Have you ever wished that the Faction Play map was more filled out with world details? It's a great interactive map, but it seems that the devs just kinda gave up after a while.

Well, here is a place where we as a community can add those world details that make the Battletech universe an interesting, living place.

Most of the world data comes from http://sarna.net and from various Battletech sourcebooks.

I'll start off with worlds that are the focus of Faction Play. Feel free to contribute and maybe we can get some of this data inputted into the game!

They did finish such a map... and it's in MW5. On our current FP map some worlds do have descriptions. Start looking up planets around the edge of Draconis space like The Rock, Ferris, and Manaringaine. The project was started then abandoned, apparently. Lots of online maps out there that do the job, but one of my favs is https://www.gruese.de/innersphere/.

Stealing someone else's IP and inserting such stolen IP into their own game would very probably result in a lawsuit that EG7 would almost certainly lose.
