'''''The Corps''''' (subtitle: '''''BattleCorps Anthology Vol. 1''''') is a print anthology of 17 short stories previously published via [[BattleCorps]], and an 18th, previously unpublished story (''[[Destiny's Challenge]]'') that continues the storyline of ''[[Destiny's Call]]''.
 
  
It also includes a Foreword by the editor, [[Loren L. Coleman]], how BattleCorps came into being; an "About the authors" section at the end; and a collection of [[BattleMech]] illustrations in the back.
+
'''''The Corps''''' is a [[BattleCorps]] anthology edited by [[Loren Coleman]]. It contains eighteen short stories set throughout the [[Classic BattleTech]] timeline.
 
 
The cover depicts a climactic scene from one of the stories (''[[Isolation's Weight]]'').
 
 
 
[[Image:BC1Cover.jpg|thumb|left|EPUB cover, titled "Warriors"]]The anthology was also published in [[w:EPUB|EPUB/Kindle]] format on 3 June 2010. In this format, the cover title reads "Warriors" instead of "The Corps", presumably an alternative title going with the tagline from the back cover ("Warriors all"), although the product information still calls it "The Corps".
