Thanatos Lore, by Randall Bills, is a short story published for MechWarrior Online.

Plot summary

The short story narrates an engagement on Swartklip in 3066 between MechWarrior Felix Grimstead, an alcoholic mercenary with a personal BattleMech called Hangover, with raiders who attempt to ambush him in a swamp called Petey's Bog.

Canonicity

Although MechWarrior Online as such does not fall under the current criteria for Canon, the fiction going with the games' "Hero 'Mechs"—written largely by Randall Bills who at the time was also the incumbent BattleTech Line Developer at Catalyst Game Labs—was expressly declared fully canonical. At the same time, the Hero 'Mechs themselves and the configurations offered by MechWarrior Online were still not considered canon beyond what was expressly put down in the fiction pieces.
