We have fanatically loyal warriors, trained to the peak of skill and discipline.

We have unique and iconic Mechs that are the terror of the Inner Sphere.

And then we try to kill you in your sleep.

We are Liao. That's just the way we loll...

From the legendary LiaoFan's Little Lexicon:

Quote

Liao: (1)Described from as the Weakest of the Great Houses. House Liao depends on a flexable defense system that proved dureing the 4th sucession war to be hopelessly inadaquite against a over whelming military assault. House Liao has long had to rely on trickery and trechery to get it's way. Despite the international nature of all sucessor states, despite the long held statement that nastionalism simply doesn't exist and despite the fact that House Liao is far from a bastion of freedom. House Liao has beniffited greatetly from a nationalist movement in their former terriroties rebellion against the evil opression of House Davion and wishing to return to the Evil Opression of House Liao. House Liao's underdog status makes it popular with many fans, whose favorite activity seems to be whining when the underdog predictably loses in a military confrontation. The National Meal is Babies. -Brian Davion(2)The ruling House of the Capellan Confederation, which is to say that they were able to breed out any competing noble Houses to gain ascendancy. They are noted for their lunacy, even though other Houses have had far more lunatics. Indeed, it may be the Capellan people who are all crazy; they put up with the Liaos.

Quote

Capellan: (1)A person suffering under the delusional belief they're important. See: Andurien March, Canon Fodder, Dupe. -BlackAce (2) An individual said to want little more than the betterment of Humanity as a whole. From this, certain value statements can be gleaned; the many are preferable to the few, for example. Since the majority of people outside the Confederation believe that the Confederation should be incorporated completely into some other House, its continued existance has proved to be something of a stumbling block to enlightenment that has killed many Capellan philosophers.

Direct quotes. The Lexicon was a forum thread on the last iteration (i.e., pre-crash) of the Classic BattleTech forums. Probably still running in some shape or form, but currently hosted at http://battletech.ca...y.com/lll.shtml (warning, BRIGHT website!).

Another thing that makes the Capellan Confederation pretty special is our wartime press corps. Here is a slightly exaggerated retelling of a daring raid on the Lyran Commonwealth.

Obviously this person does not care a whit about the millions killed directly by the Wars of Davion aggression and the billions who have died in the aftermath of poverty and lack of medical facilities. Also all the Confederation Loyalists who are arrested every single day because they dare speak against the Davion government just to rot in Davion dungeons and de facto torture chambers after kangaroo court show-trials.

The above also accuses Liao of treachery, what about how the Davions used defective TSM technology, or even used members of the Liao family as spies, even having the father send an unwitting accomplice on an assassination mission to murder his own son just to deceive the Chancellor?

There is a reason Comstar placed the FedSuns under Interdiction, and to this day Hanse Davion is known as "The Greatest Enemy of Peace"! If you don't believe me you can even ask the neutral Comstar representatives about Davion aggression, or you can ask the Free World's League or Kuritans. Either the FedComs are the target of the grandest conspiracy in history involving all the citizens of the Free Worlds League, and Draconis Combine AND Capellan Confederation AND(!!!) Comstar, or, as is obvious, they are treacherous warmongers relying on sneaky tactics and open displays of violence!

Best thing to do when roasting a duck is save the fat, then fry your noodles in that duck fat.
