| Description: |
Adventures beyond the frontier...
A hundred years ago, Primus Adrienne Sims of ComStar suffered nightmare visions of a dire threat to ComStar and the Successor States - hordes of strange monsters from beyond known space, invading the Inner Sphere to destroy it. These visions so troubled the Primus that she created the Explorer Corps, a division of ComStar dedicated to probing the Deep Periphery, to hunt down the threat she had forseen.
A century later, the Clan invasion made the nightmare come true - and gave the Explorer Corps a vital role in the Inner Sphere's survival. With the backing of the Draconis Combine, the Explorer Corps has expanded its operations and embarked on a massive hunt for the Clan homeworlds. Small mercenary units from all over the Inner Sphere are joining the search, hired by the Explorer Corps for secret missions into the Deep Periphery - missions from which few return...
The Explorer Corps sourcebook describes the Explorer Corps' history and structure, including key personalities, operational procedures, and the Corps' efforts to locate the Clan homeworlds before the Truce of Tukayyid expires. Also included is background material on life aboard a 31st-century spacecraft and descriptions of various colonies and Clan bases in the Deep Periphery and other inhabitants of that little-known region of space. Special game rules for BattleTech, MechWarrior and BattleSpace are designed to enhance campaigns involving space travel or planetary exploration; new material includes rules for creating new solar systems and planets to explore, as well as new types of vehicles and 'Mechs. |

Very very nice. This book gives you an inside look at the Explorer Corps. Detailing Comstar EC tatctics, technology, data, and the falbed Columbus Base. This book even contains what little is known about the fate of the crew of the Outbound Light. For those of you who love to explore the unknown, this book even has star system creation rules. A couple of dice rolls, and you have a new planet, waiting for exploration. Also included are contracts unique to Comstar and the Explorer Corps. |

A treasure trove of useful information.The historical section on the Explorer Corps makes for interesting reading,especially the Wolfnet real time discussions.But the real value of this book is the rules section with the expanded movement tables and the information on space operations.Of interest to people who want to create new states is the section on creating star systems.This is the only book so far that has that information.Also present is information on building low tech and utility mechs.Finally there is a section on working for the Corps which is useful to those who want to start new Mercenary units since the Explorer Corps hires mostly small units and is a good place for a new unit to start.At the back of the book is a section with a a handful of new vehicles and spaceships,these have been reprinted in later TROs. |
