BattleCorps
Sarna News
BattleCorps is a subscription-based website that features original Classic BattleTech fiction, as well as other products and services.[1] BattleCorps is owned and run by InMediaRes Productions, LLC, the parent company of Catalyst Game Labs. InMediaRes was founded in 2003 by Loren and Heather Coleman with the expressed purpose of licensing the right to publish new, canon Classic BattleTech fiction to the Internet from WizKids.[2] Wizkids granted this license to IMR in the fall of 2003, which directly led to the creation of BattleCorps in August 2004.[3]
In addition to publishing CBT stories, BattleCorps also publishes original and reprinted scenarios for CBT play, and "news" stories that add flavor to the fictional universe. The website also features a forum where members can post and a chatroom that is sometimes used for interactive question-and-answer sessions with CBT writers and administrators.
BattleCorps also has a store known as the BattleShop that carries new books, takes preorders, and sells electronic versions of new books, as well as some older titles. New or returning members can also purchase stories that were published when they were not members here. Many members of BattleCorps also became part of the BattleCorps Regiment, a group that posts pictures of painted miniatures and roleplays through the forum. This group was canonized as a mercenary unit, The Battle Corps.
