A mercenary unit composed of Clan and Inner Sphere Mechwarriors, Strider's Strikers grew rapidly through the support and interest of Clans Nova Cat and Steel Viper. The team is a rare cooperative effort which has now cemented Inner Sphere mercs and Clan warriors in a fight against Blakist radicals.
A mercenary unit composed of aging veterans of the Capellan Confederation and forged in the Fourth Succession War, Acer's Hueys makes up for its small size with wisdom and experience.
A mercenary unit composed of idealists and Ex-Knights of the Inner Sphere, The Crusaders fight with a code of honor and specialized Mechs neither of which are typically seen in the Inner Sphere.
A mercenary unit of the 3020 and 3030s which met a cruel end by political betrayal, Llana's Breakers were a fearless group of Mechwarriors known for quick strike attacks. Their unexpectedly strong counterattack style of fighting earned them a reputation.
A Clan separated from the rest of their kind, allied for better or worse with their partners, the Draconis Combine, the Nova Cats continually search for the path to fulfill their duty to protect humanity.
An aggressive Clan torn between Warden and Crusader causes, the Steel Vipers have met more success than most Clans in their attempts to invade the Inner Sphere.
The intelligence agency of the Clan Warrior Caste, The Watch is a comparatively poorly organized group of spies and data analysts seeking to even the odds with their Inner Sphere counterparts.
Interstellar technology and communications make up the foundation of this faction, an organization once quasi-religious but now devoted more towards the advancement of humankind through the sharing of information.

A Comstar separatist movement experiencing extreme internal conflict, the Word of Blake has constantly been redefined as its factions seek power. More recently, its Toyama faction has captured the reins of the organization and now lead the movement in all out war on the Inner Sphere's other political powers
Mercenaries founded and primarily funded by extremists from within the World of Blake, the deadly Vampire's Fangs team is made up of criminals and cutthroats.
