They are also expendable because nobody cares if they die.  The military contracts out the mech company to do missions that the military themselves can’t do because of politics, red tape and need possible deniability.  It also lets both the mech company and the military test the mechs out on the battlefield.  If the results are good, it could mean huge contracts for the tech company.  So there’s lots of pressure for the PCs to perform.</blockquote>
