Being an avid Battletech fan as well as EVE. I have noticed many parallels between these two forces.
Mercenary Coalition.
I have been a massive fan of your work ever since i heard about EVE in 2005 and have seen many movies and read many forum threads of your deeds and personalities and i feel you do seem to have many of the same traits as the legendary Inner spere mechwarrior mercenaries.
Wolf's Dragoons.
(taken from game)
"The name is synonymous with skill, courage, professionalism, and innovation. For more than a generation, the mysterious and highly disciplined unit of Wolf's Dragoons have set the standard for Inner Sphere mercenaries. Using their advanced BattleMechs and superior training to defeat the best MechWarriors the Inner Sphere had to offer Wolf's Dragoons has proven to be the best of the best. Under the leadership of founder Jaime Wolf, the Dragoons have done more to professionalize the mercenary industry than any other unit in existence, through their disciplined example on the battlefield, their Hiring Hall in the city of Harlech, and their extensive training facilities on Outreach."
Wolf's dragoons fought against every single major power in the galaxy, testing their strengths and weaknesses (originally as a recon mission for a clan invasion, but let's not talk about that) and decimated all they encoutered. They set up Merc-net a system that monitored who-was-fighting-who and flagged dis-reputable factions that either used mercs as bullet shields or merely didnt pay up. They got given there homeworld as a gift for good srvice. (i know you guys had to build your own hehe).
Forgive me if this thread seems pointless to most of you, but in my mind so many things seem to match.

What mercenary coalition does this parallel?
I really don't know what can be classed as totally similar. but i have always seen the two groups in the same light. Big Merc units that pave the way and set standards that others now use as a benchmark.

It's a nice thought for RP, but not really good discussion for CAOD.. the differences between romantic stories and ingame realities are too great..
I also thought this as well. I considered posting it elsewhere, but out of pod didnt seem right.
