On this blog i'll be showing various Fanon projects i've worked on, talking about the setting in general, about 'Mechs both canon and not as well as other people fannon Projects. This is because one of the strengths of the Battletech community is its creators and those who helped keep the game alive during the fallow years and they deserve to be recognised.

So I welcome folks and I always welcome thoughts and feedback, good or bad.

Unlike many other scifi series or settings, there's no intelligent alien life that has been discovered. At least officially.
