* The ''E.F. Marie'' is among the canonical items featured in the 2014 Halloween special product ''[[Empires Aflame]]''. The focus of that product was an (expressly noncanonical) alternate universe; the misjump of the ''Celeste'' served as the entry point for the players into that other universe. Canonically, the ''Celeste'' vanished and its fate remains unknown.<ref>See also [http://bg.battletech.com/forums/general-discussion/let%27s-talk-about-%27empires-aflame%27-here-warning-spoiler-city!!!!/msg985883/#msg985883 this posting]: "And, as already mentioned, yeah, that's all pretty much canon--right up to the point the players' ship fires up its KF drive for the last leg of its journey...and vanishes from the Prime setting forever."</ref>
