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.
Wolf's Dragoons were successfull in the end and didn't die, if I remember right they also had strong ties with the faction of the Wolf Clan that was against the war against the IS, which split from the faction that wanted to continue the war after the Comstar won peace expired.
No paralell really.
MC can barely get 15 carriers in gang nowaydays, and it might lose completely those 2 titans. :)

Did MC operate as mercs or allies with BoB? Dragoons only ever took contracts against the various Houses and never formed any long alliances, despite the offers.

From my time in MC, it was both. As apart of Eternity after the northern campaign both Sera and ETNY took a contract in Stain. Before my time? I would think they fought for many different entities, however, before Tortuga BoB i think would have been considered a close ally.
I played Mechwarrior and Mechcommder as well. I have read most of the books in the series and have played the table top version of Battletech.

Should start a topic in off topic for all the mech heads. It's scary how many of us came here after everything else fell apart for our universe.
