Interview with MechWarrior 5: Clans Narrative Director Chris Lowrey:

Hunting the Wolves of Tukayyid with Chris Lowrey | Sarna.net

MechWarrior 5: Clans will enter the greatest battle of BattleTech history in Wolves of Tukayyid. Narrative Director Chris Lowrey tells us what's to come.

Even within that context, this expansion was still a beast to tackle due to what Tukayyid is. More than any other battle in all of BattleTech‘s timeline, the Battle of Tukayyid has literally thousands of pages written on it between novels, sourcebooks, and scenario books spanning over 40 years (the latest scenario book and short stories covering the battle being published as recently as 2020). Between detailed breakdowns of each Clan’s campaign, extensive fleshing out of the terrain on each battlefield, and in the case of the original Wolf Clan and Jade Falcon sourcebooks, a complete phonebook roster of every individual who participated in the battle, along with the ‘Mechs and vehicles they piloted. And this is before even trying to break things down to where we can chart and craft an engaging campaign that doesn’t feel shoehorned into pre-existing stories.
...
Like all MW5: Clans story campaigns, Wolves of Tukayyid aims to be as accurate an adaptation as possible to the source material while telling our own story that fits into the context of a MechWarrior experience. And for this expansion, that means that the characterization of many of the novel characters will stem from how they were depicted specifically in Lost Destiny and We Do the Impossible

I wish the people who are in charge of other IPs (Star Trek, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Halo, etc.) would show this much respect, attention, and care.
