'Ello, I'm going to just say it, I'm totally new to the BattleTech Universe, and the only MechWarrior Games I have ever played are; Mech Assault 1 & 2 and MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries. The lore seems so expansive from an outside perspective, and I'm dying to get my feet wet. Where is a good place to start? General Information, sites, books, etc. I'd be very appreciative if someone could just point me in the right direction.

dang and i had a nice speech at the ready to tell you to not underestimate opponents under any circumstance. but i see i was wrong and dont worry you will do well on the battlefield just follow orders make sure to optimize your mech and dont run into groups of mechs without someone to back you up.

The link from MiSs is great for tons of information primarily about MWO, but with some links to Battletech in general. If you are primarily looking for lore then go to

http://www.sarna.net/wiki/Main_Page

That link is within the page MiSs linked, but its near the bottom and I think it is what you were looking for.

Probably the best source of information on the BT universe you'll find is the official site: New to BattleTech?
