The Spider Dances (Proliferation, Part VI) (full title), by Jason Schmetzer, is the sixth and final story in the Proliferation Cycle and narrates how the Capellan Confederation first obtained BattleMech technology. It was released together with a BattleCorps Exclusive bonus, a Technical Readout for the Dragonfire aerospace fighter featured in the story.
The original sixth story in the series, Machine Nations, was submitted by Loren Coleman but it reportedly fell through due to an unspecified factchecking problem and could not be salvaged. The story had already been announced as the final installment of the series and became one of the more prominent cases of BattleTech vaporware until it was formally replaced by The Spider Dances after six years.
