Objective Raids: 3067

Description

Objective Raids: 3067 is a fan-made sourcebook by William "MadCapellan" Gauthier and originally released on the CBT forums as a PDF file. It is compiled of information from numerous official sources, such as Technical Readouts and other sourcebooks. It was meant to provide an expanded and updated successor to the popular, but error-ridden Objective Raids sourcebook.

Canonicity

Since it is entirely fan-made, Objective Raids: 3067 is itself not a source of canonical information.

However, with the exception of its fictional backstory within the universe, the book is essentially a compilation of canonical data (sometimes only inferred, not stated) drawn exclusively from canonical sources. It could thus be described as a meta-source, "quasi-canonical" in the author's own words. An introductory section deals with the issue of canonicity in some detail.

Contents

The book opens with an introduction by Gauthier discussing his reasons for writing the book, as well as a caution regarding its "quasi-canon" nature.

It also contains a minimum of non-official fiction (Fanon) to provide setting. According to its in-universe backstory, the book is a document that was transmitted by Jessica Clarent, a Precentor VI-Mu at the Comstar Archives on Tukayyid, to Precentor Martial Victor Steiner-Davion which was intercepted by by Capellan Huang Di Shi Zhe agents secreted within a ComStar HPG facility.

• For the purposes of BattleTechWiki, Objective Raids: 3067 is considered a meta-source. In that regards, while it may be used as a source of information for articles, it is unsuitable as a reference. As some information presented is only inferred (not stated) from official sources, questions as to canonicity of fact must be answered with the original official source.
