BATTLETECH: The Marauder II

Описание: The biggest video in the history of the channel so far, this extended video is going to be going over the details behind the legendary #MarauderII #Battlemech, from #Battletech and #Mechwarrior. This one was definitely a herculean effort, so I hope you all enjoy.

I will be going over its relationship with the #WolfsDragoons, and going into detail on several of the engagements for which it took part in. The video covers its origins of course as well, and includes information regarding its development over the years that followed.

#Mercenaries as a whole have always called this #Mech their own, but eventually it would find its way into the #GreatHouses after the #Successionwars. It’d be at the forefront of the #ClanInvasion, and so would the mercenaries who piloted it.

It’d be involved with legal disputes in universe, during the #Fedcom Civil War and during the 2nd #StarLeague.
During the #DarkAge, you’d be surprised to find out, it made an immense impact.

So, come, come my friends. Come and see what has been built here, for your entertainment.

1 small error has the bottom title card disappear for the Dark Age prematurely, this doesn't really impact things all that much, as this video has chapters! I went through the entire thing twice, but I'm hardly perfect :(

Huge shoutout to the folks who were on stream last night who helped me gather footage!

Some of the resources I used:
The original Wolf’s Dragoons Sourcebook
Technical Readout: Clan Invasion
Technical Readout 3050 (original)
Recognition Guide #5
I did use Sarna for a few small references for things that were broad at a few points, but these only cover a few small things like grabbing configurations from different eras in order to dig deeper elsewhere. Overwhelming the information comes from primary sources.
I did reconstruct one event from memory, around Jaime and the Ryuken, and it’s been a little while since I read that, so if its moderately vague, that’s on purpose. lol
