Not any more -- Nightshift no longer has the rights to Renegade Legion. 

Nightshift says they decided to drop it because it wasn't very
profitable.  
Other sources say that FASA yanked the license because Nightshift only
put out 
two products in two (three?) years -- one of which, I will point out,
was a 
"reinforcements pack" which _at most_ consisted of printing some more 
counters.   FASA's Jill Lucas was very gracious when I asked her about
it at 
Origins -- she said that Nightshift didn't have the resources to do it
right, 
and did not specifiy who made the decision to pull the plug.

I also asked her if she thought that someone else might pick up the line
-- 
she said FASA would be willing to entertain the subject, but she didn't
expect 
it would happen.  I hope it does.
