Каталіст Гейм Лабс, поточний власник Батлтех, поділив історію на епохи та під-епохи. Продукти, що вони випускають, згруповані на цей манер. Для відображення як 1000 світових років між Внутрішньою Сферою та Кланами розділило їх, Сферо-центричні епох стало недостатньо, тому Каталіст створив окрему відповідну епоху - Епоха Домашніх Світів Кланів - у 2021 році.
Епоха | Символ | Хронологія | Роки | Опис |
---|---|---|---|---|
До Зоряної Ліги | До космічних польотів | До 1950 | Найрання згадана епоха - коли людство знаходилось лише на своїй домашній планеті - Землі. | |
Ранні космічні польоти | 1950 – 2005 | Ранні космічні польоти, обмежені кордонами Сонячної системи. Значні події включають Другу Холодну Війну та відновлення Совєцького Союзу. | ||
Зоряна Ліга | Епоха Війни (Хронологія) | 2005 – 2570 | Епоха Терранського Альянса, колонізації Внутрішньої Сфери, формування Нащадних Націй, та Епохи Війни.
К-Ф Двигун було винайдено, початку Перший Терранський Вихід в двадцятьдруге сторіччя. В 2235 спалахнуло Повстання Окраїнних Країн, Альянс програв та проголосив Декларацію про Демаркацію, надавши свободу більшості колоній та розпаливши Другий Терранський Вихід. Протягом всього тридцятьтретього та тридцятьчетвертого сторіч було створено перші незалежні міжзоряні нації на теренах Внутрішньої Сфери, і Периферію було заселено. Альянс трансформувався в більш потужний Терранський Альянс та Великі Дома започаткували свої власні імперії так як нео-феодалізм став домінуючим. Епоха Війни почалась 2398 року та продовжувалась до двадцятьшостого сторіччя. Ареські Конвенції були представлені в 2412 для регулювання воєнних дій, а 2439 року Терранська Гегемонія представила Макі, першу модель БатлМеха, таким чином розпочавши революцію воєнних дій. | |
Star League (Chronology) | 2571 – 2780 | The time of the First Star League from its founding in 2571 to the fall of the Usurper Amaris Empire in 2780.
House Cameron of the Terran Hegemony unifies the other five Inner Sphere states by 2571 and then orchestrates the Reunification War to bring the recalcitrant Periphery nations into the union. For nearly two centuries humanity is united under a single government. Advancements in science and engineering backed by the greatest military in history uphold nearly two centuries of peace and prosperity across all settled worlds. Save for minor conflicts dubbed the Hidden Wars, the SLDF rarely sees true conflict until Periphery revolts break out in 2765. These rebellions enable Stefan Amaris to destroy the Cameron dynasty and seize the Star League throne for himself, resulting in the Amaris Civil War. Although Aleksandr Kerensky and his SLDF ultimately defeat Amaris, the Hegemony and Star League are irreparably ruined. | ||
Succession Wars<ref name=ss_era>New to BattleTech? - BattleTech Eras - Succession Wars</ref> | Early Succession War (Chronology) | 2781 – 2900<ref name=ss_era/> | The collapse of the Star League is followed by two devastating Succession Wars.
Following the Star League's dissolution Kerensky and most of the SLDF leave the Inner Sphere in 2784. Within two years the five Successor States are waging total war (including heavy usage of nuclear weapons), each aiming to restore the Star League with its own dynasty at its head. The resulting First and Second Succession Wars span three generations and result in the loss of billions of lives, hundreds of worlds depopulated, and much scientific knowledge lost. ComStar emerges from the last surviving ministry of the Star League, and by the end of the era has become a quasi-religious order. Establishing itself on Terra the outwardly neutral order utilizes its monopoly on interstellar communications to manipulate the ongoing wars for its own agenda. Beginning in 2866, the Third Succession War reflects the general decay across the Inner Sphere as it is an ongoing state of low-level conflict involving small units and raids rather than large armies and massive offensives. | |
Late Succession War - LosTech (Chronology) | 2901 – 3019<ref name=ss_era/> | With much of the Star League's knowledge gone, the Third Succession War continues.
Advanced technologies have become LosTech, and in contrast to the preceding wars the Third Succession War is a constant low-intensity conflict throughout this period. Combat grows more ritualized and medieval amongst 'Mechs, with duels being fought between MechWarriors in an effort to preserve what technology remains. | ||
Late Succession War - Renaissance (Chronology) | 3020 – 3049<ref name=ss_era/> | The Third Succession War ends, House Steiner-Davion becomes the Inner Sphere's most powerful dynasty, and the Helm Memory Core is rediscovered, beginning a techno-industrial renaissance.
The status quo is upended with the marriage of Hanse Davion and Melissa Steiner and the resulting union of the Lyran Commonwealth and the Federated Suns. In the ensuing Fourth Succession War the Capellan Confederation is reduced to a rump state and the Draconis Combine suffers heavy losses. As a result of his nation's defeats Theodore Kurita reforms the Combine military with ComStar's aid and grants independence to the Free Rasalhague Republic. His efforts ensure that the nascent Federated Commonwealth fails to win a similar victory against the Combine in the War of 3039, though it remains the overwhelmingly dominant state in the Inner Sphere. By 3049 a Fifth Succession War and/or House Steiner-Davion's reestablishment of the Star League seems likely. The discovery of the Helm Memory Core in 3028, coupled with other scientific efforts, begins a technological renaissance during the next two decades. The Inner Sphere slowly begins climbing back towards Star League-era levels of technology. | ||
Clan Invasion<ref name=ci_era>New to BattleTech? - BattleTech Eras - Clan Invasion</ref> | Clan Invasion (Chronology) | 3050 – 3061<ref name=ci_era/> | Coreward of the Inner Sphere, a new faction strikes from the Deep Periphery in early 3050 and changes the Inner Sphere forever.
With superior weaponry, unique OmniMech designs, Elemental infantry, and warriors genetically bred for war, the Clans cut through all opposition. During this Operation REVIVAL the Draconis Combine and Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth lose many worlds, while the Free Rasalhague Republic is almost subsumed entirely. Eventually these invaders' origins become known: they are the descendants of the Star League-in-Exile returned to reestablish the Star League. In the climactic Battle of Tukayyid ComStar's military arm win a victory and a truce which halts the invaders for fifteen years. The Successor States frantically upgrade their armies for the inevitable hostilities while the Clans seethe at the enforced peace. ComStar undergoes reforms aimed at secularizing the organization, but dissident zealots exile themselves and form the fanatical Word of Blake in response, later seizing Terra. The next two major conflicts erupt in 3057. Clan Wolf wages the Refusal War against Clan Jade Falcon to prevent a resumption of the invasion. At the same time Operation GUERRERO results in the Free Worlds League and Capellan Confederation reclaiming worlds lost during the Fourth Succession War - and sundering the Federated Commonwealth when Katherine Steiner-Davion orchestrates the secession of the rechristened Lyran Alliance. The Battle of Coventry in 3058 leads to the Successor States forging the Second Star League, with the express purpose of ending the Clan Invasion. They accomplish this when Operation BULLDOG and Task Force Serpent conclude with the annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar. After the reborn SLDF wins the Great Refusal, the other Clans agree to end the invasion permanently. | |
Civil War <ref name=cw_era>New to BattleTech? - BattleTech Eras - Civil War</ref> | Civil War (Chronology) | 3062 – 3067<ref name=cw_era/> | While the Clan threat is ended, the new Star League does not herald a new era of peace but several wars within the Inner Sphere itself.
Taking advantage of the rift in the former Federated Commonwealth and his own realm's Xin Sheng movement, Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao continues reclaiming former Capellan worlds. His efforts culminate in the Capellan-St. Ives War which ends with the reabsorption of the St. Ives Compact into the Confederation. While Katherine Steiner-Davion secures the throne of the Davion half of her parents' realm, her tyrannical rule and tensions within both states finally erupt in 3062. The five-year FedCom Civil War between Katherine's Loyalists and Victor Steiner-Davion's Allies intent on dethroning her ravages both realms and their militaries before Katherine is finally defeated. Numerous smaller conflicts are fought around the Inner Sphere during this period, most of them derived from the larger civil war. The Jade Falcons attack the Lyran Alliance again, while the Draconis Combine finds itself mired in border wars with both Clan Ghost Bear and the Federated Commonwealth's Draconis March. During these years the Word of Blake expands its power base outward from Terra, as well as building up its military might. Dismissing the fanatics as posing little danger, the rest of the Inner Sphere does not interfere. | |
Jihad<ref name=ji_era>New to BattleTech? - BattleTech Eras - Jihad</ref> | Jihad (Chronology) | 3068 – 3080<ref name=ji_era/> | The Second Star League dissolves, prompting the Word of Blake to begin a Jihad that engulfs the entire Inner Sphere.
Acknowledging that the weak Second Star League is now purposeless, its members vote to end its existence. The Blakists impulsively react to the news by attacking Tharkad and New Avalon, beginning a war that eventually pits the Word against the rest of the Inner Sphere. The Blakists also target other capitals and important industrial worlds, create a "white-out" of the HPG network that adds to the chaos, and using their "hidden" armies carve out a Protectorate at the heart of the Inner Sphere. Multiple border wars erupt elsewhere in the Inner Sphere, and the Draconis Combine is savaged by a three-way conflict involving the Blakists, the rebel Black Dragons and Kuritan loyalists. The Captain-General of the Free Worlds League, Thomas Marik, is exposed as an imposter, destabilizing the League and leading to its fragmentation in 3079. The Invading Clans become embroiled in the Wars of Reaving that sunder them from the Homeworlds before joining in the fight against the Blakists. Eventually a coalition of nearly every major power in the Inner Sphere forms under the leadership of the mysterious Devlin Stone. Stone and his allies crush the Blakists and liberate their conquered worlds, but the Inner Sphere has suffered massive industrial and military damage, and entire worlds have been rendered uninhabitable. | |
Dark Age<ref name=da_era>New to BattleTech? - BattleTech Eras - Dark Age</ref> | Republic Age (Chronology) | 3081 – 3130<ref name=da_era/> | Devlin Stone's reforms usher in a new era of peace as the Inner Sphere rebuilds after the Jihad.
Following the Word of Blake's defeat by Stone's Coalition, Devlin Stone and David Lear form the Republic of the Sphere from the liberated worlds of the Word of Blake Protectorate. This new power at the center of the Inner Sphere leads a disarmament program that decommissions BattleMechs and other tools of warfare, downsizes armies and removes any such matériel from the hands of private individuals. Stone and Lear attempt to build a new kind of nation, with the Republic home to citizens originating from all major Houses and Clans. While raiding and some small-scale wars occur during this time, the overall state of affairs throughout the Inner Sphere is one of peace. Devlin Stone disappears in 3130 but his ideals are expected to continue upholding the status quo. | |
Dark Age (Chronology) | 3131 - 3150<ref name=da_era/> | The collapse of the HPG network opens a new age of war with massive changes to the Inner Sphere.
The chaos in the Republic of the Sphere arising from the HPG Blackout leads to the militarization of IndustrialMechs and other civilian equipment, as splinter factions fight to advance their own agendas. The Great Houses and the Clans attack the Republic and each other, with wars engulfing the entire Inner Sphere by the mid-3130s. The Republic's core systems isolate themselves via the Wall, an impenetrable barrier to JumpShips, with the remaining Republic worlds abandoned to its neighbors. The Lyran Commonwealth invades the former Free Worlds League along with Clan Wolf, which abandons its occupation zone to migrate en masse farther into the Inner Sphere. The League's former members reunite in 3139, while the Wolves turn on their allies and carve out the Wolf Empire from its new conquests. Clan Jade Falcon takes off, under the leadership of Malvina Hazen, with the Mongol Doctrine of terror warfare. The Lyran Commonwealth survives constant attacks from the Wolf Empire and Jade Falcons but is left severely weakened. The Draconis Combine undergoes a civil war ending in the annihilation of Clan Nova Cat, following which it mounts an all-out invasion of the Federated Suns that culminates in the fall of New Avalon. Attacked by the Capellan Confederation as well, the Federated Suns manages to avoid total destruction but is left on the brink of collapse. Devlin Stone emerges from cryogenic storage to resume control of the Republic, and drops the Wall in 3149 to unleash new forces upon the Republic's enemies. But despite some setbacks both Clans Wolf and Jade Falcon position themselves right on Terra's doorstep, ready to claim humanity's homeworld. | ||
ilClan<ref name="RS Clan Invasion">Record Sheets: Clan Invasion, p. 4: "BattleTech Eras"</ref> | IlClan (Chronology) | 3151 – Present<ref name="RS Clan Invasion"/> | The once-invulnerable Republic of the Sphere lies in ruins, torn apart by the Great Houses and the Clans as they wage war against each other on a scale not seen in nearly a century. Mercenaries flourish once more, selling their might to the highest bidder. As Fortress Republic collapses, the Clans race toward Terra to claim their long-denied birthright and create a supreme authority that will fulfill the dream of Aleksandr Kerensky and rule the Inner Sphere by any means necessary: the ilClan.
After the fighting on Terra ends with the Republic and Stone's downfall, Clan Wolf wins the ilClan Trial to become ilClan. Alaric Ward declares himself First Lord of a new Star League, with the Jade Falcon survivors and reborn Clan Smoke Jaguar swearing allegiance to him. As news of these events slowly spread across the Inner Sphere, numerous other wars rage. The defenseless Jade Falcon Occupation Zone becomes the Hinterlands, a zone fought over by new proto-states and adjacent powers. The Free Worlds League spars with its neighbors as local factions within that realm begin seizing worlds from the beleaguered Wolf Empire. The Federated Suns reclaims its capital and drives the Draconis Combine out of its heartland while fighting a short war with the Taurian Concordat. A referendum on joining the new Star League plunges a divided Rasalhague Dominion into a short but brutal civil war. |

Домашні Світи Кланів | Домашні Світи Кланів (Хронологія) | 2786 – Зараз | В 2784 Генерал Олександр Керенський запустив Операція ВИХІД, та повів більшу частину Сили Оборони Зоряної Ліги з Внутрішньої Сфери на пошуки нового світу, подалі від чварів Великих Домів. Після більш ніж двох років та тисяч світових років, вони прибули на Світи Пентагону. Протягом наступних двох з половиною століть внутрішний розбрат та громадянська війна призвела до створення нового брутального суспільства - Клани. В 3049 вони повернулись до Внутрішньої Сфери із однією метою - захопити Великі Доми. |
