The population of the Suns - and, by extension, the FedCom - is quite diverse and includes citizens of all races and ethnicities.
More to the point, the Suns does indeed have citizens of Asian descent - the most famous of which being the Allard-Liao family.

(And for the record, the third one is Toshiko Sato, from Torchwood and portrayed by Naoko Mori. )

Which are both Japanese names. yeah, you guys decide to go stereotypical, you no get asians.

In 2850, Michael Davion gave a major boost to Buddhism. When worlds with large Asian populations were liberated from the Draconis Combine and the Capellan Confederation, Davion sent Buddhist priests and monks, at his own expense, to reestablish the religion on those planets. The people of these worlds, who had suffered religious persecution under their former rulers, were so deeply moved that they became among the most loyal and devoted Davion subjects.

(source)

While the Davion family itself may be of Anglo-French heritage, the citizenry-at-large comes from a diverse mixture of backgrounds - including those of Asian heritage (some of whom, as noted above, are "among the most loyal and devoted Davion subjects".)

Likewise, haven't at least a few Capellans been quick to point to Pavel Ridzik (among others) and worlds like Poznan (before they joined the Suns) as examples of how not everyone in the Confederation is necessarily of the same Chinese heritage as the Liaos?

Stop the presses. 1 Davie did something good to long ago to remember. That's like holding the Combine accountable for 1 little slaughter of a planet years ago. Continue to be jealous of how great the DC is compared to you fedrats.

I included a picture of your typical Female Fedrat for you also. Enjoy.

Ah, I thought this exchange of images was meant to be based on ethnical cliches.

Well in that case, I guess everybody can just go ahead and "claim" anyone from the interwebs, for each and every one of the Inner Sphere nations has a citizenry that "comes from a diverse mixture of backgrounds" ...

I am not sure this would be as fun as the original teasing, though, before the thread was bombed with a general "I think this is sexy" list that does not have much to do with the identity of any of Battletech's factions.

In the case of my post, I was working more from knowledge of the particular characters (not so much the actresses themselves, but the particular characters they portray).

For example, I highly doubt that any of Samantha Carter, Kaylee Frye, Toshiko Sato, or Holly Marten would (without some form of coercion) prefer to live under Draconian society as opposed to Federation society.
Especially since each of them is relatively well-educated, highly technically-minded, and (most critically, in the case of a Suns vs Combine issue) fiercely independent - a combination of characteristics that would render each of them a hair's-breadth from an "unfortunate accident" in the Combine, while the same combination is far more likely to be promoted, encouraged, and rewarded in the Suns.

That Tosh (and, in reality, Ms. Mori) happens to be ethnically Japanese is largely incidental; the character, as presented in Torchwood, would probably be looking to leave the Combine as quickly as possible if presented knowledge of the faction by way of the sourcebooks (and doubly-so if offered a position at the NAIS; she did manage to essentially replicate The Doctor's sonic screwdriver with Radio Shack level parts, after all ).
The same could be said of the other three, as well - especially for Carter and Kaylee, as the Combine would be far too similar to the Goa'uld and/or Followers of Origin for the former's comfort and is so much more oppressive than the 'verse's Alliance that the latter would likewise flee by any means available.

As another example, I suspect that Farscape's Aeryn Sun (prior to meeting John Crichton) would be a much better fit for Combine society (as the character's native society, the Peacekeepers, are already a highly-rigid military dictatorship) than Stargate's Vala Mal Doran (a free-spirited thief and con artist who eventually develops a heart-of-gold; she'd most likely go over to the Lyrans, as that's where the money is), even though both are portrayed by the same actress (namely, Claudia Black).

Your wall of text is boring. Just like the Fed Suns. Please go away now as you detract from the visual accuity of this post.

Back on topic.

This is House Kurita. Note the lack of wall of text.



This is Fed Suns. Note previous posters wall of text.



You decide which is better. Also of note is how the weight is the same as amount of text used.

Hai, then I believe you missed the point. People were discussing (comparing) appearances (posting sexy pictures) rather than talking about personalities. In fact, the fact that you posted images yourself betrays your purpose! Not to mention that all these characters live in a completely different setting, and if their actresses (whose visual appearances you posted) would portray roles in BattleTech they would obviously be different and unpredictable. In fact, many actresses are known for more than a single role, and it would be somewhat boring if their pictures would show up being "claimed" by multiple factions just because they played multiple characters throughout their television careers, wouldn't it?
