[UNLOCKED] Tatsumaki Class (w. Tex Talks Battletech)

November 5, 2026 · 1 h 30 min

Show notes

In the wake of Operation:REVIVAL, House Kurita embarked on a crash WarShip development program to try and match the naval superiority of the Clans. Today, we are joined by Dr. Randolph P. Checkers, one of the Periphery’s finest historians, to discuss one product of this program, the ill-fated Tatsumaki Class destroyer.

If you want a primer on Battletech, check out Tex’s video on Twycross or his guide to the Inner Sphere!
