Greenburg's Godzillas (Holovid)

Greenburg's Godzillas was a short-lived Tharkad Broadcast Company holovid documentary series, running from 3027 to 3028, covering the day-to-day lives of a mercenary unit.

Overview

In 3027 while doing research on Galatea, TBC combat correspondent and former Twenty-third Marik Militia MechWarrior Mordon Greenburg struck up a friendship with Philippe Rodan, survivor of the ill-fated Brownlee's Barracudas mercenary unit, and ultimately came up with a plan. Greenburg approached his TBC producer with the concept of a documentary series covering the day-to-day life of the first year of a new mercenary force led by Rodan and funded in part by TBC, with the network enthusiastic about the project but stipulating that holovid star Greenburg lead the new command.

Thus was born the Greenburg's Godzillas holovid series, staring the namesake unit the Greenburg's Godzillas and its commander Greenburg, which treated viewers across the Inner Sphere to a up close and personal view of the mercenary life, the back streets and hiring halls of Galatea, tense contract negotiations and best bars and clubs of the Mercenary's Star. While initially highly successful, as the ratings fell cagey TBC executives canned the show on the cusp of the Fourth Succession War. By this point Greenburg hard established a firm relationship with the members of the "cast" and chose to remain at the head of his namesake unit and return to combat.
