Battletech: The Taurian Concordat

In this piece, we are going to examine the most storied #Periphery #House, or State, in #Battletech. One of the oldest entities in the history of the setting, this ancient powerhouse has a history that is vast, despite what you may see at a cursory glance. The #TaurianConcordat is truly a wonder, and its demeanour may surprise you. From the time of the #TerranAlliance, through the rise of the #StarLeague, to the #ReunificationWars, through to the #AmarisCoup, into the #SuccessionWars, and into the #Fedcom era, #DarkAge, and #ilclan era, this mighty realm has persisted in the human sphere, even if its power has waxed and waned with time. And this says nothing of their deadly rivalries with nearby powers. #HouseDavion #FederatedSuns #CapellanConfederation #HouseLiao #HouseCameron #TerranHegemony #ClanInvasion #FederatedCommonwealth #HouseSteiner #Canopus #MagistracyofCanopus #MarianHegemony #OutworldsAlliance #WordofBlake #Comstar #CalderonProtectorate #HouseCalderon #Calderon #Taurian #Concordat #mechwarrior #AgeofWar 0:00 Opening 3:47 Democracy and Empire 17:55 The Calderon Expedition 26:07 The Rise of the Concordat 37:08 The Taurian Government 49:34 The Davions 1:01:27 The Age of War 1:08:23 The New Empire - The Star League 1:24:42 The Pollux Proclamation 1:31:22 "Reunification" 1:40:08 Case Amber 1:49:00 Counter Value 1:55:19 The Long War 2:13:49 Occupation 2:24:05 Final Days of the Star League 2:45:35 A New Beginning 2:54:25 Ignatius the Champion 3:00:51 The False Dawn 3:25:59 The End of a Dynasty 3:34:32 The Protector Grover Shraplen - The Ruinous 3:56:33 Clinging to the Throne 4:05:56 The Roughrider War 4:30:59 The Darkness and the Light 4:42:40 The Undiscovered Country 5:02:40 Conclusion 5:08:06 Outro and Credits Some of the music in this piece was sourced from this artist: Scott Buckley @ScottBuckley musicbyscottb The Tracks were as follows: ‘Shadows and Dust’ by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘Aurora’ by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘Decoherence’ by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘Adrift Among Infinite Stars’ – Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘Last and First Light’ – Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘Permafrost’ by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au ‘A Kind of Hope’ by Scott Buckley – released under CC-BY 4.0. www.scottbuckley.com.au It’s great stuff, and definitely added to the mood in the scenes it was used in.
