Presented in fantasy theme, unique & custom [[BattleMechs|BattleMechs]] and [[battle armor]] fluff write-up are notable pilots. The units in this produced utilize Inner Sphere and Clan [[Experimental Technology|experimental technology]] with [[BattleTech]] stats, record sheets, and game rules for this time period. Included in this product also are rules to allow for a Solaris style tournament, special rules for stables & arenas, and printable Maps of Solaris VII. ==Canonicity== Previous April Fools publications were tongue-in-cheek publications that were typically not meant to be [[canon]]. When ''XTRO: Royal Fantasy'' was released Assistant [[Line Developer]] [[Ben H. Rome]] expressly said that it was not canonical but at the same time author [[Herbert A. Beas II]] said<ref>In [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php/topic,38471.0.html this thread] on the official [[BattleTech Forum]]</ref> that he deliberately wrote the book as closely to canon as possible, and described it as "semi-canon". In a posting dated 23 July 2015, Herb Beas explicitly listed it as "XTR: Royal Fantasy Tournament - Canon. Stats and all."<ref>In [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/general-discussion/tech-of-tro-1945/msg1100406/#msg1100406 this thread], also copied to this article's [[Talk:Experimental Technical Readout: Royal Fantasy|talk page]] for reference."</ref> ''Royal Fantasy''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s units have since been added to the canonical [[Master Unit List]], settling the matter. ==Product Description== {{Quote|'''''It’s a Whole New World (Please Don’t Sue!)'''''
