''[[http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/by-the-horns-a-battletech-alternate-universe.261450/ By the Horns]]'' by Stephen T "master arminas" Bynum is a ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}'' fanfic.
Back in 2596, the Taurian Concordat was on its last legs, having fought the 20-year Reunification War against the might of the Star League but ultimately failing to prevail. Admiral Helena Vickers, last surviving flag officer of the Taurian Concordat Navy, ordered her vessel on a final counterattack against the enemy.
Fate has other plans for them, however, and a misjump sends them four centuries into the future, to 3025.

But what fate gives, it can take away, and the news that the Taurians have a Warship anew quickly spreads to the rest of the Inner Sphere, drawing much undue attention...
