Actually, the Davion (originally d'Avion) family is supposed to be (originally) ethnically French, with roots traceable to Gascony and the County of Foix (and, presumably, the Counts of Foix).
One of the Davions' (very likely fictional) ancestors, one Jean-Baptiste d'Avion, is supposed to have served as a bodyguard to Mary Stuart, Queen of Scots, and been granted holdings in Scotland as a result - a point supposed to be used by some of his descendants to claim to be of Scottish rather than French heritage.
(All of the above comes from House Davion (The Federated Suns), under "Rise of

By contrast, the society and government of the Federated Suns is obviously modeled on that of the United Kingdom, with echoes of the British Empire.

So, yeah - FedSuns = "British Empire (IN OUTER SPACE!), ruled by Frenchmen"

I agree with this

You know, Word of Blakes Adept psy are some kind of Spanish Inquisition ?
No other faction is so coooool !

[LiGhtningFF13]

I bring the fight to all of them who fight under the dragon banner. And I will continue to do so. Beware Kuritians!
I also support the Clans who fight on their soil.

[Chimerahawk]

Clan wolf. They always be startin' ****. Just glass the planet and move on.

[VirtualSmitty]

I hate all the clans equally.

[dezgra]

I hate canister born "dogs", and the freebirth who populate this forum.

[Grauluchs]

Clans

those communistspacenazis all deserve to be nuked in to oblivion

[Kinski Orlawisch]

Liao. They don t fight. They mainly use dirty tactics. OK Liao is the bad realm in the books. That is from the design already.

House Liao because of their brutal and flat out insane treatment of their citizens, plus they kinda are a crappy faction, the only thing they made thats was even half good was the Raven, Comstar because not only are nations led by religion unacceptable in my book, and finally House Steiner because theyre nothing but a bunch of stuck up rich fools with no honor and besides Liao has the worst Inner Sphere millitaries.

[Tezcatli]

I posted earlier in the thread. But I wanted to add after reading some more books. I hate Comstar. I can understand how religion gets all ridiculous and people do ridiculous things in it's name. But this wasn't a religion. It's kinda like how in 40K the Emperor wanted enlightenment but people are apparently so stupid or corrupt they convoluted it into a crazy religion. : /

and at this point i like clan ghost bear but that might jest be the fact i dont know them yet as i havent had the time to read up on them and they have a cool sounding name

and yes i am new to battle tech at 20 years of age

Capellan Confederation - Bunch of commies.

Draconis Combine - An autocracy, and far too much "honor."

Free Worlds League - A war leader with dictatorial powers "for the duration of the crisis." Yeah, I'll really trust that guy.

Lyran Commonwealth - Something about the high brass in this faction doesn't sit right with me.

Free Rasalhague Republic - I prefer this faction but let's face it. We get mauled. They even did a time reset for us.

Federated Suns - Once again, something about the high brass doesn't sit right with me during the recent time period. But this is my second choice.

Any Clan - Genetics, enslaving people to "protect" them, killing innocents, nuking each other, honor, fighting to solve disputes. Sounds like such fun.

Clan Smoke Jaguar - Y'all get annihilated. No chance for >80% of you.

Clan Wolf - Besides being a Clan, these guys seem to carry an aggression towards almost any other people.

Clan Jade Falcon - Same as Clan Wolf, but these guys seem to think way higher of themselves.

Clan Ghost Bear- I have less of a problem with this Clan, besides being a Clan.

ComStar - Turning technology into a religion and being the sole controller of all communications. Not a system prone to corruption or anything.

Word of Blake - Turning ComStar's religion into a terrorism excuse. Whee.

lyran commonwealth, because the vast majority of Steiner players cant fight worth a damn, if i see more then a lance on my team i know i have to carry harder then ever before or lose.(seriously i can count the times I've won a game with 5+ steiners on my side on one hand, those guys are my personal curse.)

Cept for that one time I was narcing and a group of steiners took 6 lrm boats.. they were aweosme for that one game.

Comstar, for everything it is and stands for, and for everything it does..
I mean the only faction I'd really hate for there actions, hoarding all that tech and knowledge, hiding away even the non-military stuff.... I mean championing ignorance and decay for everyone in the innerphere except themselves, truly despicable, and even with hoarding all that knowlege, they turn into religious nutters who treat the hpg system as magic.

[Dakkaface]

Pretty much the only faction I actively dislike are the Wobbies/ROM. Smoke Jags aren't really my favorites either, but then they were a villain Clan whose sole purpose was to be so mustache-twirlingly bad that they made an obvious target for the Second Star League to go after.

[Archon]

Clan Smoke Jaguar because they're genocidal maniacs.
House Liao because they're treacherous animals.
Word of Blake (See Smoke Jaguar and multiply x10000000000000)
Clan Jade Falcon because they're just fun to hate.

[LoPanShui]

Jade Falcons be all: Our **** don't stink!

And Clan Wolf be all: We perfume ours!

[Mad Dog Morgan]

Word of Blake takes the cake for insanity.

Smoke Jaguars for their {Godwin's Law}-like levels of genocidal tendencies, and those damn pink pigeons. I don't know why I don't like those pink pigeons, but they just irk me.

Marik, nuff said.

[Darth Futuza]

Jade Falcon are truly ******** without human feelings.
