As many of you may or may not know, House Steiners roots are German, in fact Steiner is a German name and the house according to BattleTech lore has descended from the Steiners of West Germany. As many of you may also know, Saxony is a region of Germany, as such, I believe the following words are appropriate in regards to our views of aggressor nations, most notably Kurita.

THE WRATH OF THE AWAKENED SAXON

By: Rudyard Kipling

It was not part of their blood,
It came to them very late,
With long arrears to make good,
When the Saxon began to hate.

They were not easily moved,
They were icy -- willing to wait
Till every count should be proved,
Ere the Saxon began to hate.

Their voices were even and low.
Their eyes were level and straight.
There was neither sign nor show
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not preached to the crowd.
It was not taught by the state.
No man spoke it aloud
When the Saxon began to hate.

It was not suddently bred.
It will not swiftly abate.
Through the chilled years ahead,
When Time shall count from the date
That the Saxon began to hate.

was it Kurita, or Davion that started the 4th succession war as a wedding gift? According to Sarna, the first Offensive of the 1st Succession war was launched by Jennifer Steiner. contrast that with the Capellans, we have never started a war. We were always the ones being attacked.

Davion

[dal10]

it was a rhetorical question...

[guardian wolf]

Well its hard telling with you cappellans, I mean, you could be joking, or you really could be trying to kill us.

[dal10]

or the targets of our war efforts could be printed onto the bowls we served you food on.

lol, mad much gattling? you forget, Marik is on our side so us vs the davies. we will kick them all the way to new avalon with their tails between their legs. prepare to watch your masters get their heads handed to them.

Well, if memory serves correctly it was a cowardly attack by Liao in a raid on a militia training unit that started the chain of events that led to the 4th succession war.
The only teeth Liao has left are a bunch of mad mercenaries no other house would even consider employing.
And you only have the creds to pay them because 90% of your population lives in virtual slavery. Another 9% live in actual slavery.
Get rid of the mad family that rules you and we will gladly welcome you back into the civilized universe. Until ten, go suckle Kali's teet.
And Marik is only on your side as long as you spend credits bying their weaponry. They have other fish to fry than help you when pummeled by the fedcom.
btw the Comstar council members that ruled for the embargo on the fedcom in the war should have been strapped to a HPG antenna, if you ask me. It was our best hope of ridding the Inner Sphere of the cancer that is house Liao.

actually, that raid was a merc group that is usually under liao employ that was paid by davion for that mission. Also, have you heard of a little unit called the Death commandos? they are more than enough teeth for the likes to you? Capellans earn their citizenship through service and value it, unlike the rest of the inner sphere. Our people are proud and strong. which is not something you can claim.

Davion is one big oversized Mercenary unit, we pay and arm them. They're the bloated proxy that we'll have sit on you. You know House Liaos odds aren't good when you have the Goons signing up with them.

Anyway, have fun with the repeated, unmitigated rape Davion is about to inflict on your collective *****.

I will gladly take either of you two gentlemen's credits. Give me the money and point at the one you want Cored Out!

What tangible combat advantage would founders status give me anyway? That statement makes no sense.

[dal10]

i know a lot of founders with a superiority complex, such as you gatt.
