Notes

  • McEvedy's Folly is an independent Periphery world beyond the borders of the Marian Hegemony and the Magistracy of Canopus and appeared on maps at some point between the end of the FedCom Civil War and the Dark Age.[15]
  • It was confirmed by BattleTech Developer Øystein Tvedten via the Catalyst Game Labs Ask the Lead Developers Forum that McEvedy's Folly should in fact have been on every map from 3067 onwards until at least 3130.[22]
  • Rumors indicate potential remnants of a large military force after a long forgotten battle, which may have lent the name to the system
The amazing blinking McEvedy's Folly has by mistake been left off some post-3067 maps. It should be on all maps of that region from 3067 onwards to 3130 at least.

With regards,
Øystein
