[[Record sheet|Record sheets]] for three unique [[BattleMech|'Mechs]] and five [[WarShip|WarShips]] are also included.
 
== From the Back Cover ==
{{Quote|'''''SIAN ABLAZE!'''''

''The most important world in the [[Capellan Confederation]], the verdant and serene capital has been the seat of the [[Chancellor of the Capellan Confederation|Chancellor's]] power for centuries.''

''Then came the [[Jihad]]. And more damaging, the betrayal of one of [[House Liao|Liao's]] own blood.''

'''Jihad Turning Points: Sian '''''fleshes out the details of the conflicts that swirl across this pivotal world published in various Jihad Plot Sourcebooks. Additionally, players can join one of the myriad of forces fighting for control—and survival—of the center of House Liao's ''[sic!]'' heart and soul.''

''This campaign series uses the ''[[Chaos Campaign]]'' rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns and even create their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a "Sian flavor." The ebook includes a detailed map of the world of Sian, a run down of the forces involved in the conflict, and several tracks that players can use to run simple lance-on-lance battles, or stage up to a world-wide invasion. Only the players' imaginations are the limits.''}}
