Lets see...

Spoiler

1: Shiro Kurita.
2: 2317.
3: Galedon.
4: Faith and religion.
5: House Kurita, House Liao and House Marik, and it never officially got canceled, btw, so it is still "in effect" by the time of the toaster Jihad.
6: Draconis Elite Strike Team(s).
7: Wolf's Dragoons.
8: Sho-ko is a rank not worth mentioning, all MechWarriors are of superior rank, and sergeant, I think.
9: You'd have to be more specific, do you want the five major quintadocs or the five minor quintadocs?
10: I'm ashamed that I do not remember. I'll disipline myself by re-reading the Dictum Honorium.

Think I got 8 or 9 out of 10.
-checks-
Okey, I got a few less than I thought.

One who planned the mostly-successful invasion of the FedSuns, mind you.
It wasn't untill his daddy decided not to follow his advice that things starter going wrong.
Also, he was frightingly calm when he ordered that massacre.
