This book was the inaugural publication in the effort to reorganize the Technical Readouts by Era versus by Year, in an attempt to make the series more friendly to new users. ==From the back cover== {{quote|'''''Kings of the Battlefield''' ''On February 5, [[2439]], the ''[[Mackie]]'' obliterated all opposition during its first combat trial, ushering in a new era of warfare. The BattleMech—King of the Battlefield—was born. BattleMechs reached their pinnacle during the golden age of the Star League. The fall of the Star League and the Succession Wars that raged for centuries afterward took their toll and by the [[Fourth Succession War]], the technology employed on the battlefields was a mere shadow of what it once was. However, the discovery of the [[Helm Memory Core]] unlocked the technological potential to develop new BattleMechs and experimental technologies for the first time in centuries. <br/> '''Technical Readout: Succession Wars''' ''is the perfect "first Technical Readout" companion to the ''BattleMech Manual''. Combining the 'Mechs previously found in ''Technical Readout: 3039'', ''Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade'', ''Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade'', and ''Technical Readout: 3075'', this volume features some of the most common 'Mechs from the Age of War to the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, and accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, along with their most famous pilots.''}} ==Contents== <div class="desktop-3-col"> * Introduction : [[Loremaster of the Clans|Star League Loremaster]] [[Stephan Roshak]], 9 July [[3250]] * BattleMechs ** ''[[Flea]]'' ** ''[[Locust]]'' ** ''[[Mercury (BattleMech)|Mercury]]'' ** ''[[Thorn (BattleMech)|Thorn]]'' ** ''[[Commando]]'' ** ''[[Mongoose]]'' ** ''[[Falcon]]'' ** ''[[Firefly]]'' ** ''[[Hermes]]'' ** ''[[Hussar]]'' ** ''[[Javelin]]'' ** ''[[Spider]]'' ** ''[[UrbanMech]]'' ** ''[[Firebee]]'' ** ''[[Firestarter (BattleMech)|Firestarter]]'' ** ''[[Jenner]]'' ** ''[[Night Hawk]]'' ** ''[[Ostscout]]'' ** ''[[Panther]]'' ** ''[[Raven]]'' ** ''[[Spector]]'' ** ''[[Talon (BattleMech)|Talon]]'' ** ''[[Wolfhound]]'' ** ''[[Assassin]]'' ** ''[[Cicada]]'' ** ''[[Clint]]'' ** ''[[Hermes II]]'' ** ''[[Icarus II]]'' ** ''[[Sentinel]]'' ** ''[[Vulcan (BattleMech)|Vulcan]]'' ** ''[[Whitworth]]'' ** ''[[Blackjack (BattleMech)|Blackjack]]'' ** ''[[Hatchetman]]'' ** ''[[Kyudo]]'' ** ''[[Vindicator]]'' ** ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' ** ''[[Chameleon]]'' ** ''[[Crab]]'' ** ''[[Enforcer]]'' ** ''[[Galahad (BattleMech)|Galahad]]'' ** ''[[Hunchback]]'' ** ''[[Phoenix (BattleMech)|Phoenix]]'' ** ''[[Talos (BattleMech)|Talos]]'' ** ''[[Trebuchet]]'' ** ''[[Dervish]]'' ** ''[[Gladiator (BattleMech)|Gladiator]]'' ** ''[[Griffin]]'' ** ''[[Hoplite]]'' ** ''[[Kintaro]]'' ** ''[[Shadow Hawk]]'' ** ''[[Wolverine (BattleMech)|Wolverine]]'' ** ''[[Dragon]]'' ** ''[[Lancelot]]'' ** ''[[Merlin (BattleMech)|Merlin]]'' ** ''[[Quickdraw]]'' ** ''[[Bombardier]]'' ** ''[[Catapult]]'' ** ''[[Exterminator]]'' ** ''[[JagerMech]]'' ** ''[[Thunderbolt]]'' ** ''[[BattleAxe]]'' ** ''[[Cataphract]]'' ** [[Excalibur (BattleMech)|''Excalibur'']] ** ''[[Grasshopper]]'' ** ''[[Guillotine]]'' ** ''[[Shootist]]'' ** ''[[Black Knight]]'' ** ''[[Flashman]]'' ** ''[[Hammerhands]]'' ** ''[[Orion]]'' ** ''[[Awesome]]'' ** ''[[Charger]]'' ** ''[[Hatamoto-Chi]]'' ** ''[[Thug]]'' ** ''[[Victor]]'' ** ''[[Zeus]]'' ** ''[[BattleMaster]]'' ** ''[[Crockett]]'' ** ''[[Rampage]]'' ** ''[[Shogun]]'' ** ''[[Stalker]]'' ** ''[[Cyclops]]'' ** ''[[Emperor]]'' ** ''[[Highlander]]'' ** ''[[Ymir]]'' ** ''[[Banshee (BattleMech)|Banshee]]'' ** ''[[Nightstar]]'' ** ''[[Atlas (BattleMech)|Atlas]]'' ** ''[[Devastator]]'' ** ''[[King Crab]]'' ** ''[[Mackie]]'' ** ''[[Pillager]]'' ** ''[[Thunder Hawk]]'' </div> ==Notes== * The ''Icarus II'' ICR-1S is present in the volume despite being excluded from the table of contents, though the normal page header is also missing from the entry; the 1S designator can only be found in the text. * Three entries are not reprints from the listed TROs: ''Talos'', originally appearing in ''Historical: Reunification War''; ''Rampage'', originally appearing in ''Jihad Conspiracies: Interstellar Players 2''; and the FLE-16 ''Flea'', apparently new material. * There are four new pieces of artwork: FLE-16 ''Flea'', OTT-7J ''Ostscout'', GLH-1D ''Galahad'', and BNC-3S ''Banshee''.
