The great experiment that was the Republic of the Sphere has failed. Withdrawn behind the Fortress walls, the once-great power has become a silent, opaque remnant of its former glory. Without its influence, old hatreds have risen anew. As war once more rages across the Inner Sphere, new equipment strides across ancient battlefields. Technology, once stagnated by trade restrictions and peace treaties, now surges forward again, testing these new machines in the fierce crucible of war.

Technical Readout: 3145 Capellan Confederation introduces the wave of new battle armor, vehicle, ‘Mech, and aerospace units appearing across the Inner Sphere in the Dark Age era. Featuring new and matured technology, and presented in this series of faction-specific PDFs, these combat units will add excitement and variety to any game table.

The art is a mess. I don't dislike most of the individual artists, but it really feels like a dA fan TRO, not a professional release, because of the vastly different styles and completely disparate looks on mechs that are all supposed to be coming from three or so manufacturers.

Outside of the scale it doesn't look all that bad to me. /shrug

Go from the Gun to the Raven II. Five mechs, five different artists, five different aesthetics. Compare PLOG's baroque, dynamic illustrations (the Mortis and the Catapult II in particular) to SHUDA's cold, geometric, CAD-like illos (YHC and Vandal) or Xarbala's flat, top-heavy, angular designs (the Canopus mechs and the Tian Zong).

It just looks scrambled. It's bad art direction.
