Honor & Glory

Honor & Glory is a series of BattleTech fiction announced by Catalyst Game Labs as unlockable stretch goals for the BattleTech: Clan Invasion crowdfunding campaign which ran from 18 July 2019 to August 18 2019.

Honor & Glory was specifically intended to provide opportunities for appearances from "Senior Backers" who had contributed for canon characters to appear in fiction at various scales based on level of contribution. As all stories of the series were created in response to the campaign they were known only be their respective "Level" until their release. Various pledge tiers were to receive the Honor & Glory stories free as part of their included digital rewards, though only Star Commander tier backers were intended to receive them all, the lower pledge tiers being provided the option to purchase the remaining stories as add-ons. Delays and technical difficulties around ensuring each entry was released to all intended recipients ultimately led the series being provided to all backers irrespective of pledge tier via the Catalyst Games Lab online store on 20 December 2024.
