Canonicity
The Barchetta's Lightning Brigade series is entirely non-canonical and effectively amounts to mere fan fiction. Neither the author nor the publisher obtained the legal rights to publish BattleTech material. Although conceived as a commercial product, the book's content does not even qualify as apocryphal for lack of any official sanction.
Canonicity/continuity problems
The novels have been not checked for compliance with established BattleTech Canon and continuity. As a result, it does not fit into the BattleTech universe. Known issues include:
