{{quote|'''''FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE!'''''

Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine'' surges onward, waging wars that will decide the fate of the [[BattleMech]]-dominated future of the 31st century and beyond! Follow a quest for quick cash that yields unusual [[Star League]] relics. Commiserate with an aging [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] convinced he is cursed with the devil’s luck—which is about to run out. Listen to the tale of how [[mercenary]] commander [[Ace Darwin]] obtained his iconic ’Mech—but how much of his story is true? Within these pages, you will visit [[Terra]] after the dawn of the [[ilClan era]], venture into the postwar period of the [[Aurigan Coalition]], and travel to the far-flung worlds of the [[Scorpion Empire]] in the [[Deep Periphery]]. Then you will dive into the intrigue and vice of [[Solaris VII]] in the beginning of a new, four-part serial novel.

Choose your plan of attack with technical readouts, after-action reports, a deep dive into plasma technology, a treatise on covert-ops poisons, and a look at [[Free Worlds League]] politics, along with playable scenarios and more—all loaded into your autocannon by both ''BattleTech'' veterans and new voices from the [[Inner Sphere]].''}}
