#federated commonwealth

...a yard long or more of the embarrassingly bad 'mechs, but rarer by far is the embarrassingly good 'mech. Among that far more exclusive club's roster is the Doppelsoldner.

It started- as many a great thing has -with a con. A few dropouts and apprentices and half-baked mechtech wannabes bet one another they could put together a 'mech that could look good enough to sell, and be out of the Federated Commonwealth by the time the folks forking over the funds took a second glance. Thus was the Doppelsoldner first conceived, sketched out in a car backseat en route home from a booze-sodden concert.

But, after banging out a hand-built rough draft with parts begged, borrowed or quietly appropriated, the slackers had to at least get the thing out for a demonstration of its 'innovative power'. So one of that team of backsliders and oddballs pulled some strings, got a friend of a cousin of a hookup of a roommate who was between merc jobs to drop by and test it out. They explained the ruse to her, and promised her a cut of the loot to keep quiet about the plan.

Said contact returned from the run and chewed them all out in the most glowing terms for making what she said was a genius 'mech. Roomy cockpit, fluid targeting, light and maneuverable, good on rough terrain. It had all been made so the 'target practice' segment of the demonstration for the buyers would look good, but frustratingly, they'd accidentally built quite an admirable 'mech. It went through to the buyers, the tests ran smoothly, and the design was put into production. The biggest challenge, as it turned out, was finding suitable formal-wear for the team (most of whom were the 'clean hoodie at best' types) to meet the Social General who insisted on hosting the team behind this engineering coup for a luncheon.

our two young noble dipshits

and a fairly lengthy breakdown below the cut

A free-floating combined arms unit of the Federated Commonwealth Armed Forces, founded in 3051. As an independent unit, they possess no set AO, but are sent where they are needed as a quick reaction force. As such, they possess organic Dropship and Jumpship transport - provided by two Overlord and two Star Lord classes, respectively.
