Hellspawn Lore! 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 Stein's Folly in 3065 and narrates the betrayal and destruction of the small mercenary unit Jepso's Jaguars through pirates let by Greta Halperin in her personal BattleMech Paralyzer, who had previously infiltrated the unit under the alias "Jane."
