We are part of the Dark Caste (also known as the Bandit Caste) because of our views. We are not a clan per se, but encompass all freeborn clansmen regardless of affiliation as well as mercenaries from the inner sphere, who embrace a more... capitalistic approach to warfare, and who share in the vision of true unity under one banner, as opposed to squabbling, bickering, factions vying for power and leverage over the other under a façade of "unity". We value profit above all else. Politics is just a red herring. Pay dirt is achieved by evaluating results, understanding the bottom-line, and attaining it. Under this mindset it is more advantageous to assess an individual's worth through their actions versus simply by where one happens to be born into, or which faction they belong to. It is because of this outlook that we have created an atmosphere of equal footing and in the process have become quite prosperous. So wealthy in fact, we adorn our 'Mechs in gold. It is both our trademark and direct indicator of success, for the individual that owns it as well as the unit as whole. Each of these 'Mechs is not outfitted with golden armor plates as popularly (ignorantly) believed. A process called Gilding is used. It covers a number of techniques for applying fine gold leaf to solid surfaces to give the metal a thin coating of gold. Gold leaf itself is 24-karat gold that has been hammered into thin sheets by the process of goldbeating.

Goals
1. Enjoy the game, but not at the expense of others.
2. Meet and group with fellow avid MWO supporters.
3. Create and corroborate fan lore about this unit that is consistent yet does not violate canon.
Disclaimer
We DO NOT veer towards extremes:
We are NOT hardcore gamers. Though if the situation calls for seriousness we will step up.
We are NOT roleplayers. Though we follow lore and a theme (we just don't act out e.g. IC & OOC).
We are NOT theorycrafters. Though we like to tinker and try out different setups.
