MWO Major Event: Prepare for the Battle Of Tukayyid

In BattleTech lore, the Battle of Tukayyid was a massive campaign that pit the combined forces of the invading Clans against the entirety of the Inner Sphere.
As the sole governing body of Terra - recognized by Clan and Inner Sphere alike as the jewel of the Inner Sphere - ComStar challenged the Clan forces to a 'batchall': a ritualistic trial of combat which the honor-bound Clans would not refuse. To prevent the total devastation of Terra and its unparalleled industrial infrastructure, it was agreed that the ultimate battle would instead take place on the remote agricultural world of Tukayyid.
If the Clans achieved victory under the stated terms, they would claim Terra without ever needing to step foot on its soil. If the Inner Sphere forces were able to hold the line at Tukayyid, the Clans would agree to a 15-year truce.
When the dust had settled, the Battle of Tukayyid had become the single largest engagement in the history of Mech warfare, and brought an end to the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere.
The Battle of Tukayyid is the first major event in the MechWarrior Online Community Warfare Beta phase.
