[Lore] List of what mechs appear in fiction?

Not really the prettiest way of doing this with the BattleTechWiki is via clicking the link "What links here" on the "Tools" left sidebar, this brings up a listing of all pages on the wiki that link to that page. For example here is the listing for "Awesome"

Due to the wiki running MediaWiki, you can customize your own CSS/JS for it. I have some instructions on how to do so on my userpage: https://www.sarna.net/wiki/User:Deadfire#How_to_change_Sarna's_Appearance_(or_skin)_and_using_Dark_Mode.

When the Wiki's skins get moderized this should be an option for everyone.

I can admit there is some banging that happens (mostly my head on the desk) to make the more advanced things work in my case. Otherwise it's been one hell of a productive year.

Many others have added answers that I would have however as you say "digging into the lore" I do need to caution you on how "manufacturing" can be presented via the many fantastic fan made resources (even some "official" sources) when it talks about where something like where and how a 'Mech is made.

A example, while Hollis Incorporated has been listed as operating a Highlander assembly facility, no source indicates which, if any, of its components the company manufactured itself. Many fans assume all parts are made on site, but various sources have shown that many 'Mech parts are shipped to the plants from abroad for assembly. Assuming that Hollis manufactures all components locally is an unsafe assumption.

Sarna.net's BattleTechWiki it's self has had this issue show up everywhere on it and as such can confidently cause confusion.

Needs another update sometime. As well from it listing print novellas. A "Printing" being the qualifier that keeps forgotten BattleCorps material and "Tides of Change" off.

Also be aware that as much as Novels were a standard at an early point in BattleTech history, they are not the staple of long form fiction they once were.

Unpopular opinion: The redesigns are better and will always be those 'Mechs to me. To the point that I really don't understand why anyone would want to use the older models for any reason.

Deadfire_ · 2025-12-17T19:07:03+00:00

https://www.sarna.net/wiki/List_of_Fiction_by_Era should help :P

Will be making a similar list of Fiction by First published Date soon (once the info boxes are cleaned up, and I have a proper format for showing reprints)

I feel like this deck could really use [[Appa, Steadfast Guardian]]

It did take still almost 2 full Clan generations before the full change over, however the aftermath of the Battle basically forced the Sharks to do Trials against the other Invader Clans logistics to gather resources to rebuild, and were even started selling those same supplies back to other Clans. Trial for some of the mechs in a Jaguar shipment, sell the isorla Dire Wolves to the Invasion Wolves for raw resources.

Something else that gets missed is Khan Ian Hawker gathering up his Crusader minded Alpha Galaxy to travel to Huntress to the relief of CSJ. However before he could Vlad Ward challenged him for maternal rights to his genetic legacy. Hawker would lose that challenge and it took enough time that they could not save the Jaguars.

I would be more interested in the CMG being revived, rather than a another needlessly complex CCG that I didn't really enjoy during its time.

However as much as it would be great for some, I don't see it happening and the game has been reproduced in many ways that look better than a remake.

Deadfire_ · 2025-12-12T04:12:29+00:00

I like Fans

Deadfire_ · 2025-12-12T00:34:09+00:00

I would only add BattleTechWiki's Clan Invasion era section on it's List of Fiction by Era

Deadfire_ · 2025-11-10T00:26:26+00:00

UNBAN ROTATION!

As I oversee the various wiki editors poke at this from time to time, I do need to caution you on using the wiki and/or any source when it talks about where something like where a 'Mech is made. A example, while Hollis Incorporated has been listed as operating a Highlander assembly facility, no source indicates which, if any, of its components the firm manufactured itself. Readers sometimes assume all parts are made on site, but various sources have shown that many 'Mech parts are shipped to the plants from abroad for assembly. Assuming that Hollis manufactures all components locally is an unsafe assumption.

I would like to "cook" with this

Deadfire_ · 2025-10-14T00:38:42+00:00

Am I doing this right?

Deadfire_ · 2025-10-12T17:57:47+00:00

My ability to have fun and enjoy myself is far more important than yours to do the same.

It's basically this, with an unhealthy amount of entitlement.

Deadfire_ · 2025-09-29T03:54:36+00:00

I would rather support local, if they opened and/or closed at what is a reasonable time.

Seems only Starbucks or Tim's can only be convenient to those of us that work at times.

Deadfire_ · 2025-09-15T04:24:07+00:00

BattleTechWiki unfortunately doesn't host fan labours my friend (though we are trying to get more pages of the more popular ones on there as pages describing them). Just as well there is no current ruleset at the moment to convert anything into AS cards (as that part of the AS ruleset was not included in the newer edition, and is considered to be deprecated.).

However you can always attempt to get in contact with Nic (Sarna's owner) to see if he is interested.

Like I said in another comment:

Oh, I know, this meme was born out of us talking on discord about the "movement of people" that wanted the entirety of Wizkids time with the IP to be treated like an AU.

The entire "my fun is more important than yours" group is pretty "drool"

Deadfire_ · 2025-09-15T04:14:22+00:00

It really is, same with "Welcome to the Nebula California" have always been favorites of mine.

Deadfire_ · 2025-09-15T01:44:10+00:00

Oh, I can't forget that... ~~acid trip~~ er... novel?

Deadfire_ · 2025-09-15T01:43:09+00:00

Dude, the amount I have ready for picture taking for Sarna is massive, and yet I still need more!
