The magazine was mocked up with a typewriter, and it includes an art image of a [[DCMS|Kuritan]] ''[[BattleMaster]]'' raising from water and engaging a ''[[Marauder]]''.

An adventure was added in this magazine: '''The Campaign of Minos IV'''. Starting on a noncanonical planet (Minos IV), the player characters are asked to defend this [[Rasalhague]] District planet (setting this adventure in the [[Third Succession War]] as otherwise the [[DCMS]] was not contracting mercenaries) against pirate raids. The adventure will send them on pursue of [[Redjack Ryan]] and to ride [[Butte Hold]].

+
A small BattleMech TRO was created, with six new designs:  
 
+
* Ballista
It is described as a list of rare, unreliable or in some cases useless 'Mechs.  This included :
+
* Box
 
+
* Jack
* Ballista BLS-2H : 65 ton pure LRM boat. (not to be confused with the [[Ballista]] self propelled artillery tank)
+
* Hawk
* Box BX-8S : 80 ton framework 'Mech. (see note)
+
* Meteor (not to be confused with the [[Meteor]] conventional fighter
* Jack JCK-3E : 20 ton 'ejection system 'Mech. (see note)
+
* Sprite
* Hawk HWK-4W : 30 ton with a Sonic Cannon (see note)
 
* Meteor MTR-5H : 70 ton with double the # of JJs (4/6/8) allowed. (not to be confused with the [[Meteor]] conventional fighter)
 
* Sprite SPT-2R : 15 ton with double the # of JJs (3/5/6 move) allowed.
 
 
 
===Notes===
 
The Box and Jack were a single joined 'Mech, it was an experiment to create an ejection system that was essentially an entire 'Mech in and of itself.  The Jack was little more than Internal Structure with a huge engine giving it a 12/18 move.  The head itself could further eject from the body of the Jack.
 
  
The Hawk's entry had it listed as an HWK-3W, but all desctiption text called it an HWK-4W.  The Sonic Cannon did 5 Heat and 10 Damage, but had a 6 out of 2d6 chance of failing and not firing. Over time the chance would increase up to "9"
