Additional tips
Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the wiki:

• For policies and guidelines, see The Five Core Policies of BattleTechWiki and the BTW Policies. Another good place to check out is our market of Projects, to see how the smaller communities within BTW do things in their particular niche areas.
• Each and every page (articles, policies, projects, images, etc.) has its very own discussion/talk page, found on the tab line at the top of the page. This is a great place to find out what the community is discussing along that subject and what previous issues have already been solved.
• If you want to play around with your new wiki skills, the Sandbox is for you. Don't worry: you won't break anything. A great resource for printing out is the Wiki Cheat Sheet.
• If you're not registered, then please consider doing so. At the very least, you'll have a UserPage that you own, rather than sharing one with the community.
• Also consider writing something about yourself on your UserPage (marked as "UomoUniversale" at the top of the page, though only do this if you're registered). You'll go from being a 'redshirt' to a 'blueshirt,' with the respect of a more permanent member.
  • This is really helpful for the admins, as it gives your account that touch of "humanity" that assists us in our never-ending battle with spambots.
• For your first few edits on the wiki, please do not add any URLs (which can be an indicator of SPAM).
• Consider introducing yourself on our Discord server.
• In your Preferences, under the edit tab, consider checking Add pages I create to my watchlist and Add pages I edit to my watchlist, so that you can see how your efforts have affected the community. Check back on following visits by clicking on watchlist.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random button in the sidebar, or check out the List of Wanted Pages. Or even go to Special Pages to see what weird stuff is actually tracked by this wiki.
• Please sign your name on Talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) or by clicking on the circled button in this image; this will automatically produce your name (or IP address, if you are editing anonymously) and the date.

Again, welcome to Sarna's BattleTechWiki!

Grey Death Legion

Hi UomoUniversale, thanks for your interest in updating our GDL page. Just a heads up that all info that's put on the page will need to be cited, or will risk being removed eventually. If you need more info, you can see here: Help:References. Thanks again for your help. Csdavis715 (talk) 22:27, 25 March 2024 (EDT)

Welcome from me, too!

Regarding the Gray Death Legion roster, for all we can determine from datamining the canon sources they had a lot of fluctuation with their spacecraft. In particular, they kept the names when swapping out ships. There were apparently two JumpShips named Invidious (of different classes) and the Phobos and Deimos were also originally Danais class merchanters and later replaced with Unions of the same name. I did a bit of research there back in the day when I wrote the articles on the individual vessels. (I do admit that there was probably author error behind the class change but canon is what it is now.) Frabby (talk) 02:50, 26 March 2024 (EDT)

Greetings All: I've been enjoying reading the pages and thought to add some more info. I'll have to figure out how to add the sources. They are all from the books. Good point regarding the different types of ships. I remember the Gray Death sourcebook giving different jumpship types for the Invidious.

I suppose better explanation would be that they were different ships, with the same designation. It certainly explains why they kept the name Invidious for the Jumpship. A name more in keeping for a pirate ship.
