Whatever Lady Romanda Devos did at the secret Terran research institution, she clearly came away with a few odd ideas in mind.
After she got released from her contract, she immediately set up a small design studio and mech boutique that was meant to showcase the benefits of her design philosophy.
This was not a completely unfamiliar career choice for first-class mech designers who aspired to become entrepreneurs.
It was too difficult for them to gain any traction in the highly competitive first-class mech market. Terran Journeymen had it especially hard as the mech market was completely dominated by established market leaders that were always led by Master Mech Designers.
Journeymen with enough confidence and ideas would start small companies and publish mech designs that would never see any practical use in reality, but would showcase their specializations and as well as potential.
