A DARK UNIVERSE OF ENDLESS WAR... Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine is your key to victory amid the endless hordes of monstrous Abominations on the BattleMech-dominated battlefields of the fourth millennium and beyond!
In this special BattleTech Gothic-themed issue, a routine assault for Warrior House Stephenson turns to disaster when an unexpected foe seeks to destroy every last member. A Draconic Imperium police investigator hunts for a noble's murderer, but signs point to an inhuman killer that must be stopped at all costs. Ardan Sortek, commander of Duke Hanse Davion's bodyguards, must demonstrate his loyalty to the Shining Kingdoms of Avalon once and for all during a faltering attack on Halstead Station, because the price of treason is death...
Descend to a scorched planet now called the Abyss, a deadly, barely habitable wasteland from which no one has ever returned, whose storm-laden skies hide a secret worth killing for. Visit Apollo, former capital of the Rim Worlds Confederacy, left to fend for itself against native Abomination swarms for more than two centuries. Then get exiled to the Golden Unity, the only Great Realm where altered humans with monstrous features are treated like royalty rather than beasts.
Arm yourself with whatever it takes to survive the merciless dark of the Endless War, with advice on successful salvage operations on Abomination-infested planets, a rundown of secret societies pulling the strings of power in the Great Realms, and a look at the grim future of the Human Sphere. Then lead your troops to victory with unit digests, technical readouts, playable scenarios, and more, from BattleTech's front-line commanders:
