From the back cover[]
- ""When Khan Selim Nagasawa brought news of the Terran Hegemony to the Clan Grand Council, he fulfilled the dreams of the Crusader Clans. With a Crusader as ilKhan and four Crusader Clans in the Inner Sphere, the dream of the Crusade is soon to be fulfilled.
Operation REVIVAL is the ultimate fulfillment of the Crusader cause, and despite the weakening of the faction by the Loyalists, the Crusaders remain a potent power within the Grand Council.
Field Report: Crusader Clans' provides an overview of the seven Crusader Clans: Blood Spirit, Fire Mandrill, Ice Hellion, Jade Falcon, Smoke Jaguar, Star Adder and Widowmaker. Also provided are historical and political summaries, details on each Clan’s society, economy and industry and deployment tables for each Touman.'" - —{{{2}}}
Author's Description of the AU[]
This is an alternate timeline story starting from 3022, which rewrites the lead up too, and outbreak of the 4th Succession War.
It is based firstly on the side bar on page 57 of the original House Marik Sourcebook, but quickly diverges into an alternate
reaction by ComStar and the Kapteyn powers. I had an epiphany that started with the question “What if…”. What if Marik, Kurita,
and Liao had struck first, before Davion and Steiner were ready, all manipulated by ComStar.
The 4th War is now a very different beast, and what comes after has completely changed the balance of power in the Inner Sphere.
The results of the invasions were gamed out and the story of the alternate war slowly written as we progressed the results of the war, using a highly detailed version of Succession Wars/Inner Sphere in Flames.
