Whether this serendipity actually WAS the original creators' intent or not may never be clear, but in my none-too-humble opinion, I daresay that the author of that BattleCorps dialog hit the nail on the head and answered the age-old "What does ROM stand for?" question without even knowing it.

So, in essence, the agency was named for the Greek designations of it three foundational sub-departments.<ref>Herb Beas' [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/general-discussion/what-does-rom-stand-for/msg1867237/#msg1867237 BattleTech forum post] about the meaning of ROM</ref>}}
