Apocryphal Product Although the subject of this article is an official BattleTech product, it does not meet the current criteria for Canon. Its content may or may not be canonical for the BattleTech universe, and for the purpose of the Sarna.net BattleTechWiki is considered apocryphal. |

Content | |
Comnet was the BattleTech magazine published quarterly by the MechForce United Kingdom (MFUK). Containing mostly internal MFUK news, it also had some original content like fluff for MFUK 'Mech designs.
Altogether 47 issues were produced. The 47th was accidentially mis-numbered as Issue 46; hence, two different Issues carry the number 46. The 47th and final issue contains the parting words from Bob Nicholls' wife Wendy, closing the doors on Mechforce UK under the heading "Widow Tech".
Canonicity
The Comnet magazine does not fall under the current definition of Canon for the BattleTech universe.
The MechForce UK organisation was officially sanctioned by FASA, therefore Comnet can arguably be regarded as an official (apocryphal) BattleTech publication. However, its content was not checked for continuity whatsoever by FASA.
