The HoC Archive has been an attempt to preserve the in-game history of the Classic BattleTech inspired web game Neveron. Told from the perspective of Neveron's most influential and dominant alliance, the Harbingers of Chaos, it depicts the realities of war and peace as they were between the game's public release in 2001, and the game's community implosion of 2006.

The HoC Archive is a time capsule within which former players of the game can hopefully relive some glory days and whet their nostalgic appetite, and current players can understand the history behind some of the issues and realities that most likely continue to dominate their play.

The HoC Archive is, most of all, a gift to the many players that over the years helped contribute to its intricate story.

Early game history predating the HoC Alliance.

Dozens of wars and battles, including (but not limited to) the Kizo Wars of 2003-2004, the Nev Com Wars, the Clan War of 2005, and several post FWar incidents.

Biographies and empire details of many legendary HoC players and empires over the years, including many who ultimately joined the anti-HoC bloc.

The fabled HoC War Guide, the veritable land war-bible of HoC warriors during many of its largest wars.

A full index listing the exact page locations of hundreds of players and empires found within.

The core of The HoC Archive was written in Baghdad, Iraq, as stress relief during the author's off hours as a US Army infantryman. The first recognizable HoC Archive was released on October 27th of 2006, weighed in at 30 pages and was called the Harbingers of Chaos Military Archives. It took 8 major revisions and 256 additional pages to become the finished product available today. Research included review of over 5,000 sarna.net threads constituting nearly 50,000 individual posts, countless thousands of pages of IRC chat logs, and dozens of individual constributions by past and present players of all affiliations. The HoC Archive became a true community endeavor.

Meet the Author

Known on Neveron as Katrar (or Kato), Ryan has been an avid player since late 2001. A collegiate history major, it was perhaps unavoidable that his scholarly interests would align with his Nev-addiction. Born in the heart (and heat) of late summer Baghdad, the HoC Archive quickly took on a life of its own, growing in size and sophistication to become the most comprehensive and most widely read documentary text on Neveron ever written.

He currently lives in Olympia, Washington with his wife and daughter, and is quite happy to laugh in the face of any Anti-HoC that have the balls to attack what he calls his "unqualified Magnum Opus".
