Who cares? It's not like there is a story mode or anything, the time line is absolutely meaningless to MWO except as an artificial restriction to limit tech and mechs available.

And some 30+ years of history with the franchise.

But yea, the story of Mechwarrior/Battletech in a Mechwarrior/Battletech game is meaningless!

Meaningless!

You think the story and timeline in a Star Wars game would be meaningless too I bet.

Most of the IIC mechs are refits or redesigns of IS mechs the clans took with them when they left the inner sphere.

The 'C' actually stands for 'Clan technology', and the 'II' for 'second generation'. So a Jenner IIC is a "Jenner, second generation, Clan technology".

Interestingly enough, the 'IIC' moniker is exclusively an Inner Sphere designation - the clans themselves just refer to these 'mechs by their regular names (at least until the Jihad).

I'm not sure it matters really, lore has been pretty thoroughly butchered at this point so the year is whatever you feel like it should be. Let's say it's 3080 and the Word of Blake is flipping out on everyone. Why not. And FRR has joined forces with the Outer Periphery and Wolf's Dragoons and they're attacking Terra for no reason.
