March 1, 3051 – EVENT The entire Inner Sphere is quiet. Factories are churning out new mechs, traders and military people are acquiring level two technology and refitting mechs, fresh and elite pilots are rotated to the front lines against the clans. Everybody knows that there will be another offensive, and they are holding their collective breath until that happens. Documentaries discuss clan occupations and everybody is an expert as to what is happening when. With everybody’s attention Clan-ward, pirates on the periphery are getting more leeway, and contracts are virtually non-existent from Inner Sphere powers. The occasional garrison or retainer contract is the only thing coming down the pike from the Great Houses. The money is being churning into infrastructures, building new mech lines, expanding factories, and purchasing and refitting materiel. There is no money for destroying listening posts or raiding factories or any other of the normal sort of contracts that come mercenaries way. The quality and quantity of contracts for the rest of the year will be strongly reduced. This is the eye of the storm.
