📋 About This Mod
From the main menu, create your own mercenary company with 12 possible backstory regions, each with their own lore-friendly starting locations, 'mechs, dates, and faction standings
Embark the new company in a rebalanced Inner Sphere allowing for potential contracts or purchases in any territory
The Inner Sphere is quite an unfriendly and indifferent place for new Merc companies, contracts relevant to your current ability and 'mechs in your price range can be hard to come across
Known bugs:
Starting system will have nothing to buy
Starting a new regular campaign will change the Inner Sphere to the rebalanced version, afaik save games before installation will be unaffected, might want to back them up anyway
You can dismiss yourself, don't do that

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid niche following (166 endorsements) — players who use it seem to stick with it
- Rebalanced Inner Sphere adds fresh challenge for veterans tired of vanilla balance
- Simple character creator gives a personal touch to your merc company without overwhelming complexity
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in March 2020 — likely outdated for current game patches, so check compatibility
- Character creator is 'simple' and might not satisfy players wanting deep customization
For BattleTech players who want a fresh take on the Inner Sphere and enjoy role-playing as a merc commander. If you're looking for deep character customization, this might not be enough. Skip if you prefer vanilla balance or need up-to-date mods.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since the mod is from 2020, back up your save files before installing, and check if it works with your current game version.
- If you use mod managers like ModTek, manually placing files might bypass load order issues — but test with a new career first.
- The character creator is simple, so plan your merc company's background before starting to make the most of it.
