About
The Skjaldborg Battle Roster is a detailed organizational mind map for a large-scale BattleTech unit, comprising over 620 nodes across 5 main branches.

The template includes specific unit names such as '1st Company "Yggdrasil" (NA Based)' and '2nd Company "Urðarbrunnr" (Meets Thursdays 6:30pm PST)', with a LEGEND explaining officer ranks like BrCO and enlisted roles.
