officers, MechWarriors and
support personnel alike, and judges his men by results
rather than personalities. For example, to lead the
Eastern Star Strike Battalion he chose Major Vic “The
Ripper” Davis. Davis is little more than an animal off the
battlefield, a crude and sadistic boor whose violent
temper has propelled him into countless bar fights and
duels, but he is also the best pilot in the unit. His battle
instincts seem infallible, and his bravery in the cockpit
his battered Cyclops has been demonstrated time and
time again.

The 4th Hussars is a light, quick‐strike force best used
for recon and deep penetration raids. The unit possesses
a substantial number of Hermes lis equipped with Irian

communications systems. The unit's Techs are justly
proud of their ability to keep these delicate systems
operational, which even some members of the current
IBM technical design staff cannot match.
The unit's commander, Gary "Lights" Carter, is an
enigmatic man of 34 who is equally loved and hated by
the MechWarriors who fight under his banner. On the
one hand, he is a savvy tactician who has learned well
the tactics of Lyran and Capellan units and has been able
to use this knowledge to outguess his enemy on the
battlefield. On the other hand, he is a shameless
publicity hound, who never misses an opportunity to
blow his own horn to vidtape war correspondents. His
nickname, a derisive short form of the old Terran video‐
maker's cry "Lights! Camera! Action! ," is testimony to A Wyvern medium ‘Mech advances against hostile fire

CREATING SCENARIOS
This section provides additional rules and tables that
players can use to quickly generate BattleTech scenarios.
Using this system, players can generate relatively
balanced scenarios in short order. By combining the
various scenario types with mixes of units and
mapsheets, players can create a nearly infinite number
of different scenarios.
BATTLE VALUE SYSTEM:
The Battle Value (BV) system provides a numerical
rating (a “point system”) that represents the damage
capabilities and survival potential of every BattleTech
unit. BV can be with this section to generate an even
more balanced scenario, increasing every player’s
enjoyment of the game.
Battle Values are provided for all units listed in this Army
Report, These assume the unit is manned by a
MechWarrior or vehicle crew with Regular skills. If the
crew quality is changed, the BV of that unit needs to be
recalculated; rules to do so are provided below.
GENERAL RULES
Unless otherwise noted in the specific rules for each
scenario type, the following rules apply to all BattleTech
scenarios created with this system.
NUMBER OF PLAYERS
The mission‐generation rules are written for two‐player
scenarios. If more than two individuals are playing,
simply divide all the players into two opposing teams.
Players can use these rules to set up games involving
three or more sides, but such games tend to get
complicated and the players must determine how to
apply the rules in various situations.
SET‐UP
1. First, choose a scenario type
2. Next, select and place the mapsheets
3. Then determine the force composition
4. Finally both players roll 2D6 to begin.
The player with the higher result chooses his home map
edge—the edge of the map where his units will enter.
The opposite edge becomes the opposing player’s home
map edge. A player’s units can safely exit the map only
through that player’s home edge. Roll Initiative for the
first turn per standard rules. All units start play off the
map, unless a specific scenario states otherwise. A
player’s units may enter the map on any hex along the
player’s home edge, regardless of terrain, provided the
unit can legally enter that hex. Each unit must enter the
map on a full hex nearest the home edge, and that hex
counts as its first hex of movement.
TYPES OF SCENARIOS
The following paragraphs contain brief descriptions and
victory conditions for each type of scenario. Each
description includes the special rules used to play that
scenario type, along with guidelines for force
composition and victory conditions.
Note: Many of the scenarios mention using equal
numbers of units. This is a general rule of thumb to help
balance a scenario that applies to an equal number of
the same type of units. For example, if Player A has four
’Mechs and Player B has four combat vehicles, most
likely Player A will have an unfair advantage. To correct
this problem, players should work to make sure that
each side has an appropriate number of the same type
of units when choosing and assigning forces
STANDUP FIGHT
In a stand‐up fight, the simplest and most common
scenario, two forces of roughly equal size square off
against each other. Only one side leaves the field alive.
Force Composition: Both sides should have the same
number of units.
Battle Value: If you are using the BV system, each side
should have an equal allotment of points. For example,
an appropriate number of points for each side in a
lance‐on‐lance battle is 4,000 to 6,000 points.
Victory Conditions: The scenario ends when all the units
on one side have been destroyed or retreated off the
map. The surviving side at the end of the scenario wins.
HOLD THE LINE
In a hold‐the‐line scenario, the defending player must
fend off a larger attacking force. The defending units
may not intentionally leave the boundaries of the
playing area for any reason.
Force Composition: Set the attacking player’s force at
twice the size of the defender’s force. Players may use
any size forces they wish, as long as the attacker’s force
is twice as large as the defender’s. Set the experience
levels of the defending player’s forces at one level
higher than those of the attacker. For example, if the
attacking force consists of regular units, the defender
uses veteran units.
Battle Value: If you are using the BV system, the point
value of the defending force equals that of the attacking
force, though the defending force must be only half as
large as the attacking force. In addition, each defending
unit is upgraded one skill level for free (eg. Green to
Regular, Regular to Veteran, Veteran to Elite), rather
than the experience‐level increase.
Victory Conditions: The scenario ends when all the units
on one side have been destroyed or retreated off the
map.
If the defenders destroy a number of opposing units
equal to or greater than the number of defending units
that started the scenario, the defending player wins. For
example, if the defending player begins with a single
lance (four units), he can claim victory if he manages to
destroy four or more attacking units. In all other cases,
the player whose forces survive or control the map at
the scenario’s end wins.
EXTRACTION
In an extraction scenario, the attacking player attempts
to extract a target, such as a secret weapon, an
important diplomat or a computer memory core, from
behind the defender’s lines. After the players roll dice
and select their home map edges, the attacker secretly
chooses a target hex for the extraction. The target hex
must be within four hex rows of the defender’s home
edge and cannot be within four hexes of any other map
edge. The attacker then writes down the target hex’s
number and mapsheet name on a slip of paper, which
he folds and gives to a neutral party for safekeeping (or
the defending player can simply put the paper in his
pocket without looking at it).
The attacking player can reveal the target hex to the
defender during any End Phase, but must reveal the
target hex if an attacking unit ends the turn in the target
hex. Any attacking unit can pick up the extraction target
by occupying the target hex during an End Phase. In
addition, a unit that retrieves the target can pass it to
any friendly unit in the same hex or an adjacent hex
during any End Phase.
If a unit carrying the extraction target is destroyed, place
the slip of paper in the hex previously occupied by the
unit. Any unit in play can retrieve the target by
occupying the target hex during any End Phase.
Force Composition: Both sides start with an equal
number of units.
Battle Value: If using the BV system, each side should be
worth an equal number of points.
Victory Conditions: If the attacker can move a unit
carrying the extraction target off his home map edge, he
wins the scenario. Otherwise, the defender wins.
BREAKTHROUGH
In a breakthrough scenario, the attacking player’s forces
have become trapped behind enemy lines. To reach
safety, the units must cross the map and break through
the defender’s forces. Use one more mapsheet than the
standard single map for every four units. For example, if
eight units will be in play, use three mapsheets rather
than two. If you have fewer than the needed number of
mapsheets, simply use all available mapsheets. Place the
mapsheets in a single, long row with their short edges
touching.
Next, both players roll 2D6. The player who gets the
higher result may choose to play the defender or the
attacker. The attacker then chooses one of the narrow
edges of the map as the place from which his forces will
enter. The attacker’s home edge is the one opposite the
entry edge. The attacker’s objective is to exit his forces
at his home map edge.
The defender may set up his forces in any hexes on the
map.
Force Composition: Both sides should have the same
number of units.
Battle Value: If using the BV system, each side should be
worth the same number of points.
Victory Conditions: The scenario ends when all the
defending units have been destroyed or retreated off
the map, or when all attacking units have retreated,
been destroyed or been crippled. Units become crippled
when they lose one or more legs or their gyros are
destroyed. Attacking units may intentionally exit the
map only at their home edge; a unit exiting from any
other edge has retreated.
If all the attacking units survive and exit at their home
edge, the attacking player wins a Decisive victory. If all
the attacking forces are destroyed or crippled, or none
exit at their home edge, the defending player wins a
Decisive victory. If the players meet neither of these
conditions, consult the Breakthrough Victory Points
Table to determine each player’s Victory Points.
Breakthrough Victory Points Table
Attacking Player
Each attacking unit that safely exits at home 2VP
edge
Each defending unit destroyed 1VP
Defending Player
Each attacking unit destroyed or crippled 3VP
Each attacking unit forced to retreat off the map 2VP
The player with the most points wins a Marginal
victory.If both players score the same number of Victory
Points, the scenario ends in a draw.
CHASE
In a chase scenario, the attacker’s forces must race
across the map to reach their DropShip before a larger
force of pursuing defenders can reach them. Chase
scenarios use the same rules as breakthrough scenarios,
with the following exceptions. The defending player
does not deploy his forces until Turn 2. During Turn 1,
attacking units may enter and move unopposed per
standard rules. The defending units enter during the
Movement Phase of Turn 2, from the same map edge as
the attacking units.
Force Composition: Set the defender’s force at twice
the size of the attacking force. For example, if the
attackers form a single lance, the defending force should
contain two lances.
Battle Value: Under the BV system, the defending force
should be worth twice the point value of the attacker’s
force.
USING MAPSHEETS
Before selecting mapsheets, determine how many you
want to use. For most BattleTech play, an appropriate
ratio is one mapsheet for every four units. For example,
a scenario that pits one lance of attackers against one
lance of defenders (eight units total) works best with
two mapsheets. A scenario that pits one company of
attackers against a company of defenders (twenty‐four
total units) works best with six mapsheets. Different
scenarios may work best with other mapsheet/unit
ratios, so check the scenario type description.
SELECTING MAPSHEETS
To begin selecting mapsheets, the players roll 2D6. The
player with the higher result picks one mapsheet of their
choice from those mapsheets available to the players.
The other player then selects a mapsheet from those
remaining. The players continue to alternate choosing
mapsheets until the number required have been
selected.
LAYING OUT MAPSHEETS
To begin laying out mapsheets, the players roll 2D6. The
player with the higher result places the first selected
mapsheet on the table or floor. The other player then
places the next selected mapsheet. The players continue
to alternate laying out the remaining mapsheets.
Each mapsheet must be placed with one of its short
edges touching the short edge of a mapsheet already
placed or with one of its long edges touching the long
edge of a mapsheet already placed. In addition, unless
players agree otherwise or the specifics of a scenario call
for an unusual set‐up, the mapsheets must form a
continuous rectangular or square playing area. Within
these and any guidelines provided in the scenario type
description,
BALANCING GAMES BASED ON
BATTLE VALUE
Battle Value is most useful when comparing forces of
similar sizes – eg. One ‘Mech, lance or company against
another ‘Mech, lance or company. As long as the
number of units, or sum of the Battle Value of the units,
on both sides is within 10% of each other, then the
battle can be considered balanced.
Not all BattleMechs are created equal – some are more
powerful than others. A heavy lance will have an
advantage over a medium lance in most circumstances.
Similarly, not all MechWarriors are created equal, either
– an elite MechWarrior can use a lighter ‘Mech to clean
up an assault, in the right circumstances.
Example: Alex’s 2nd Company, 2nd Battalion, 4th
Fusiliers of Oriente are having combat with Chris’ DCMS
forces of the 1st Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Sword of
Light. The BV of Alex’s company is 11,983; the BV of
Chris’ company is 12330. As these are within 10% of
each other, no adjustments are required.
Example 2: Alex’s recon lance (BV 2337) ends up facing
Chris’ medium lance (BV 3,900) If an even fight is
desired, then it will be necessary to increase the strength
of Alex’s forces.
MODIFYING THE BV OF A UNIT
All BV values are given assuming that the pilot of the
unit has Regular skills. You can increase (or decrease)
the BV of a unit by increasing the skill level of the pilot
by the following values:
• Regular to Elite BV x2.1
• Regular to Veteran BV x1.5
• Regular to Green BVx0.85
Example: In order to help balance the scenario, Chris
elects to make 2 of the MechWarriors in his medium
lance have Green skill levels. This reduces his lance total
BV to 2607. Alex then elects to make all his recon lance
pilots Veterans, which increases his lance total BV to
3506. As these are now within 10% (360) of each other,
and agreeable to both sides, the battle may now
commence – Alex pitting his hardened veterans’ skills
against the heavier opponents facing them.
EQUIPMENT AVAILABLE TO THE FREE WORLDS LEAGUE MILITARY, 3025
The Random Assignment Tables on page 18 include
those unit types found in more or less every regiment of
the Free Worlds League Miliitary. However, they do not
list all types of equipment which a League BattleMech or
vehicle unit may include. The section below provides
more details on the less frequently seen equipment also
fielded by the FWLM.
COMMON, UNCOMMON AND RARE
For the sake of this Army Report, BattleMechs and
vehicles are classified into three groups based on the
likelyhood of encountering them in the FWLM: common,
uncommon and rare units.
• Common units ‐ featured on the FWLM 3025
RATs above, and highlighted like this below ‐
tend to be manufactured in the Free Worlds,
and can reasonably be found in any FWLM
unit. It is relatively easy to obtain ammunition,
spares, and whole replacement units for
common units.
• Uncommon units ‐ those listed below, but not
highlighted ‐ may have been captured,
converted from factory standard, welded
together by battle salvage, etc, and are much
less likely to be encountered in League forces.
While not impossible, it is much harder to find
spare parts, let alone replacements for
uncommon units.
• Rare units – those not listed below. Such units
are normally impossible to make, maintain or
even obtain in the Free Worlds League.
A fair way to ‘spice up’ a FWLM unit either rolled from
the RATs, or assembled from the RATs by battle value, is
to use these guidelines:
• For every four common ‘Mechs or vehicles
used by one player in a game, one can be
swapped for an uncommon variant of the
same unit.
• For every twelve common units used by one
player in a game, one can be swapped for a
different uncommon ‘Mech or vehicle of the
same tonnage.
Example: take the 1st Company, 3rd Battalion, 4th Marik
Militia shown on page 19. Herb, playing this force, could
reasonably swap his Hunchback HBK‐4G, for the HBK‐3P
variant, as long as he didn’t swap any other ‘Mechs in
his command lance. He could also choose to swap the
Awesome AWS‐8Q for a Victor VTR‐9A – but not for a
Cyclops CP‐10‐Q, which is 10 tons heavier, or for a King
Crab KGC‐0000, which is not available to Marik
MechWarriors.
(Note: at the end of the day, your game of BattleTech is
your game. You’re free to allow whatever units appear
in your games, provided both players agree. If Herb
really wanted to field a King Crab as one of his units, and
his opponent Joel is agreeable given he can balance his
force’s BV accordingly, then there’s no problem.
Full details of these ‘Mechs and vehicles, and all their
variants, can be found in Technical Readout: 3039, and
Record Sheets: 3039.
