They retconned the entire story behind Camelot Command. Apparently the Somerset Strikers found it the year before the Irregulars but we’re on a “secret” mission so they couldn’t tell anyone. The Strikers sourcebook and the cartoon both cover this poorly imho
Here's what Sarna net has to say.... The 1st Somerset Strikers were introduced in BattleTech: The Animated Series, a 1994 TV series that was fairly popular in its time, but took great liberties with established canon. To reconcile as much of the show as possible with BattleTech canon, the 1st Somerset Strikers sourcebook was produced which explained many apparent inconsistencies and provided game stats for some new pieces of technology that had been introduced by the show. This (fully canonical) sourcebook, as well as tidbits from numerous later sources, established the 1st Somerset Strikers and their exploits as shown in the show as canonical at least in broad strokes. I better understand all the meme's and jokes I see on other YT channels about the seemingly popular then, much ridiculed now, animated series. I cannot recall having ever seen it at the time, but between work, marriage, and a load of other things at that time, it's not surprising. That and it may not have aired in my area. I've seen the the sourcebook a few times but never bought a copy.

I had heard somewhere something of that sort. I never saw the cartoon or the sourcebook. I'll have to nose about and see if they're still around.

I just like the cartoon is considered cannonnas it was retconned as Lyran anti clan propaganda films.
