Kodiak Lore and Blueprint is a short story by Randall N. Bills published for MechWarrior Online Legends' Hero 'Mech Lore series in MWO's public internet forum.

Canonicity

Although MechWarrior Online Legends as such does not fall under the current criteria for canon, the fiction for the Hero 'Mechs written by Randall N. Bills—who at the time was also the incumbent BattleTech Line Developer at Catalyst Game Labs—was expressly declared fully canonical. This ruling was however reversed in January 2025 by Bills' successor Ray Arrastia[1], such that these short stories are not canonical, and can only be considered Apocryphal.

Plot Summary

The story takes places on Soverzene during the early stages of the Clan Invasion in 3050 and narrates an engagement between the Second Alshain Regulars and elements of Clan Ghost Bear's Beta Galaxy, under Galaxy Commander Laurie Tseng in her personal BattleMech Spirit Bear.
