Greetings MechWarriors,

The BattleTech Universe is one spread across many books, many editions, many games, and more.

While we were provided an initial list of the most famous units in the Lore, this had to be expanded greatly to include lesser known units, sub-units, nicknames, major factions, minor factions, planets, manufacturing centers and more. Even then, we recognize that Sarna is an evolving reference and does not contain all information on the universe, just the most you can find centralized in one website.

Using https://docs.google....WOjRC3Hq7U/edit as a reference point, please let us know if there are any entries which are missing from this filter.

Entries should include any of the following names which have been previously published in MW/BT:

• Unit Names
  
• Unit Nicknames
  
• Major Factions
  
• Minor Factions
  
• Planets
  
• Corporations and Manufacturing Centers
  
• Political Organizations
  
• Intelligence Services
  
• Military Forces

Is there a time frame you want us to keep to?

You guys forgot the best mercenary unit ever (Black Knight Legion). For shame.

I found one.

Biting Bear’s Bashes from the Bear-Zyklus. Tag should be BBB.

It is a small Merc Unit startet in the year 3056.

Maybee the bocks are only available in German. http://www.ulisses-spiele.de/sortiment/tabletop/battletech/produkte/913/waffengefaehrten-bear-zyklus-5-classic-battletech-24/

We were told to contact PGI if we want to recreate to get a new tag, but we have not received an answer and when I tried to recreate today, it still says that the unit name already exists even though we disbanded the unit and messaged PGI about it at the end of the weekend. Nikolai, the community manager, is who I contacted, but he hasn't checked his messages despite being on today. I need to know is there someone else I should be contacting about getting rid of the old entry so we can recreate or are we just going to have to change our name again to get a new tag?

I am not exactly sure if I really want to say this, but as far as I could tell from the list you also forgot the Black Thorns.
Smaller Merc-Unit, lead by an Ex-Comguard and specialized on fighting the clans. After some more or less successful battles their mechs are mostly clan-tech.

Hello - everybody - still searching the reasons behind the restriction of LORE Names.

I can accept that "known" units are somehow complicated - but to insert even units that are based on novels - that are hardly known in the whole world?
Unit names - that have no representation in actual source material.
Unit names - where nobody even know anything about them - but a handful?
(Example- 145th Hussar Regiment - Shadow Riders) -> its only a foot mark in the SLDF Field Manual - one or two sentences.
What about Planet Names? You know how those Planet Names where created? To filter planet names - is complete against the idea what was behind the creation of those Planet names.

If you restrict LORE Names you should restrict every dictionary in existence. And of course there are still back doors. Nicknames of a Unit - for example the named 145th Shadow Riders or Saucy Sixty, Sariels Conquerers, Apollyon's Chosen and more.

I feel like this might have been discussed elsewhere, however, I didn't know where else to post this question since all the threads were locked and I was unable to pull up any search results relating to this. What happens when a unit is created after pre-registration? Are they simply unrecognized and forced to join one of the pre-registered units when territory disputes finally take place? If not, then how does creating a unit after pre-reg work? Or why would it matter?
