Gray Markets

Gray Markets is a series of short stories that were published online on BattleCorps in PDF format between 10 July and 4 December 2016. They are not interconnected, but are all broadly concerned with the perks and pitfalls of the mercenary business in the BattleTech universe.

According to Assistant BattleCorps Editor Philip A. Lee, eight story pitches were approved but only six of the stories were ever submitted and subsequently published. Lee also confirmed all of the following stories as "Gray Markets" stories, even though this was not explicitly announced with some of them:

1. Forsaken by Alan Brundage (10 July 2016)
2. A Measure of Clarity by Philip A. Lee (3 August 2016)
3. Gustrell Switchback by Chris Hussey (29 August 2016)
4. In Service to the Dragon by David G. Martin (25 September 2016)
5. Murphy's Method by Craig A. Reed (16 October 2016)
6. Permanent Losses by Aaron Cahall (4 December 2016)
