INTRODUCTION
IRTECH INTERNAL DOCUMENTATTENTION: CHRIS BLOCHERDATE: 1 December
3070
The follow document has been prepared in accordance with the
divisional reorganization and operations directivememorandum of 14
February 3070. Though the project originated under CEO Sigmund
Hughes (I have left eachsection relatively in tact from those
origins, providing you with some insight into your divisional
heads), thispainstakingly researched and compiled document will
prove invaluable. As such, I felt it beneficial to use
myprerogative to have the compiled electronic document printed for
internal IrTech use only.
Per the directives, each section was originally compiled by the
specific individuals named within theaforementioned memorandum.
Additionally, instead of a synthesis of information regurgitated by
a single hand (orcommittee of hands), each section has been drawn
from a wide variety of sources. While slightly filtered,
theinformation has generally been left in the original form in
which it first appeared.
Each section attempts to cover as large a swath of exemplar,
potentially profitable, merchandise/markets aspossible. While
IrTech is already operating within the sphere of influence of
several of the types of craft noted withinthe document, many are
completely outside the purview of IrTech or any of its
subsidiaries, per the directives.
By its nature, this document covers a mere fraction of a
fraction of the myriad craft operating throughout the InnerSphere,
Periphery and beyond. It does, however, present a holistic slice of
various craft, providing our analysts withenough key information to
initiate the critical plans as outlined in the directive
memorandum.
If I can be of any further assistance during this continued
transitional period, you have only to ask.

INTRODUCTION
MassThe Mass of various Support Vehicle is presented in
kilograms (kg) or in metric tons. If the numerical values in a
Mass column of an entry do not include a “kg” indicator, then
the numbers represent weights measured in tons.
Equipment RatingThe Equipment Rating of a Support Vehicle is
comprised of three different values: Tech Level, Availability,
and
Legality, as detailed below.Tech Level: The Tech Level of a unit
represents the basic level of technology and industry required to
produce a
vehicle. For Support Vehicles, this represents an extreme range,
from pre-industrial bicycles to advanced technologies,such as
satellites.
Availability: Availability represents supply and demand—how easy
or difficult it is to acquire a particular SupportVehicle. To make
this as useful as possible, regardless of which time period is
used, Availability Ratings for three erasare provided: the first
ranges from the Age of War to the fall of the first Star League (up
to 2800), the secondencompasses the Succession War period through
the start of the Clan Invasion (2800 to 3050), and the final
eracovers the Clan Invasion through the present (3051 onwards).
The Clans always use the first (Star League era) Availability
Rating unless this is X (Not Available), in which casethey use the
third Availability Rating.
Legality: Operating a vehicle can require more than just
climbing behind the wheel. Operator and/or vehiclecertification is
often necessary. Safety regulations for the transport of passengers
or sensitive materials can requirespecial licenses. Private
ownership of armed vehicles may be tightly controlled.
