(''[[The Periphery, 2nd Edition (sourcebook)|The Periphery, 2nd Edition]]'', published in 1996, had previously been the last volume to cover these.) This was apparently the last book that [[FASA]] produced for [[BattleTech]], right before closing their doors and licensing the BattleTech rights to [[WizKids]] and [[FanPro]]. The imprint indicates the book is from 2000, but listings suggest it was actually only released in 2001.{{cn}} [[FanPro]] reprinted the book in 2003 with a slightly altered cover, and with a new production code (FanPro #10982) and ISBN (3-89064-982-3); the FanPro edition is described as a "corrected 2nd printing" in the imprint. ''Field Manual: Periphery'' introduced rules for the Rocket Launcher, a single-shot weapon, in [[Rocket Launcher 10|10]]-, [[Rocket Launcher 15|15]]-, and [[Rocket Launcher 20|20]]-point varieties. It also saw the debut of the ''[[Anubis]]'' [[BattleMech]], as well as old 'Mechs modified to use the Rocket Launchers. As with previous Field Manuals, new Periphery-specific life paths and affiliations were provided for character creation in [[MechWarrior RPG]] games. According to its preface, the book is an in-universe report by [[Precentor Martial of the Word of Blake|Precentor Martial]] [[Cameron St. Jamais]] to the [[Word of Blake]]'s shadowy "[[The Master|Master]]," dated 01 January 3064. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''Beyond the [[Great Houses]] of the [[Inner Sphere]] lies the untamed [[Periphery]]. Filled with young souls seeking adventure and freedom, the Periphery is a watershed for every stripe of humanity. This diversity has spawned powerful Inner Sphere-like political coalitions, roving pirates, one-world lesser powers and [[bandit kingdom]]s striving for legitimacy. Wild, uncivilized and deadly, the Periphery is a turbulent frontier where any warrior who dares can be king.'' ''BattleTech ''Field Manual: Periphery'' describes the various factions that make up the Periphery: [[Magistracy of Canopus]], [[Taurian Concordat]], [[Marian Hegemony]], [[Outworlds Alliance]], [[Circinus Federation]], the Lesser Periphery States, Bandit Kingdoms and the [[Deep Periphery]]. This sourcebook describes the history, military doctrine, traditions and tactics of each Periphery faction, plus special rules that reflect the exclusive capabilities of each Periphery [[regiment]], as well as new weapons and [['Mech]]s unique to the Periphery.''}} ==Contents== <div style="-moz-column-count:2;

The FanPro edition had a different ISBN. *The cover depicts an obviously modified ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' wielding what appears to be a [[hatchet|'Mech hatchet]]. The image is not captioned nor otherwise mentioned or referred to within the book. ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]'', first published in 2009, features [[Jeren Reinesblatt]] as a [[:Category: Notable Banshee Pilots|notable ''Banshee'' pilot]] in what is presumably a reference to this image. Reinesblatt is described as a pirate piloting a ''Banshee'' modified to carry a 'Mech-sized axe. ==Gallery== <gallery> File:FmpFASA1726.jpg|Original FASA cover File:Fmp.jpg|2003 FanPro reprint (corrected 2nd printing) </gallery> [[Category:Sourcebooks]]
