The story picks up a BattleTech mystery that was introduced to the universe 22 years earlier as a background item in Stackpole's 1988 novel Warrior: Riposte. Here, it was mentioned that Katrina Steiner once went into the Periphery as the "Red Corsair" with Morgan Kell and her later husband Arthur Luvon. The details of their adventure were never elaborated upon in any subsequent publication (besides the fact that they brought back the "Black Box" HPG fax machines).
In a blog entry on his homepage dated 19 October 2010, Michael Stackpole explains that he meant to tell this story back when ROC took over the BattleTech line of novels; Natural Selection (1992) should have been this story but ROC wanted no flashback stories so he made something up on the fly and only retained some "Red Corsair" elements in the otherwise unrelated story. This also led to the creation of another, distinct Red Corsair operating 51 years later in the BattleTech timeline.
