It appeared that peace arrived in 3080 after many years of war. Finally, information
could be gathered about units that fought in the Jihad. These unknown designs have
arisen from the shadows. We have also received more data regarding the fall of the
Star League, with new units that fought in that war.

The Technical Readout Shadows of War 1.0 is the translated version of a much
