AVAILABLE NOW - The old law enforcement motto of “to serve and protect” is a long-dead joke in the Sixth World. The idea of due process is more of a suggestion, and rights are only afforded to those with nuyen, power, or both. Those who challenge the status quo, on the other hand, are crushed. This has tarnished the gleaming star that once symbolized justice and service. And yet, there are still some who try and clean that star off, even if only a little.

These situations are where the relationship between the law and the shadows becomes complicated. Normally, shadowrunners know that when they see the lights or hear the sirens, it’s time to go. But every so often, the shadows and the law find common ground and work toward a shared goal, or at least mutual benefit. That’s when things get interesting.

Tarnished Star is the core law enforcement rulebook for Shadowrun, Sixth World.

AVAILABLE NOW - Dax, Tej, and Sam are one of the best small retrieval teams in the shadows. When they get an offer of a job retrieving a prisoner from an abandoned military base, the money offered by the megacorp is too good to pass up, despite the potential risks of infiltrating a former military base.

Soon, they’re off to the island of Borinquen, in the Caribbean Ocean. But when their intel proves faulty, they realize that the base wasn’t a former prison, but a research facility. And when they reach the site itself, they find that the base isn’t as abandoned as they were led to believe…and what’s living inside might change the Sixth World forever…

Now it’s a race against time and the denizens of the base to get out in one piece… before the base claims these shadowrunners for itself.

AVAILABLE NOW - Under the leadership of Khan Alaric Ward, Clan Wolf has achieved the dream of Aleksandr Kerensky, the Great Father of the Clans. After defeating both the Republic of the Sphere and Clan Jade Falcon in a devastating campaign, the Wolf banner flies proudly over Terra. The ilClan, Clan of all Clans, has been declared, and at its head is the first true Khan of all Khans: the ilKhan.

But as Alaric is soon to discover, it is one thing to conquer, it is quite another thing to rule. Beset by problems both within and without, the Wolves, still weakened from the brutal fighting to conquer Terra, find themselves on the defensive from a rising insurgency, a Capellan Confederacy poised to invade, and rivalries between his own people as they all enter uncharted territory of founding a new Star League to rule the Inner Sphere.

Will the ilKhan hold his fractious allies together as he forges a new Star League, or with those same elements launch the entire universe into its bloodiest war yet?

Finally see the aftermath of the taking of Terra in this brand-new novel from esteemed BattleTech writer Michael Ciaravella!

POWER SURGE - The power to shape the world can also tear it apart. The power to summon spirits and gain allies can also conjure enemies and lead to your own destruction. And the power to fill objects with magic is also the ability to make them blow up in your face.

Shadowrunners learn about power the hard way—by being on the wrong end of it. That means they often gather it to them however they can, consequences be damned. Street Wyrd is a guide to all sorts of Awakened power, from spells to adept powers to new spirits to enhanced enchanting rules. It also gives runners the power to make their own spells to unleash on their enemies. Because runners know that the power you grab for yourself is the only thing that stays with you.

Street Wyrd is the core magic rulebook for Shadowrun, Sixth World, and is available at https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/shadowrun-street-wyrd-core-magic-rulebook

THE RICH ARE DIFFERENT - And no one knows that better than Quarrell Hamilton, commander of the “mercenary unit” the Death Kangaroos. But when the opportunity arises to make some coin by participating in a “reenactment” of one of the more infamous events in Inner Sphere history, who is Quarrell to turn down a quick buck? He just has to create a ’Mech unit from scratch to participate in the “combat” first.

A NEW ERA DAWNS! - Clan Sea Fox aims to be the leading broker of interstellar communications across the Inner Sphere, but the Blackout, the continuing malfunction of the hyperpulse generator network, has stood in their way for far too long.

To fix the broken HPG network, the Sea Foxes enlist the skills of an elite Watch operative, code name Kitefin. Her first priority is to capture the one man with the knowledge to end the Blackout and restore communication between the stars: Tucker Harwell, a genius technician who vanished amid the chaos of Terra’s conquest.

Before Kitefin can take Tucker to VoidBreaker Station to begin the work of repairing the vast HPG comms network, she’ll have to find him. Unfortunately, she’s not the only one looking for him…
