{{quote|'''''EVER VIGILANT'''''

''Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine is your latest intel report on enemy movements across the war-torn, [[BattleMech]]-dominated battlefields of the 31st century and beyond!''

''Among the shattered remnants of the [[Free Worlds League]], a Marik [[Protector]] vows to track down a missing compatriot and save them from an unspeakable fate in the [[Marian Hegemony]]. A pirate-hunting [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses]] [[Elemental]] must do anything to escape a dead-end unit and erase the shame of the [[Mark of Hell]], even if it leaves her unarmed and vulnerable. When a [[Republic Armed Forces]] pilot program seeks to showcase the effectiveness of remote-controlled 'Mechs, the controllers discover life and death is real, no matter what side of the screen you're on.''

''Step onto a not-so-abandoned rock in the [[Deep Periphery]] where the inhabitants guard a secret worth killing for. Visit [[New Samarkand]], the temporary capital of the [[Draconis Combine]], for the most audacious heist of the century. Then stop at [[Paradise]] for a while, where mercenary commander [[Ace Darwin]] not-so-discreetly test-drives an under-wraps 'Mech prototype. Finally, end your journey through the [[Inner Sphere]] on [[Galatea]], the [[Mercenary's Star]], for the latest [[Death Kangaroos]] (mis)adventure from [[Michael A. Stackpole]]. And make sure you stick around for the brutal conclusion of [[Russell Zimmerman]]’s serial novel, [[Violent Inception]].''

''Guard yourself against surprise attacks with in-depth looks at the [[Free Guilds]] of [[Clan]] society; the [[Federated Suns]]' attempt to recover from the [[Palmyra Disaster]] on [[3144]]; the lawless "free zones" on some [[Lyran Commonwealth]] worlds; and the [[Hyperpulse Generator|hyperpulse generators]] that make interstellar communication possible. Then strike back with playable scenarios, technical readouts, and more, from BattleTech veterans and the newest enlistees:
