<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{NotCanon}}<br /> <br /> Created by [[Peter La Casse]] and colloquially known as the &#039;&#039;&#039;(Peter) La Casse (Faction) List&#039;&#039;&#039; (and by many similar names, often spelling his surname as a single word as &quot;LaCasse&quot; or &quot;Lacasse&quot;), this faction list document is a fan-made online resource for [[BattleTech]].<br /> <br /> In its time, the list was widely known (and used) throughout the fanbase; even some BattleTech authors and developers have said they used it as a quick-reference resource for their work.{{cn}} It became outdated over time as more and more additional units were published. Another, more detailed and more up-to-date fan project, the [[3025-3050 Random Assignment Tables]], eventually supplanted the La Casse Faction List.<br /> <br /> In 2011, [[Catalyst Game Labs]] published an official [[Master Unit List]] which is considered fully [[canonical]], essentially supplanting the La Casse list with an official publication.<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> The list itself is a text (.txt) file listing factional availability of all types of [[BattleMech]]s, [[ProtoMech]]s, [[battle armor]], [[vehicle]]s, [[infantry]] types, [[conventional aircraft]], [[aerospace fighter]]s, [[DropShip]]s, [[small craft]], [[JumpShip]]s, [[WarShip]]s and [[space station]]s (to the extent to which they were published at the time). Besides availability to a given faction, it also lists the unit&#039;s [[Battle Value]] (BV 1.0 and BV 2.0), tonnage, cost, rules level, tech base and era.<br /> <br /> Availability was provided in a strictly binary fashion, i.e. in a Yes or No format. The list made no attempt to take production numbers or proliferation into account.<br /> <br /> A changelog and a FAQ section are also available from the [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~lacasse/factionlist/ Faction list directory]. The last update date is given as 12 February 2007.<br /> <br /> ==Canonicity==<br /> Being fan-made, the list itself is not canonical; instead, it is a collection of otherwise canonical data and thus a [[meta-source]].<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~lacasse/ &quot;Peter&#039;s Home Page&quot;], with a link to his BattleTech sub-page (notably, the homepage does not appear to have a link to the faction list)<br /> * [http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~lacasse/factionlist/ Faction list page] on the homepage server<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Meta-Sources]]</div>
