Editing Classic BattleTech (section)

==History==
[[FASA Corporation]] published the first ''BattleTech'' game set in 1984 as ''[[BattleDroids]]'', and throughout the '80s and '90s released a wide range of supplemental books and materials for the series. [[FASA]] ceased producing ''BattleTech'' in 2001 and sold the franchise to [[WizKids]]. [[FanPro]] licensed the rights from WizKids and under the new name ''Classic Battletech'' continued to release [[sourcebook]]s and supplements. In June 2007, [[Catalyst Game Labs]] (a subsidiary of [[InMediaRes Productions]], LLC) acquired the license to ''Classic BattleTech'', and has reiterated its commitment to publishing quality products. Catalyst also retained many of the staff members who worked for [[FanPro]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://catalystgamelabs.com/2007/05/17/inmediares-productions-llc-forms-imprint-catalyst-game-labs |title=Catalyst Game Labs » Blog Archive » INMEDIARES PRODUCTIONS, LLC, FORMS IMPRINT: CATALYST GAME LABS<!-- Bot generated title --> |access-date=2007-06-06 |archive-date=2007-09-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070926224407/http://catalystgamelabs.com/2007/05/17/inmediares-productions-llc-forms-imprint-catalyst-game-labs |url-status=dead }}</ref> Catalyst Game Labs also reverted the name back to ''BattleTech'' in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the game's release.<ref>{{cite book | title = BattleTech: Total War | page = 10 | edition = 2nd | publisher = Catalyst Game Labs | year = 2006}}</ref>
