'''''Clan Spaniel Sourcebook''''', the [[:Category:April Fools Products|2024 April Fools product]], is a sourcebook about [[The Adventures of Clan Spaniel]], an in-universe holovid show for Clan children.
+
'''''Clan Spaniel Sourcebook''''', the [[:Category:April Fools Products|2024 April Fools product]], is a non-canon comedic sourcebook which compliments BattleCorp scenarior ''[[Clan Spaniel Saves Strana Mechty]]''.
  
The sourcebook gives a history of the show, including how it influenced and was influenced by major events in Clan history. It also includes an episode script, profiles of the show's major characters and factions, and scenarios based on several episodes - including a reprint of the [[BattleCorps]] scenario ''[[Clan Spaniel Saves Strana Mechty]]''.
+
The sourcebook was written as in-universe accounts of the fictional Clan devised as a children's holovid program as part their education. These adventures give accounts of the fictional canine themed Clan's history from it's founding and last known episodes during the fictional version of the Jihad.
  
==Canonicity==
+
The sourcebook provides profiles of anthropomorph versions of canon character, scenarios, RPG, and units for the crossover fiction universes covered therein.
While April Fools products are generally presumed non-[[canon]], in a January 2024 [https://www.sarna.net/news/battletech-in-2024-an-interview-with-line-developer-ray-arrastia-assistant-line-developer-aaron-cahall/ Sarna interview,] [[Line Developer]] [[Ray Arrastia]] stated that this was "going to be a canon product." [[Assistant Line Developer]] [[Aaron Cahall (person)|Aaron Cahall]] affirmed: "Yes. Basically, yes." Lead author [[Eric Salzman]] [[:File:SalzmanClanSpanielSourcebookCanonicity.PNG|confirmed]] on the day of release that the product is canon.

''For generations, every freeborn and trueborn in the Kerensky Cluster was raised in the Way of the Clans, learning their culture’s traditions, taboos, caste roles, and philosophies through The Adventures of Clan Spaniel. Clan children were engrossed with the Spaniels’ missions to defeat the evil Monkey Tribes and restore the Star League, subconsciously forging their own identities in the process.''<br>
