Catastrophe Unlimited is an original BattleTech novella penned by Michael A. Stackpole, the third of four parts of a serial novel.

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 canonical.
