Greetings MechWarriors,
The Battle for Luthien has come to an end, yet no side can claim a true victory. While the forces of House Kurita and the Inner Sphere were able to prevent the fall of Luthien to the Clan invaders, losses on both sides have been staggering. The Capital Homeworld of Kurita is in near-ruins; its population devastated. It is only thanks to a final push, one last strive for some semblance of victory, that the banner of Kurita still flies over this scarred planet.
Battered and depleted, the forces of the Inner Sphere were not in a position to capitalize on this pyrrhic victory and have not been capable of capturing any lost systems. While the Clans were driven off-world they still hold a vice grip over the surrounding territory.
However, the terms of the battle were clear. The Clans have failed to capture Luthien, and must now set their sights on Capitals deeper into Inner Sphere territory; Capitals already encircled by the Clan forces.
With supply lines and resources strained to their limit, and with desperate times ahead, IS leadership has had no choice but to order all Quartermasters to retain all Mauler chassis initially reserved for distribution upon total victory.
Both Inner Sphere and Clan Aligned faction Players can Claim the Defeat Rewards for their efforts in the Battle For Luthien.
Stay tuned for further battle statistics to be released.
