Mech Every Day Sunday Special #3: Maps

Maps! I love them, especially for BattleTech. I find the ebb and flow of the national borders endlessly fascinating. All of the maps in this post are based directly on official BattleTech sources, just reduced in size and colored to emphasize each state. This first map depicts the Inner Sphere in 2596, at the end of the Age of War and the beginning of the Star League. The ten major states of this period have formed, most of which will continue on through the centuries to come. In the center is the Terran Hegemony (gray). The Lyran Commonwealth is in blue, Free Worlds League in purple, green for the Capellan Confederation, yellow for the Federated Suns, and red for the Draconis Combine. The Periphery states are the Rim Worlds Republic (brown), pale teal for the Magistracy of Canopus, reddish-brown for the Taurian Concordat, and a deeper teal for the Outworlds Alliance. A single minor state - the diminutive Illyrian Palatinate - can be seen in beige just to the left of the Free Worlds Le...

Mech Every Day Sunday Special #1

Cover to 25 Years of Art and Fiction by Catalyst Game Labs Hello and welcome BattleTech fans! My name is Roland, and I'm a longtime BattleTech fan (since 1988) and one-time developer. In December of 2024 I posted a painted BattleTech miniature every day on Bluesky for a "'Mech Advent Calendar." I had so much fun that I promised to do the same thing for the entirety of 2025 - bold to the point of foolishness, I know. I decided to scale it back a bit. Every weekday I'll post a couple photos (front and back) of a painted BattleTech miniature. These will usually be members of the same Lance (Inner Sphere), Star (Clans), Level II (ComStar and Word of Blake), or Sept (Society). I'm going to be focusing on miniatures that I've never posted before, but one of my goals is to paint complete Lances/Stars/etc., so some days will be "repeats" from previous social media posts. On Saturdays - as you saw yesterday - I'll bring all the week's miniatures t...
