The Resistance abandons its base on the moon and sets up camp for the first time in Kentares' arctic regions. Ian fights alongside with fellow Resistance MechWarriors Casey Nolan, Jen McQuarrie, and Jules Gonzales, and their commander Elise Rathburn in various missions. Upon hearing of the coup, Eric's son, Ian Dresari, returns home and meets up with his uncle, Sir Peter Dresari, on the moon orbiting Kentares to launch a guerrilla campaign to take back Kentares IV from the Steiner loyalists. The betrayal leaves Eric Dresari and the majority of the royal family dead. William seizes the throne for himself under the banner of Katherine "Katrina" Steiner-Davion's Lyran Alliance and became responsible for the annihilation of loyalists to Victor Steiner-Davion. The FedCom Civil War engulfs Kentares IV after William Dresari, a nephew of famed Clan War hero Duke Eric Dresari, betrays the family, launching a surprise attack by Steiner forces on the Dresari royal palace. FedCom Civil War indicates that Ian Dresari becomes Duke, rendering the alternate ending where Joanna becomes Duchess noncanon.The FedCom Civil War sourcebook describes it as a three-day battle. The attack on Duke Eric Dresari's compound is portrayed as a surprise attack that is over within minutes.On this premise, MechWarrior 4: Vengeance is considered to be an apocryphal product. The Legion subsequently made the planet their base of operations.Computer games are explicitly excluded from the list of products that contribute straight canon to the BattleTech universe while at the same time it was stated that the IP owners are "not in total denial about these sources either" it has also been stated that fluff from certain official, licensed products (namely certain computer games including those produced by FASA) can be assumed to be part of the shared universe as long as it is not directly contradicted, and makes sense. The Legion took revenge on their former Lyran employer, Major Dupree, by hunting her down and wiping out the entire Lyran garrison on Voltrat III. McClair and his lancemates nearly killed Duke Ian Dresari and eliminated three of his closest supporters. Command of the unit was passed on to Eric McClair. The Legion was then approached by a Lyran Alliance mercenary liaison officer, Major Carissa Dupree, and offered a contract to support the Kentares Free Army in taking back Kentares IV on behalf of Archon Katherine Steiner-Davion.Ĭolonel Michael Lawhorn was double-crossed by his Lyran employer and killed in May of 3063. Working for the Corvatti Corporation, the Legion wiped out the pirates threatening Corvatti mining assets. The Legionnaires sold their lives dearly while successfully evacuating the planet's royal family. The Legion outmaneuvered, outfought, and outlasted "rebel upstarts," securing the world for its nominal government. Its canonical existence within the BattleTech universe is unconfirmed. Since the Black Knight Legion was only mentioned in an apocryphal source, it is itself apocryphal. Computer games as such do not fall under the current definition of Canon for the BattleTech universe even though they are official, licensed BattleTech products, making them apocryphal. The Black Knight Legion was introduced as the protagonist unit in the computer game MechWarrior 4: Black Knight.
