![]() ![]() The NAIS also developed the new Black Box “Fax” machines which allowed for communication via hyperspace without involving ComStar (although at a slower pace). He instituted OPERATION Flush, sparking a shadow war between ComStar’s ROM and the MIIO (Ministry of Information, Intelligence and Operations). Hanse Davion did not simply stand by and allow this to happen. ComStar provided the DCMS with several Star League era BattleMechs as part of Operation ROSEBUD. They secretly formed an alliance with Gunji-no-Kanrei Theodore Kurita, to share intelligence. Meanwhile the rest of the Inner Sphere powers lagged behind in their development of revived Star League Lostech.Ĭoncerned at the rise of the Federated Commonwealth, with its potential to unite the Inner Sphere under a new power base, ComStar decided to act. ![]() They had, however, ended all research into Triple Strength Monomer (TSM) after the incident with the betrayal by Justin Allard, and the Federated Suns deployment of a gas missile which reduced the prototype DCMS TSM to the consistency of goo. The Draconis Combine has made some advancements over the NAIS including an early Active Probe. This gave the allies an early advantage in the War of 3039, but improvements in ECM on both sides soon countered this new technology rendering it obsolete. Listen-Kill Warheads included new guidance systems which homed in on the EM emissions of BattleMechs. One of the AFFS/LCAF first joint military research projects to come to fruition was the Listen-Kill missile system. Field upgrades were made to many old Succession War BattleMech designs, although very few new Mechs were constructed using the new Endosteel internal structure. Although they couldn’t be integrated into the BattleMech’s engine unlike the Star Leagues Double Heatsinks, they could be added in addition. Both successor states had developed, independent of the Helm Memory Core’s data (although there was also a great deal of espionage involved) a new type of heat sink called a Freezer. The NAIS also managed to develop prototype models of the Gauss Rifle, Ultra and LB-X Autocannons. Some prototype technologies were developed as a direct result of the Helm Memory Core such as: Extended Ranger Large Lasers and Medium Pulse Lasers, as well as Endosteel internal structure and Ferro Fibrous armour. Over the years following the Grey Death Legions recovery of the Helm Memory Core, the Federated Suns New Avalon Institute of Science (NAIS) and Draconis Combine had both been making steady technological advancements. In reality, the new superpower of the Federated Commonwealth was hell-bent on finding an excuse to use its new military might. Rhetoric from both sides grew in intensity with Hanse Davion making a public proclamation against the barbaric treatment of the populace on worlds previously controlled by the Federated Suns. Within 24 hours the self-proclaimed “patriotic thief”, whose identity was never discovered, surrendered the car to be found by the police, with a note assuring officials that the contents of the briefcase had not been copied or shared in any way. An immediate massive security lockdown of the entire planet (including the HPG going offline for unspecified technical reasons) followed. Two weeks before the start of the war, a car was stolen on Robinson with a briefcase containing detailed invasion plans. The War of 3039 was not a stealth attack or a surprise war, everyone knew it was coming. On the 16th of April 3039 a wave of Federated Commonwealth JumpShips appeared in several key systems in the Draconis Combine – the War of 3039 had begun.
