The peoples of the Inner Sphere often consider themselves the epitome of
technology and culture and relegate the denizens of the frontiers of known space
to second-class citizenry, or worse. And yet it took the combined armies of the
Inner Sphere more than twenty years to subjugate them during the forming of the
first Star League half millennia ago.
Magistracy of Canopus, Taurian Confordat, Marian Hegemony, Outworlds Alliance
and Circinus Federation. Each is a unique star-spanning empire whose
hardy-people have carved out their freedom with bare hand: an indentity they
will not give up without a fight. Even the Great Houses have begun to learn that
underestimating these Periphery States is dangerous indeed.

dculture of the Major Perihery States in a single volume. More than a mere
sourcebook. Handbook: Major Periphery States provides rules for both Battletech
