Affiliation EncyclopediaThe BattleTech universe is vast, with a long and checkered history. Its people come from wildly different backgrounds, in interstellar nations that span hundreds of worlds and thousands of cultures. An MW3 character is born or raised into one of these affiliations, which has a profound effect on every character's development. This section describes the most prominent and powerful affiliations in the BattleTech universe, including background and character creation material for each one. Using Affiliations: Every player must choose an affiliation for each character at the start of character creation. Each affiliation description begins with a brief background sketch to give you a sense of its history and culture. This information should help you choose the right affiliation for your character. The Game Material section for each affiliation includes any extras a character from that affiliation might receive, like bonus Skill Points, traits and other information such as restrictions on what paths they can follow. Keep in mind that player characters get the listed bonus skills, traits and so on because they are exceptional individuals. These do not necessarily apply to every man, woman and child in each affiliation.
