Ben Rome's work includes the acclaimed ''[[The Wars of Reaving]]'' and ''[[Combat Manual: Kurita]]'' and is held in particularly high esteem by the fan base, who had nothing but praise and good wishes for him and expressed regret at his decision to leave BattleTech.

: [[Line Developer]] [[Randall N.

The storyline for the upcoming [[BattleTech (Video Game)]] is also intended to be canonical. This is notable as computer games are otherwise expressly excluded from the definition of canon, being considered apocryphal instead.
 
 
 
*01 January 2016: '''A Happy New Year!''' ([[User:Frabby|Frabby]])
 
: 2015 was another great year to be a BattleTech fan. The ''[[Unseen]]'' issue is finally going away through the retroactive introduction of new designs that actually look recognizably like the earlier, unseen images. New print novels have been announced (and a small print run of one was sold at GenCon).<br />On the Sarna.net BattleTechWiki side of things, we've seen a continuous drive to improve the existing database, and another 549 new articles added this past year. The 20,000th article will probably be written this year, which is very exciting.<br />The signs are good. Here's to a great 2016!
