INTRODUCTION
It is ironic that in their rabid desire to conquer us and forge a new Star League, the Clans forced the Inner Sphere to create
the only thing that could save us—a new Star League. With the stroke of a pen, the Great House leaders achieved what they
had failed to accomplish through force of arms. The combined might of the Inner Sphere—united under the banner of the Star
League—moved like a whirlwind into the Smoke Jaguar occupation zone, sweeping the Jaguar forces before them. In four short
months, they reclaimed what most had thought lost forever: forty-four worlds occupied by the Clans. Hoping to deal the nal
blow to the already wounded Jaguars, Archon-Prince Victor Steiner-Davion, along with Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht and
many others, led a multinational force in a far-ranging strike against Clan Smoke Jaguar’s homeworld, Huntress.
More than a year has passed since their departure, but my calculations indicate that the task force should already be returning
to the Inner Sphere. I can conceive of no other outcome but that they will return.
All has not been quiet in their absence. The Inner Sphere united to annihilate an entire Clan, but the Star League alliance
is troubled at best. First Lord Sun-Tzu Liao is using his position to expand his realm. Tension brewing between the Federated
Commonwealth and Lyran Alliance seems certain to erupt into a full-scale war between two of the most powerful Houses in the
Inner Sphere. In addition, four Clans still hold more than one hundred fty worlds. All of this has spurred the military designers
and manufacturers of the Inner Sphere to new heights of innovation. In my 3058 report, I noted that the Draconis Combine
had begun to eld its own OmniMechs. As you will note in this latest report, all the Houses save the Federated Commonwealth
are currently constructing and elding OmniMechs. (House Davion’s lack of progress in this area must be attributed to Prince
Victor’s preoccupation with the Clans and recent absence.) Perhaps even more startling is the abundance of new weapon
systems appearing in Inner Sphere ’Mechs and vehicles. Though most of this technology has been re-engineered from captured
Clan technology, several weapon systems are unique to the Inner Sphere, attesting to the drive and ingenuity of Inner Sphere
scientists.
Many are proclaiming that the resurrected Star League will bring back the prosperity and peace of days gone by, but I have my
doubts. With the Inner Sphere (and Clans) producing more ’Mechs and introducing new technologies for military use faster than
ever before, I can only assume that continued war will result.
As always, I wish to thank the legions of ComStar personnel whose observations and painstaking research make up this report.
All our e orts would be in vain without their aid. Additionally, I pray for a speedy return of our forces. All I can do is entrust this
report to our Explorer Corps, and hope that their HPG transmission will nd my good friend Pascal and our Precentor Martial in
good health and on their way home.
