It is the 31st century and mankind is once again, at war. 
The battlefields of the future are ruled by huge robotic machines known as Battlemechs.
These machines are piloted by men and women, the elite of the elite, knowing that each day could be their last.
They are:
Mechwarriors

    You may have heard of MechWarrior.  You may have heard part of the story.  Here, I will give you some information on all 9 games of Mechwarrior, the history of the battletech universe, and a look at what is happing in the battletech universe right now.
Mechwarrior started around the mid '80's as a board game. As the years passed, the universe and story improved.  In 1989, the first Mechwarrior Game was produced. (Picture of box cover could been seen to the left)

Some other games of the Battletech universe was created, Two of them that I know of was "Battletech: The cresent hawk incepiton", a RPG game and "Battletech: Cresent Hawk's Revenge", a stratigy like game.

In 1995, Mechwarrior 2 was released.  Slightly improved graphics and costomizable mech's along with multiplayer made this game very popular.  This promted Activision, Maker of Mechwarrior 2 to make an expansion pack, Ghost bear's legacy, and Mercenaries, almost a complely new game altogether.

In 1998, Mechwarrior 3 was created.  Stunning graphics, explosive sound and ease of control made this one of my favorite games.  Probably one of the most realistic games of all times.  This time, only one expanion pack was created for MW3, Pirates moon.

then, in 2000, MW4 was created.  Unlike any other game, this had more mech's than you could shake a stick at. With 35 mechs, it had almost every mech made in Mechwarrior 2 and 3. Two expanion packs were made for this game to. Black Knight legion and Mercenaries. Dosen't history repeat itself in game making!

BATTLETECH: COMPLETE HISTORY
As the story goes, In the turn of the 22nd century, Jump technogy was discovord.  This caused many planets to be populated for the next 200 years.  This caused small alliances by planets. Ruled much like the feudal system of the medevil ages,  These alliances, Led by powerful familys, would be soon known as House govenments.
The fringes of this terriotory is known as the Periphery.

After some fighting, Admiral McKenna, used his political and military assests to band 100 worlds together,  forming the Terran Hegemony.  As it grew power, It invented the Battlemechs in 2435.  These machines could destroy a infantry unit in no time, So the Terran Hedgemony was put to an advantage.

In 2571, the Star Leauge was formed, started by peace aggrements signed around the five main Inner Sphere states: Free worlds leage, Lyran Commonwealth, Federated suns, Capellion Confederation, and the Draconis Combine.  However,  The Periphery would not have anything to do with the Star leage.  This caused the Reunification War.  By 2597, the Periphery fell to the might of the Star Leage Defence Force (Or SLDF).
