Welcome to the main page of this wiki!
--------------------------------------

When editing this page, please note a few things:

* The inexperienced may want to check out the "How to help" section on the "community portal" article linked on the sidebar.
* Remember this page is the most public face of the wiki - test edits are best done on a separate page.
* Sections within "<! --" and "-- >" markers (without the spaces) - like this entire section - are hidden comments, and can be separated by several lines. Be sure not to break them.
* We strongly recommend you do not change the <mainpage-leftcolumn-start /> style tags - these keep your page format safe from unexpected breaks - the left column is first, followed by the right column. See http://help.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Main_page_column_tags for more info.

Please note that Wikia protection policy advises against the protection of this page unless it is the active target of vandalism.

* Protecting the main page can do more harm than good, for example by preventing links being added.
* See http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Protection for more info.

;12-3-2020
:Since 2019, 3-4 new current/live fan stories currently actively being written are being added. New materials for various fan projects new and old have been added.

;10-7-2023
:Fan projects still being added, not as many as used to. With (always) permission, fan stories & other projects being added from various sources.  Including; forums of bg.battletech.com & SpaceBattles.com.  However, there is only one person doing this, so its going slow.  Fans are free add their own content to the wiki as long it's not Rated R.

;4-2024
: Fan Stories continue to be gathered, SpaceBattles still has thriving fan content community, bg.battletech.com's forums is less so active due to draw down of players (people liking forums...)  Again, as the main editor of the Wiki, its up to fans coming to the wiki and contributing / archiving their projects here. There not been as many sourcebooks/TROs project made these past years, however, never give up on doing what you love!
