    Wow, I casually enjoyed the video games and just thought that the name of that mech was Madcat, had no idea about the whole story. Battletech/Mechwarrior lore is intense.

      A universe where the real “owner” of humanity is Comcast Comstar, yet nobody fights them head on, because they control all interstellar communication, which is why the game’s money is called Comstar Credits, or c-cred. Each 1 credit = 1 millisecond of priority when using their net.
