* Pirate leader [[Morgan Fletcher II|Morgan Fletcher]] is depicted as an attractive blonde woman in her thirties who has an affair with Beauregard; other (canonical) sources describe her as "a swarthy, swaggering woman whose actions are motivated as much by her hatred of men (especially those of the Inner Sphere) as from a genuine love of wealth" who had been in charge of the [[Belt Pirates]] of [[Star's End]] since before [[3025]], making her at least 45 years old as of [[3050]]. It could be assumed that either the earlier reports were inaccurate, or that the Morgan Fletcher depicted in the Fallout Comics is actually the daughter of the original Morgan Fletcher.

* A ''[[Rakshasa]]'' is provided by the Belt Pirates of Star's End although this 'Mech type first became available five years later. The availability of a ''[[Raven]]'' and a ''[[Wolf Trap]]'' to the pirates, while not outright impossible, is also highly unlikely.

Published in February 1995 between issues #3 and #4, this "special edition" includes three very short stories all set in May 3050: an "Introduction to the BattleTech universe" by [[Jordan Weisman]], an article about Jordan Weisman, and a section called "BattleTech Sketch Book" that gives sketches and brief descriptions of some of the characters.

The first story depicts a ''[[Jenner]]'' on patrol duty on Evciler where the pilot witnesses the combat drop of the [[Clan Jade Falcon]] assault force. The ''Jenner'' is quickly hunted down and a ''[[Timber Wolf (Mad Cat)]]'' steps on the cockpit, killing the pilot and declaring his intention to do this to the entire [[Inner Sphere]].

* [[Bedford Beauregard]] – A Lieutenant of the [[Grave Walkers]] [[mercenary unit]] stationed on [[Bone-Norman]]. His right arm is a bionic prosthesis. Separated from his unit while on a supply run to [[Somerset]], he takes charge of the fugitives and forges them into the irregular unit called "Fallout". As it turns out, he and pirate queen Morgan Fletcher have a relationship. Throughout the comic series he pilots a ''JagerMech'', but it remains unclear if this 'Mech (which was salvaged from the DropShip crash) was originally his own.

* [[Morgan Fletcher II|Morgan Fletcher]] – The pirate queen of Star's End. Ruthless and manipulative, yet she and Beauregard were lovers once and take up the affair. Her left eye is an implanted prosthesis.

* [[Lea Specter|Lea Barbara Specter]] – Military instructor and also a graduate from the Somerset Military Academy. Estranged sister of [[Rachel Specter]] of the [[1st Somerset Strikers]]. Her fiancé was killed in the Jade Falcon attack there (it is expressly confirmed in the intro on page 2 of Issue #0 that she is the woman called "Barbara" in that issue's second story). Although Specter technically outranks Beauregard, she lacks experience and has to accept that he put himself in charge.
