What the hell is it showing? :| I appreciate that it is the first mounted item but it looks kinda ...weird?

[Mechwarrior413183]

Lore aficionados up to figuring this out?

[Pariah Devalis]

Map of the planet Strana Mechty, and possibly the hidden hope doctrine.

[Lukoi Banacek]

Reference to the Pentagon worlds, lines from the Remembrance also. Seems lore-ish to me.

[CyclonerM]

I appreciate it. Finally a nice lore touch!

Can anyone actually read what is written in those lines? I badly want to know it!

P.S. it does not look like the Hidden Hope Doctrine.

The map is for sure Strana Mechty anyway. And i bet the last line is the signature "A.Kerensky".

The star probably represents the Star League since the Clans are the descendants of the SLDF that left the Inner Sphere. But that one was silver I think, since this one is red it may also be a representation of the Clans themselves.

I'm guessing the next symbol represents the Pentagon Worlds.

I can't read the text, could be any number of important text to the Clans. But It is a fair bet that it is a quote from a man named Kerensky.

Fourth is likely a map of Strana Mechty.

Not sure what the fifth is.

Others are repeats.

The Star is just the Clan "daggerstar"

The second symbol may represent indeed the Pentagon Worlds, but then why is it written Strana Mechty on it? It is not among those 5 worlds..

The text is for sure a quote from Kerensky, but there are quite a few that could be it.

Aff, a map of strana mechty.

The fifth could be another quote from the Remembrance but i am definitely not sure :\

[Jaroth Corbett]

First & last is the daggerstar.

The middle looks like a map of Strana Mechty taken from TCoK Pg. 110.

The others are too small for me to make out.

Maybe this is just me, and I like the meaning of it, the message that is in the banner is right on for the clan invasion, but I think it would have been better as a hanger banner than a mech banner, maybe it’s just me

I think the passage is Remembrance passage 67:

Five, Nicholas proclaimed, was the foundation
Upon which our true society was to be built.
Laborers to till the land, to do the tasks:
They shall have our undying gratitude,
For they are the muscle behind us all.
Merchants to buy and sell with fairness:
They shall have our commerce and respect,
For they are the bones upon which we are built.
Technicians to build and fix the machines:
They shall have our admiration,
For they are the fingers with which we grasp life.
Scientists to create and discover:
They shall have our awe and our attention,
For they are the mind of our society.
And above all, the Warriors who protect.
They shall have our cooperation and worship,
For they are the blood and soul of us all.

The list on the right happens to be the Clans. Sadly the artist never paid attention as I am pretty sure I see the Not-Named listed, but hey, we also were sold Golden Mechs...

The two 'city maps' left one says strana mechty, the second one... i have no idea... honestly it almost looks french haha.

Different points in time determine the nature of the artifact. So the Wolvies made the list. Not the end of the world or technically inaccurate. Wouldnt sweat it personally.

But... but it is the Not-Named! You Adders may have been sliding too far from the Way of the Clans to not be offended.

Too pragmatic to let ghosts of the past color our thoughts or cloud our intellect. We think forward......to Terra

It's a nice gesture, but overshadowed by the hack job they did with the Clan logos. Way to underscore inconsistency.

My thoughts exsactly.

But all in honestly. I like the clan logos the forum ones to the left the CSJ one i curently got on. Think of it as this. "Atleast they are free..."
