I regret saying "Almost done" lol.

I am glad I went through 366 (x2) more times to replace the Description box dot matrix with the horizontal gradient lines. After going through and tinting the "Guts Cost" box on all 366 Skill cards, I went back through again 366 more times and updated the Description box to look more similar to the original cards with the horizontal gradient lines.

Mercenary Review and Bonding Commission (MRBC) Persons of Interest Dossier

Section 3.1.2: Unregistered Contractors (Periphery States)

Part 41, Federica Knox ("Knox's Knaves")

[1.0] Unit Overview

Knox's Knaves (see attached file for heraldry) are a small-medium mercenary unit operating in the rimward inner sphere and periphery. Intelligence shared by the Federated Suns suggests it can field two BattleMech lances, supported by a DropShip and an unconfirmed formation of Inner Sphere Standard battle armor. Conflicting reports claim that the Knaves possess at least one point of Elemental battle armor, but this is unlikely due to lack of historical Clan presence in the region.

[2.0] History

Knox’s Knaves were founded and are led by Captain Federica Knox, a MechWarrior and former soldier in the I Corps of the Taurian Defense Force. Her family history is unclear, though it is known that previous generations emigrated to the Taurian Concordat from elsewhere in the Periphery. Notably, Knox claims relation to a Clan Mongoose, styling herself as “The Last Khan of Clan Mongoose.” (see section 2.1)

[2.1] Claimancy

Clan historical records refer to a Clan Mongoose that was destroyed and absorbed by Clan Smoke Jaguar circa 2868. The likelihood of Knox holding blood relation to these Clanners is very low, and it is much more probable that her title was invented to impress denizens of the rimward Periphery who are unfamiliar with the clans. There is no record of Knox herself having ever been in contact with members of the Clans.

[3.0] Combat Record

Knox pilots the Orion ON1-MB Jackalope. She has proven to be a capable BattleMech commander and pilot, surviving at least five combat actions including two “hot drops” into enemy fire.

[4.0] Known Employers

Knox's Knaves are known to have been hired by public and private interests in both the Taurian Concordat and the Magistracy of Canopus. The unit is also known to take clients deeper in the Periphery, but no records indicate that it has ever been hired within the Inner Sphere, though evidence exists that the unit has been hired to act against the Federated Suns at least twice (see after action report: New Shriner)

[5.0] Current Status

The current operating theater of Knox's Knaves is currently unknown. It is not unusual for smaller unregistered mercenary units to occasionally operate outside of the MRBC information gathering sphere, however, so this is not cause for alarm.

[6.0] Conclusion

The MRBC Information Division recommends loose observation of the situation to stay aware of any changes in astropolitical events involving Knox's Knaves. Aside from possible ties to the Clans, the unit is fairly standard as a Periphery mercenary company. Federica Knox may be a useful asset in actions against House Davion. Personnel have been dispatched to gauge usefulness to the Commission.

Speaking of, Hammer's Slammers also has the impartial arbitration/bondholder commission for mercenary work, which I'm gonna guess was direct inspiration for BattleTech's MRBC. When I read it, it got me thinking that in my setting, there wouldn't likely be a single unified and recognized such authority. It'd be more like at least a dozen, and much like nation-states it'd be a few purely new and spaceborne ones (like the the Centauri Mercenary Commission or whatever) tucked in amongst primarily existing polities' own commissions (Like NATO's, I dunno, Professional Soldiery Contracting and Trust Committee).

Of course, this dilutes the mercenary profession from being theoretically impartial and it starts becoming political again. Like, aside from the fact of "PMC's" in their modern incarnation (that of a government agency in all but name, a la blackwater or wagner) still existing, any mercenary company would either have to walk the tightrope of maintaining standing among several of the numerous bond-boards and the signatory states they represent, or pick one and stick with it and try to fight against the tide of amalgamating into a free-floating (and responsible for your own maintenance and recruiting, and semi-deniable, and somewhat disposable) military asset for said signatory states as dictated by the bond-board.

In 3085, the Second Star League was left asunder.

Corrupted by partisan infighting, the withdrawal of certain Successor States, and difficulty wrangling internal forces, the Star League disbanded, with many SLDF forces returning to their home nations, and leaving the worlds around Terra once again in chaos.

For the people of Terra, it was a time of uncertainty and fear. Under the Star League, they had celebrated political influence and independence, a time without Comstar administration or Blakist occupation. Since the fall of the Terran Hegemony, the people of Terra finally had a say in how their own world would be run. Now, Comstar was back, but all the more weakened as the SLDF had gutted them, leaving them open to Free World League intrusion.

A group of Terran SLDF soldiers grew sick of outside groups lusting for Terra. Disgusted by House Marik’s attempts to seize control and distrusting the Liberty Holds, the soldiers banded together as Eden’s Guard, and went into business for themselves as mercenaries.

Supporting a Battlemech and Battle Armor company, Eden’s Guard also have a significant wing of their forces dedicated to medical, engineering, and political personnel. Holding themselves to the standards and ideals of the Star League, Eden’s Guard leave worlds in better condition than they arrived to. The unit specializes in peacekeeping operations, preventing fighting from reaching too high of a boiling point, and does not shy away from opening dialog between both sides if it means a meaningful resolution. As such, they are renowned not only for their ability to operate as a military force, but as a diplomatic and humanitarian one, as well.

Captain Penelope Trumbull invites you to earn riches and glory for yourself and the Eden’s Guard Mercenary Unit, on Battletech Mercenaries!

I know it's an old post... but your MRBC that you made, did you ever do anything with them? Ever thought about making and selling some? The game is amazing and it's a hidden gem.

I’ve been making “real looking” English versions recently. As in, I’ve been collecting as many scan or high quality photos as I can, then making English versions that hopefully look faithful to the originals in terms of design. Still very much a work in progress, but you can see what I’ve done here. I’m at around 73% collected of all cards, so it’s going well!I don’t sell them, but I’m more than willing to share the masters if you would be interested in finding a good way to print them!On that note, I still haven’t found a nice way to print them at a quality, price, and method I’m happy with, so I’m always open to suggestions.

Whoops... Not quite done. :(

Apparently I have forgotten to shade in the "Guts Box" with monster's theme colors. It's a very subtle thing to miss on the original cards since many cards are light in color, but here's a comparison of adding in the theme color to the guts box VS white.

Trying to catch up on Cells at Work Code Black and I'm crying because Main Red Blood Cell's best friend died. It's less over his death itself, and more how hard it is for MRBC. Like they broke the cutie. He was saying he wanted to be processed by the spleen, pretty much killed, because he couldn't take the guilt. And what's the point of him, if he can't work. And what's the point of working if the Body isn't going to improve. It just hit me really, really hard.

MWBC kinda helped at the end, saying to remember their friends who gave their lives to protect and support this Body. But still. It's fucking rough.
