Unseen: A History of FASA, Battledroids and BattleTech is a fan-made real-world treatise covering FASA, the BattleTech franchise, and the Unseen lawsuits. It was published in PDF format for free download (see External Links below).
Written by Michael "Sigil" Todd, who previously already authored the Technical Readout: 3028 fan product and other publications, the ebook contains substantial original research by the author who, according to himself, conducted interviews with Sam Lewis and Robert N. Charrette in the process of gathering information for this book.
Canonicity[edit]
The concept of Canon is arguably not applicable to the book, as it is not written as a contribution to the BattleTech universe but instead is a work about BattleTech. Its Technical Readout section is likewise primarily concerned with the real-world publication history of the designs in question.
In any case, the work is neither in a position to nor is it intended to contribute new or additional content to BattleTech canon.
