Background
The Year is considered to be 13 After Asteroid Impact {AAI}.
13 years ago a smaller asteroid landed in the middle of the African savanah. Its arrival in the now resource starved planet triggered a massive war. One that is know to many as "The War of the Rock".
Many Alliances were broken, made, and broken again in the course of this conflict. Leaving a horrible political and bloody mess.
It wasn't until an self hired Mercenary Organization called "WILLOW" took control of the site, and began its research, that it was found that the asteroid was of little resource value.
This discovery resulted in major political backlash on the participating countries, as the grieving survivors of the men and women lost during the war learned and believed that their loved ones had died in "political pissing match". This resulted in many Mercenary organizations standing up to say that they could do the job, for a nominal fee of course, and with them there would be less political backlash as they are considered "Expendable"
When these organization took over they began to develop new weapons as force multipliers. These weapons made the armored vehicles of even the most modern army obsolete overnight.
The Weapons
The new weapons were commonly called "Mechs" though this created the image of giant cyborgs and crazy laser weapons. This was far from the truth. They were simply much larger and walking tanks. Some groups still called them Mechs, but most cosidered them to be RCAV's. [Ranged Combat Armored Vehicles]. They are designed to be modular so that a single squad, could be provided, and outfitted with the newest weapons as soon as they became availible, and to be able to re-outfit them to better suit their RCAV's to an upcomming battle, without having to bring a plethora of minor variants.
