Apparent Castrophe is an original BattleTech novella penned by Michael A. Stackpole, the second of four parts of a serial novel. It was offered a backer reward for Harebrained Schemes' successful BattleTech (video game) Kickstarter campaign, and was released in electronic format on 28 March 2017 to Kickstarter backers who had pledged at least 50$ to the project.
Canonicity
At this time, the novella's Canon status is unclear. It does not technically fall under the current definition of Canon.
Line Developer Randall N. Bills had explicitly stated that the storyline of HBS's game was planned to become fully canonical; this would presumably also extend to the novellas offered on the sidelines as well. However, as of this writing no actual statement has been made yet to actually declare the novella as canonical.
