Hellfire Lore and Blueprint is a short story by Randall N. Bills published for MechWarrior Online Legends' Hero 'Mech Lore series in MWO's public internet forum.

Canonicity[edit]

Although MechWarrior Online Legends as such does not fall under the current criteria for canon, the fiction for the Hero 'Mechs written by Randall N. Bills—who at the time was also the incumbent BattleTech Line Developer at Catalyst Game Labs—was expressly declared fully canonical. This ruling was however reversed in January 2025 by Bills' successor Ray Arrastia[1], such that these short stories are not canonical, and can only be considered Apocryphal.

Plot Summary[edit]

The story takes place on Arcadia in 3063 and narrates an ambush by a Trinary of Clan Star Adder, led by Galaxy Commander Vanel Talasko in his personal BattleMech Void, against Dark Caste bandits.
