Handbook House Kurita

Description

Handbook House Kurita is the faction sourcebook for the Draconis Combine, ruled by the Kurita family. It recounts the history, worlds, government, culture and military of the Draconis Combine up to the year 3067.

For almost a millennium, the symbol of the Dragon has struck fear into the rest of the Inner Sphere. The fearless dedication of its warriors, the devotion of its people, and the awesome ambitions of its Coordinator: House Kurita has been more reviled than any other power. Yet a new leader has arisen in the last decades, bringing about a host of reforms and reigning in the realm’s most rapacious desires. Such rebirth comes at a price, as various shadowy influencers fix their eyes on reigniting the Dragon’s glorious past. Only time will tell which path the Dragon will follow…

Not just a sourcebook, Handbook: House Kurita covers rules for both BattleTech and A Time of War RPG game play, including such areas as personal equipment, support vehicles, creatures and more.
