Put the new capital in the Outback. Call it the CornfedConfed. :)

So what you're saying is that any female heirs would be twice as...foxxy?  Sign me up.

The only way the Fidelis will be visiting the clan protectorate is to put a line through one of the big ones in their book of grudges.

I bet the Jaguar database of grudges grew and grew until it busted hyperspace.

(What? No worse theory than "Wobbies did it"
Btw if it was really the Fidelis causing the Blackout I´m calling dibs on "I told you so.")

no.. just cyber implants. either special EI implants or possibly VDNI.. needless to say that after the Manei Domini, neither are going to be very popular in the IS.

Two words: Manei Domini. Plus, limited utility for great expense. ProtoMechs were an invention born of necessity; Clan Smoke Jaguar was running out of easily-tapped resources. One thing the Inner Sphere does not lack for are natural resources. Even among the Clans, only the Hell's Horses and Raven Alliance still use the things in numbers great enough to allow for a RAT, and both are eccentric (to the say the least) compared to the other Clans.

One of the features of said story is how they can't match the Clan tech base to produce them, that problem appears to be a thing of the past at this point

Yes, that was one of the issues. All of the others are still unresolved.

More to the point, it requires pilots who have been cybernetically altered with dangerous technology that will inevitably destroy their psyche and devour their sanity - that is, if it doesn't feed back and leave them brain-dead along the way.

And because prior Inner Sphere experiences with such tech worked out so well too

Like that story in the Tech Manual says, the children really are our future (of warfare).

It got real Shadowrun-y with that story. Loved it.

You forgot to mention Dalia Bekker and Malvina Hazen.   :D :P
Bekker would be way too conservative for him. Though it would be funny!
"My wife I give you the...did you just take the Draconis Combine before I finished my speech?"
*nervous look* "No?"
*Sigh* "Well at least hand over my Drac March!"

Malvina would demand blood sacrifices and be so wacky Julian would exhume Kali Liao because it is safer!  ;D
