It has already been stated by studio head that the game timeline will adhere to canon at large.
However, control over territories and the resources they represent may switch hands many times prior to established lore events taking place.

Whatever happens, we should probably drink all the beer now just in case we do get annihilated and it goes to waste.

had you not left the care of the combine you might have fared better against the ghostbear invaders. We would have been a blt to protect our mutual interests better. it is not too late to change your minds.

we are born colder and fight hotter than any of the clan pansies. they can kill some of us, who cares, we die deaths more purely battleborn than any code sworn "clanners" - true warriors don't need rules to know and honor war. If you think you ragnarok can or should be avoided you're in the wrong faction.

Let the filthy clanner scum choke on us

Till they come, let us drink, be merry and hone our axes

Valhalla awaits!

Wow, did you not read the Dev Blogs? Not even once? They will adhere strictly to canon! We will not "make our own canon" and stuff. The Clans will strike right by the timeline, and they will conquer all the planets according to lore. All we will do is fight over some border worlds, not reshaping the whole starmap! And I like it that way!

It seems like you have not really read up as much as you should on the Dev Blogs. Yes they will reserve "some" of the systems for canon major events but the rest will be free to fight over.
If you think it will be exactly as in the books you are in for a disappointment as the starmap will be changed by player action.

There is no way of knowing how many worlds will be considered 'Core' and how many will be actually fought over.

Fighting for Capellan Confederation sorry but yes you will miss the invasion.. but being a weird sect i guess you all go were your lowtax guru points.

You have a point that those in the Capellan Confederation will miss the Invasion, but the Word of Lowtax is most likely going to end up as an umbrella organization with mercenary corps branching off and spreading out over the Inner Sphere. While the Free Rasalhague Republic may not see direct frontline support from the House of Lowtax, you can rest assured that our mercenaries will be at the frontline in some form.

You'll have enough troubles when the Jaguars get to planet Edo.

You are doomed, sucks to be FRR

At least we weren't smashed by Liao warlords.

Well at least our ruler remained sane, and was not cloned nor did he cause our entire empire to implode on to it self... .. .

[Ori Klein]

Yes, we are headed towards annihilation...that of kurita, marik, mercenaries and all who would venture across our borders seeking to take what is rightfully ours.

And this would be why the Bears and FRR get along so well. We are the greatest warriors to ever produced by humanity armed with the most advanced weapons of war ever built, and you are just nuts enough to not care about any of that and charge anyways.

Besides, the FRR comes out way ahead thanks to the Clan invasion as they go from a politically convenient buffer state with no real power before the Clan invasion to a powerhouse which crushed an enemy that trashed every sucessor state in the Jihad.

From what I've read, when the Republic got tromped by Ghost Bear, they did not get annihilated.

They only came out stronger.

To the point the Ghost Bears wanted to fight with them rather than against.

Did that union eventually benefit both sides, creating some conglomerate of awesome?

Yes, the two factions eventually merge into a single nation. They showed off just how powerful this combination is in the Jihad by driving the Word of Blake back to Terra while the sucessor states were bussy getting their ***** kicked, and that was before they were completely merged.
