hello MechWarriors! my name is Dante245, im the leader and jarlkhan of the MERC unit RasalhaguexDominion "RXD". hopefully you have seen us around. we are as many can tell themed after the legendary Rasalhague Dominion from battle-tech lore, and as such we see our selves as the first hybrid loyalist faction, something more then simple Mercs. as such, we only go between FRR and GB. though new, we have taken it upon our selves to be one of the spearhead groups in support of this cause. As the timeline of the Rasalhague Dominion Approaches and the need for something new and innovative to bring life back to Mech Warrior, as well as a need for more IS groups then the current houses, im asking upon the MWO community to lend us your support and signature to sway PGI to create and implement the Rasalhague Dominion as a Faction, from emblems, to paint, and also as a available group when playing IS. as the first ever true melding of Clan and IS societies and Tech in all battle-tech, i know this will create some challenges as to how to implement this, and as such, feel free to also give feedback and ideas on how PGI and there Team could make this a reality, not just wishful thinking. we are making an effort to also reach out to all FRR and Ghost Bear units in and out of the game to lend us your support and friendship, working to build not just a faction, but a community and coalition in favor of being apart of a Rasalhague Dominion. you can find us on the COMSTAR team-peak "na1.mech-connect.net" and at our website " currently in transition from a shared site" https://xnewavengersx.enjin.com/". thank you all for your time, and long live the Rasalhague Dominion.

Sure why not?

It's all completely meaningless now anyways.

I am hoping they add the Monty Python Clan Merc Holy Handgrenadiers. Maybe we can share a meaningless border sometime!

I'm not a part of this unit, but, if anyone who reads the books, etc, will know that the 'house' does, or at least, will exist. They form some time around 3060 or thereabouts, if memory serves me...

And, since we are just 4 years away from this formation, if the timeline, and the Lore, is being kept to by PGI, they we can expect this faction/house/unit, etc to be brought in soon.

I'm all for it. We need more than just five IS houses and seven clans.

Put Rasalhague Dominion in game, and allow its players the ability to bring in both Clan and IS mechs. Limit the drop deck tonnage to 220 tons max.

[Battlemaster56]

I'll agree to this if we get the Exiled Wolves as sub faction of the Lyrans, plus IS faction with Clan tech two in fact so theirs that for FP mains and stuff.

[Dago Red]

As long as they stay a separate faction and keep their mitts off our stuff.

[Juodas Varnas]

Sure whatever, give me a reason to go Merc...

[Bombast]

Only if Smoke Jaguar dies first.

[FLG 01]

Hm, the Ghost Bear Dominion forms 3060, the Rasalhague Dominion does much later.

A merger between the FRR and Ghost Bear Dominion is heavily foreshadowed at the end of the FCCW, especially with Ragnar Magnusson himself liberating the old capital planet from the Wolves and sparking pro-Bear feelings, plus a strong anti-ComStar sentiment within the FRR, which, at the time, was more or less a ComStar protectorate.
But negotiations started only in 3070, and the process of merging took decades. The FRR continued to exist until the 3103.

During the 60ies, FRR and GBD are two clearly seperate factions, albeit very sympathetic to each other. (A bit like 20ies LyrCom and FedSuns).

[Mystere]

What's the point of adding further factions in a game where factions no longer mean anything?

[Khobai]

NO.

IS and Clan need to stay separate for faction warfare.

if you want mixed teams go play quickplay.

they would probably take some of kurita and steiner and split the FRR up among the two factions" half the region FRR and half GB/GBD" since FRR is currently just a few planets..this would actually be an improvement in territorial gains and provide more IS options

i believe you are part off..at least according to sarna.net http://www.sarna.net...lhague_Dominion

[naterist]

sure, while your at it merge clan nova cat with dc, and claim some of the wolves joined steiner. then split it so frr can take 2 IS mechs and 2 clan mechs. give dc and steiner 1 clan mech, and 3 IS mechs. then give davion, liao, and marik higher tonnages, but they must bring only IS mechs.

clanside changes would be to claim the jade falcons and wolves suffered so much in the refusal war that they had to use slavaged IS tech, so they each get 1 IS mech, 3 clan mechs, the other clans should all get higher tonnages, but only clan mechs.

for faction balance, it may also help if clan diamond shark, being best known as the only clan willing to trade with IS houses, had the ability to run 2 clan mechs, 2 IS mechs. that way both sides of the conflict have a max of a half and half dropdeck.

Sarna, while useful, is a fan project (as such non-canon) and not always entirely accurate.

The fact that the source books regarding the 3060ies like the Field Manual: Updates still include the FRR should be enough, but anyway...

...here are some canon sources:

3067:
These two incidents have fueled the growth of a grassroots movement calling for closer ties with Clan Ghost Bear. Supporters of this idea harbor the deepest resentment of the Com Guard presence in the Republic.
(FM:U)

3070:
Ragnar Magnusson addresses the Rasalhague Republic government on Orestes, launching negotiations on behalf of the Ghost Bear Dominion for an accord on behalf of “all Rasalhagian peoples."
(Jihad: Final Reckoning)

3085:
Beginning in 3072, the remaining worlds of the Free Rasalhague Republic were absorbed into the Ghost Bear Dominion during the Jihad, effectively integrating the two factions by the end of the war.
(FM:3085)

3103:
The Ghost Bear Dominion formally became the Rasalhague Dominion — an equal blend of Clan and Inner Sphere — with the election of its first Prince, saKhan Ragnar Magnusson, in 3103.

what about the marriage between Prince Hjalmer Miraborg and Khan Dalia Bekker?

They were not even born when the FCCW ended. They are characters of the 32nd century, featured in ER:3145 for example. Even if they were married (I don't recall that they are), it means nothing for the 3060ies.

I don't know what the problem is. The sources are crystal clear: the merger between GDB and FRR did not start before the Jihad, was essentially done by the end of it, and formalized in 3103.
