As stated in the title, creating a custom book of mercenary unit briefs. I've currently got 5 units for it.
Does anyone want to contribute their unit?
I'll also be looking for votes on the cover image (I've 15 to choose from) at some point (need an operational website for them to be hosted on... working on that atm) with each person saything their 1st and 2nd choices. First choice counts as 2 votes and 2nd choice counts as 1 vote.
Mostly though I'm looking for others to contribute their unit data. Names and mini-bios of important characters, unit TO&E summary/breakdown, history, that sort of thing. I'm making the pages following the layout of FM: Mercs & the Canon Mercs: Supp books. Yes, unit logos are accepted as well 
EDIT: Oh, and I need the YEAR the mercenary unit is "currently" in as of the writing, I'll be adding the year in parenthesis after the unit's name so that the book can span multiple eras.

Ok, here's the links:
<link removed>
<link removed>
Links removed because I've chosen a cover.
And for all my BattleTech works, including recent FM: Wolverine stuff...
bt.dylanspcs.com/
(I just created this today, Nov. 22nd 2011, so it'll be a week or so before its populated with actual content!)
Remember to let me know your first and second favorite covers.
Opinions on everything else are welcome 
Enjoy!
Edit: Removed the direct link to the Mercenaries Supplemental: Fan pdf, as the filename will be changing with each revision. Please use the link for all my BTech works and click on the supplementals file.

Erg? Phantom?
Plus I don't have the knowledge/skill of graphics editing to remove much w/out damaging the photo

That fighter flying away in the upper left corner. That can't be anything else than F4 Phantom II. That plane's shape is rather characteristic.

I didn't even look at the fighter. I thought you meant there was a Phantom clanmech on there

Feel free to use my Roughnecks if you wish. Located HERE: www.solaris7.com/TRO/Unit/UnitInfo.asp?ID=684
All of their customs are on the Solaris site in my Armory Taurian Military Industries. The unit is currently in 3027 and is working for Michael Hasek.
NOTE: Although I do love Starship Troopers, the Roughneck Cavalry derives its name not from the book or the movie, but instead from the term commonly used for modern oil-rig workers. It is definately a blue-collar type of unit--but strangely enough, with a bit more stringent dress and hygiene code than most mercs. LOL

How long will you be accepting player units? We just got done moving and I wont be able to get a computer online for about 3 more weeks (thank god for 3G phones). But I would love to get the Knights of Chaos in there. If I remember correctly I already have a full unit brief written up.

Quite awhile, it'll be a book "constantly under revision" for the foreseeable future.
