Browse and search
Choose Rules > Commander cards. Era, Faction category, Faction, Commander family and Search all default to All or blank; you may start with any filter. Categories include Great Houses, Clans, Periphery States, Mercenary Commands, Other States, Religious/Military Organizations and Pirates. Undated or unclassified custom records remain available where applicable.
Era shows the six supported collection periods and their date ranges; each result also shows the deck’s precise dated snapshot. Dark Age includes the Republic interval. Categories and factions narrow to records in the selected era, with counts. A faction selection stays selected if it is still available; incompatible category or faction selections clear to All.
Filters update results without reloading the page. Search also recognizes explicitly recorded aliases and related faction identities, without merging successor states. Use Apply filters when JavaScript is unavailable. Filtered URLs may be bookmarked or shared; browser Back and Forward restore earlier searches.
Results group the two commander families by faction and dated period, with portrait thumbnails where a deck has a portrait. Twelve groups appear per page. Use the first/previous/next/last buttons or page-number control. Changing filters returns to page one. A zero-result notice offers ways to broaden the search and does not imply a faction never existed.
Open Preview and evidence for the A–E fronts and backs and their research evidence. Back to commander cards retains filters and page context. Print deck opens a separate tab. Only complete shared decks built from retained published shared card versions appear publicly; drafts, campaign-only records, archived cards/decks and incomplete decks are excluded.
MechWarrior and Star Captain are force commander compatibility families, not individual-unit behavior. Printed titles match the faction and command scale. Five letters are strategy states of one commander. Original researched archetypes need tabletop balance testing.
Print without signing in
Open a deck and choose Print this deck. Choose Letter or A4, long-edge or short-edge duplex, optional cut marks and front/back offsets in millimeters. Open calibration PDF or Open duplex PDF opens a separate tab, keeping the settings page available.
Print at Actual size / 100% and use the selected duplex flip direction. Cards are 2.5 × 3.5 inches. Print a calibration sheet before bulk printing. Offsets outside the paper are rejected, with entered values retained for correction.
Anonymous print settings are used only for that PDF. They do not save a printer profile or print-job history. Sign-in and GM/Admin permissions are still required for creating cards, campaign copies, deck editing and saved printer profiles.
Published library updates
Administrators install approved bundled decks through Admin > Database updates. Public availability follows saved shared publication status, not local draft files or campaign data. Old published versions selected in a shared deck remain available until that deck changes or is archived.
This includes the original Jade Falcon starters and the approved Clan Invasion archetypes after their database updates are applied. Generic portraits are not canonical likenesses. No SPA/SCA grant is automatically applied by reading or printing these cards.
Deck portrait
Every published deck uses its own saved portrait for all A–E cards. A mixed deck may use a different portrait from either source deck. Public previews and duplex PDFs use that deck’s current portrait; previously saved application print files keep their original appearance.
