Gaian Ascendancy

Considering the last Battletech thread I did, you can guess what the title of this thread means.
If you have a unit and/or side that you wish to rp in the BT universe, then post what unit you wish to rp. As I said previously, I have a full map of the Inner Sphere with all planet names. Also, I’m willing to allow custom units, so in as long as you have the national economy to reasonably back it up. If you want an example of this, look at my site to see how I structured my military to support a FT/MT setup.

I also want a strong emphasis, not on time period or type of technology used in rp play, but rather a willingness to take losses and know when to lose. And forget nuclear weapons. Af far as I know, there’s a very limited number in the Successor States, even fewer in the Periphery and the Clans never use them. That leaves ComStar and Word of Blake, and while ComStar probably wouldn’t use their such number, Word of Blake would, but even they probably have few.
Besides, BT rarely mentions it anyway. The idea is to have units fight each other, not nuke em.
Having said that, anyone that has access to the Lyran Alliance source book, mainly in regards to the unit names, so in as to assist those that want to play Lyran units, would find equal acknowledgment for running this universe idea. Otherwise I hold every other book, including ComStar, and the Mercenary book with Wolf’s Dragoons in it.
This topic by the way is permanently open, since new units from many aspects will be accepted.
And one thing, let’s try to keep parity in unit origins. That means, not all Davion or too many Clan, and too few IS. I’m not intending this as a limiter, but as a balancer. I myself as perogrative as the author, will use my own ‘Clan’ first, though I may choose a separate unit down the road to help keep things interesting.
And all RPs are directly governed by the godmodding guidelines and FT guidelines as well. Detail isn’t totally tantamount, as the idea is to have fun RPs where we shoot each other to ribbons.
So, let's get the rules down pat. Claim units first, and I'll find out where they should be stationed. Planet claims are sorta dud here, since most are already claimed by the Great Houses, The Clans, ComStar, Word of Blake, and The Periphery States. There's a few unclaimed worlds, but they're either in the deep Peripery, or in the Chaos March where 'everyone's' fighting over them anyway.
It'd be simpler to claim a unit first, and then get a planet claim later through rp. Course some premier units have their own worlds, but they if claimed, would require some spit and polish rp to justify claiming those units. Those that can't should take or create a unit of their own, and follow the auspices above.
Above all again, this is for BT battles, not planet claims. There's more than enough raids, battles, and campaigns that last months to go around. Personally I liked Tukayyid, and that was only one planet that was fought over...
...with Six Clans and several ComStar Divisions over several days. =^^=
The following is a list of known active states, where a nation claiming a unit will have that unit name followed by the owning rp nation. As you can see, there's a TON of states to claim a Regiment or Cluster.
