Line 16: ===MechWarriors=== ===MechWarriors=== − Due to the dangers of overheating when operating a [[BattleMech]], [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] uniforms are designed to keep them as cool as possible. During the [[Succession Wars (History)|Succession Wars]] this often meant a [[Cooling Vest]] and little else, but in [[3015]] scientists from the [[New Avalon Institute of Science]] and [[Team Banzai]] created the Cooling Undershirt. Essentially a miniature version of the cooling vest, the undershirt operated on the same principle of circulating water or similar fluids around the wearer's torso. While not as efficient as a regular cooling vest, when combined together they allow the MechWarrior to survive more extreme temperatures than normal.<ref name=HDTFS131>''House Davion (The Federated Suns)'', p. 131</ref> Thanks to continued technological progression, by [[3062]] many MechWarriors were being issued the more efficient [[Cooling Suit]]s which provided both superior cooling and environmental protection.<ref>''Field Manual: Federated Suns'', p. 26</ref> − Just as House Davion traces its roots to medieval England and France, so too do its MechWarriors who, in kinship with the knights of the period, wear spurs on their boots.<ref name=HDTFS131/> <gallery> <gallery> File:Davionuniform3025mechwarrior.png|MechWarrior <br/>(c.3025) File:Davionuniform3025mechwarrior.png|MechWarrior <br/>(c.3025) Line 54:
