Its unfortunate that FASA never reprinted this sourcebook. The Star League is the basis of the entire Battletech Universe, at least it was before the clans arrived. The information contained therein is incredible. It explains the relationship of the terran hegemony with the other five houses plus a complete examination of the Periphery War which led to the Aramis Usurption. The battletech information will work best the other five original house sourcebook, but this is clearly the best one. For the detailed minded people, the sourcebook goes into detail about every Star League Unit that existed before the collapse and lists what happened after the rebellion. When you take a look at those tables you realize the incredible military power of the Star League. Most units were division sized not just a single regiment. If you ever get a chance to get a copy of the book, definitely consider it.

Victor is absolutely right. Anything and everything you want to know about the Star League, and the Terran Alliance and Terran Hegemony that preceded it, is in here. I'm one of the lucky few who stumbled onto a copy of it, and it is one book I never let out of my sight.

If there is any complaint I have about it, it is the lack of detail about the Star League's naval forces, but that really is splitting hairs. It is, indeed, a crying shame that this book was never reprinted, and one can only hope that in the future, that is rectified.

I own nearly every book released for Battletech - sorry - for CLASSIC Battletech as it's now called, including a copy of Battledroids, but I consider this book to be the crown Jewel of the collection!
