The ripples from the wedding between Ves and Gloriana faded. As much as this glamorous event captured the imagination of the public, people's memories were short.
To many ordinary citizens, the affairs of the rich and powerful were too far away. Life went on and neither the Miracle Couple nor the LMC exerted any direct influence on their ordinary civilian lives.
That did not apply to everyone. The products of the LMC became increasingly more popular throughout the region.
The Komodo Star Sector was its home market. Yet the availability of LMC mechs was not uniform.
One half of the star sector was devoid of these distinct machines. The Friday Coalition completely banned the use of LMC mechs.
This was not an unusual rule in itself. The Coalition already banned the use of mechs designed by Hexers or anyone aligned to them. However, a lot of avid customers were forced to relinquish their precious mechs.
