[edit] Deletion
This is not a formal request for deletion, however, I am not sure this article needs to exist. FanPro has A Brief History of the Inner Sphere on their website. Now, I understand this is a slippery slope, but why should we attempt to duplicate here what BattleTech authors have done on an official website? Since the 'site is free, all that is needed is a link from BattleTech there. Thoughts? Scaletail 15:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
by saying that then explain why have wikipedia at all its a free site based on official and info that are deicated to the topics that wikipedia has pages on, just like the techno page as the battletech is sci-fi a background with a the ost impostant events in order with each with a short description to give readers enough so that instead of having to go to the official website and look hard for what they want to read.
Fair enough. You have left the major edit box up for a while, so I don't want to mess with the article, but you are going to expand on what you copied from the sanctum website, right? Scaletail 22:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah but i'm going to readd the sanctum site since much of the info now on the history page is from the sanctum page and yes i know most of it is near repleca of the site, SORRY! I did put it mostly in my worlds even if i still copied stuff didnt mean respond i'll wait on the sanctum refernce okPopa01 00:44, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Update
Hey I'm going to be adding the fedcom war and possibly the free wordl leqague cicil waar to, these two wars were a curicial importance to the Jihad anyways [[popa01|popa01] 9:25, 13 March
I'm pretty sure that the following text from the article is incorrect, but I'm not certain that it is incorrect.
"However, the SLDF, having been massively depleted in this war, no longer had the strength to hold the fractious Houses together, and eventually abandoned the Inner Sphere entirely in the great Exodus of the entire SLDF to the deep Periphery, not to be heard from again for three hundred years."
Wasn't the reason the for the exodus because Aleksandr Kerensky was afraid that the SLDF would be used as pawns in the successor states' power plays? I would edit the article myself. I read a lot about this whilst playing MechWarrior 2, and have read various fansites, but I'm not sure if MechWarrior 2 is considered canon, and fansites aren't always correct. --203.23.157.63 16:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
You're right, it is wrong. Feel free to edit it if you want to Sircrackpot 07:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
Seperate issue: I'm not sure if this is an error due to someone's ignorance or if it is truen about the BattleTech History: The article claims that within 150 years, the human race of BattleTech expanded into areas thousands of light-years away from Earth. Here,
Within a mere hundred and fifty years, humanity had flung itself outward to occupy the area later known as the Inner Sphere - thousands of planets in a rough circle about a thousand light-years in radius, centered on Terra. Further outward growth would continue for hundreds of years more, but by this point the most substantial period of growth was over.
However, even while traveling at the speed of light, you can only get to any point in space 150 light-years away from an origin given that you travel at the speed of light for 150 years. It would take thousands of years to reach any point in space that is thousands of light-years from Earth. Also, even if it was managed that the colonists traveled at or above the speed of light, they would advance tens ro maybe hundreds of years into the future over the course of one year of space travel. Believe me, I know my space-time relativities and this doesn't add up correctly. If it was meant to be like that then I suppose there is no problem but if it is the result of "wiki-ing" then there is a problem with the article. MikeG54 02:28, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, ther MikeG54 as you would I also undersand the laws of Physics and all no that hard but I have to mention that this series, Battletech, is a sci-fi novel series wich means that while most of technologies is possible, authors must use a mode of transportation that is pluassable; but is highly unlikly. So please keep Time Relative Theorys to yourself or on any other page please. If you are going to ridicule the battletech series I must asks you not to come back. Also please do not blame any of these so-called problems you blame on "wiki-ing" if you try something this angain I will need to report you to an admin if needed, thank you all for reading.

[edit] Mercenary Contracts
While it's true ComStar used to be the neutral dealer in mercenary contracts, they pulled some trickey business, so now all mercenary contracts are handled by a council on the Wolf's Dragoons world made up of all the factions. I think? Someone who pays attention to storylines, clear this up please? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nagyss (talk • contribs) 22:06, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
- well yes, but since the destruction of Wolf's Dragoons, that's no longer the current situation either. unfortunately, I'm not certain what is, as i don't follow the most recent storylines M.U.D. 21:49, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Duplicity overload
Brilliant article and very well written. The outline is complete and relatively easy to follow. The overuse of the word duplicity is detracting though. Is there another synonymn that we can use here in its stead? Plot politics appears a little repetitious with the same vice - Duplicity - as the downfall of each stakeholder in the story. It is even used twice within two lines, and 5 times in total in short succession. Keep up the good work. Andmark 15:18, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
