==Description==
 
==Description==
Set six years after the [[Clan Invasion]], '''''Technical Readout: 3055''''' introduces a whole set of new unit designs. The [[Inner Sphere]] sections presents new [[BattleMech]]s utilizing the enhanced technology introduced with ''TRO:3050''. The [[Clan]] sections broadens the view on the invading forces, by revealing second-line units, new [[OmniMech]] designs and [[OmniFighter]]s. In-universe, it purports to be a [[ComStar]] report dating from 3055.
+
Six years following the [[Clan Invasion]] of the [[Periphery]] and then the [[Inner Sphere]], new [[BattleMech]]s, [[OmniMech]]s and [[OmniFighter]]s have been added or identified in the numerous military arsenals. [[ComStar]]'s latest TRO introduces these new machines of war.

The 1992 ''TRO:3055'' was the last TRO to host the [[Unseen]]. As with ''TRO:3025'', ''TRO:3026'', and ''TRO:3050'', a ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Revised]]'' was later (1996) published to address this problem. In 2005, ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]'' was released to supersede the Revised edition.

==From the Back Cover==
 
{{quote|''In [[3049]], without warning, [[Aleksandr Kerensky|Kerensky]]'s heirs set upon the [[Inner Sphere]] in a savage series of battles known collectively as the [[Clan Invasion|Invasion]]. On [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Tukayyid]] the [[Com Guards]] brought the seemingly unstoppable [[Clan]] war machine to a halt. The Invasion ended as suddenly as it had begun, and left in its place an uneasy [[Truce of Tukayyid|peace]]. Both sides now had an opportunity to reassess their opponent's strengths and weaknesses and respond. By [[3055]], the first of a new breed of [[BattleMech]]s rolled off the assembly lines of the Inner Sphere, machines designed specifically to counter the technologically advanced weapons used by the Clans. Only time will tell if these new designs will be enough to turn the tide when battle is joined once again.''
