Legacy (subtitle: A BattleTech Anthology) is a print anthology of thirteen short stories from different authors, plus a foreword by editor Philip A. Lee and an "About the Authors" section.
Although described as an anthology, it can arguably be described as a serial novel as the individual short story episodes narrate the overarching story of a single individual BattleMech as it is passed down from one MechWarrior to the next over a span of three centuries.
From the back cover
| “ | LIFE IS CHEAP. BATTLEMECHS ARE NOT.
A Draconis Combine warrior struggles with immoral orders in the First Succession War. A House Davion MechWarrior participates in a risky heist as part of Operation Guerrero. A history buff battles the Word of Blake during the Liberation of Terra. What do these MechWarriors have in common? Each one pilots the same BattleMech, a survivor that has been repaired and rebuilt countless times throughout its long and bloody 300-year lifespan. |

War orphan William "Billy" Northrup doesn't know what to do with his life. He finds the Grasshopper's cockpit bulkhead in a museum on Terra in 3084. A plaque informs him that this bulkhead is the only piece that was preserved from a 'Mech that was built in 2779 and surrendered to Exarch Devlin Stone's Military Materiel Redemption Program in 3083. The many pilots who etched their names into the bulkhead inspire Billy to make a lasting contribution to history, and sets him on the way to become a RAF MechWarrior who, upon receiving a factory-fresh Nyx in 3090, etches his name into a metal plate in the cockpit in memory of his father.
