BattleTech: Universe

BattleTech Universe is an intensely detailed sourcebook providing an overview of the history and setting of the BattleTech Universe, providing details of the features, technology and factions of BattleTech stretching across all BattleTech eras to the time of the ilClan.

BattleTech Universe was originally set to be published in the fourth quarter of 2022, but was eventually delayed in the lead-up to the 2023 crowdfunding campaign for the BattleTech: Mercenaries boxset. Though flagged as being offered for general release, which backers could also select as a add-on option, the campaign also offered an premium Precentor Martial Edition with additional exclusive features in response to the campaign reaching the $2,000,000 USD stretch goal.

The standard version of BattleTech Universe was released on 4 October 2024.

• The digital release included both single and double page PDFs to preserve the large scale maps.
• Regarding the maps, users have reported many inconsistencies in places such as the BattleTech forums regarding worlds being misspelled, named incorrectly based on time period, and affiliated with different states. Notably, several dozen worlds are appearing on maps earlier or later than previously published; some inclusions were intentional while others, based on statements from CGL authors and line developers, were not. This includes worlds once thought dead from the early Succession Wars or those not yet colonized until later.
