I figured Canopus had the Alphabet group covered.
Among all other forms of sexual deviancy, yes. Its kind of their bread and butter.
Alright, hold up. As resident Canopus fan, the 'sex-deviancy' is a tourist-trap phenomenon and, usually I think, not the main draw.
The MAIN draw is feminist power-fantasy complete with the subjugation and restriction-of-civil-rights on men!
...
Okay wait, that was a joke! The main draw is more 'Not psychotic assholes'. They, especially for some folks*, occupy the same space as the Taurians...except without the Taurians kneejerk animosities and memetic nuke-happiness. They've got asshole history, but that sits comfortably alongside those Star League assholes forcibly correcting that asshole-history so, y'know...there's some interesting color/depth there! Unlike the other successor states they don't get dragged into mustache-twirling villainy to suit the needs of the storyline (likely mostly becuase they never feature much in storylines but...y'know...that's their FEATURE! You can just make shit up in this vague, wibbly-wobbly ball of space that has 'madwoman power-fantasy' as it's deep background but is otherwise relatively well-adjusted as a country with, like, civil institutions that aren't fug-buck nuts and a degree of nobles-who-actually-DO-something at the edges.
*Notably here folks like yours truly who've not read any of the fiction past the FedCom Civil War and have only briefly glanced at sourcebooks occaisonally looking for flavorful notes of stuff...So this is all probably coming from a thoroughly unfamiliar and divorced-from-how-Canopus is actually portrayed in anything that portrays it since Canopus doesn't really get much focus in any of the 3025-3060 fiction...So grain of salt/I'm just bullshitting in the name of defending Glorious Canopus from vicious slander by men
As to the kickstarter discussion...
I threw in a few bucks to get one of the slick, signed books, but the fiction and occasional video-game is about the only way I've ever interacted with or wanted to interact with battletech, so...meh to the rest. Probly won't even listen to my inner completionist to get the other hardcovers of the series until/unless I can get them used at a discount since I've still got the old paperbacks and what they're charging on the books ($15 hardcovers, $25 signed nicer) seems a little steep to me even if realistically not being too bad objectively.
