As the Fourth Succession War dawned, the Inner Sphere began to climb out of its dark age — recovering lost knowledge, rebuilding armies, and igniting a technological renaissance. This era is a thrilling turning point, where the recovery of lostech reignites both hope and ambition across the Great Houses.
Spanning roughly 3025 to 3050, the Renaissance phase captures the Inner Sphere’s dramatic revival.
