This is the third volume in a series of Technical Readout by [[Eras|Era]], which is designed as an introductory companion volume to go with the [[BattleMech Manual]], and thus primarily addressing new players, '''''Technical Readout: Jihad''''' is a compilation of [['Mech]] designs from ''[[Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3060]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3067]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3075]]'', ''[[Technical Readout: 3085]]'', and ''[[Technical Readout: Project Phoenix]]''.

The book's content is mostly taken verbatim from [[Technical Readout]] products that preceded it. The book is part of reorganization of the original Technical Readouts to compile them per Era. Some Mechs are not present in this book that were mentioned in early products. Unlike the first book in this series, this book does not include additional/new variants not published before.

''Denied their dream, the Blakists fought to preserve the Star League against the follies of the Great Houses, its fanaticism manifested as the Jihad: a horrific war that pitted every nation against each other.

==Notes==
* This and previous Era-themed TROs are intended as "Introduction" books for new players. {{cn}}
+
*As of this writing it isn't clear if these books are replacing original version Technical Readouts and how other units such as Combat Vehicles, Aerospace Units, ProtoMechs, and Battle Armor / Infantry will be published.
* The ''Deimos'' originally appeared in ''[[Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental]]''.
 
* The ''Griffin IIC'' entry has the stats for the ''Griffin IIC'' 4 from ''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix''.
 
* The ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' entry has the stats for the ''Phoenix Hawk IIC'' 4 from ''Technical Readout: Project Phoenix''.
