====Background====
MEKA began its life as an armored drone unit, formed by the South Korean government in order to combat an [[Omnic Colossus]] that had ravaged the country after emerging from the [[East China Sea]]. Every few years the omnic would return, assaulting South Korea and its neighbors. The omnic learned from these encounters, often reconfiguring itself in a different form and appearing with new weapons and capabilities. Each incident ended in a stalemate, with the monstrosity defeated but not destroyed.<ref name = "DVA"/> After the omnic's first attack, MEKA transferred some of its [[hovercycle]]s to the [[Busan Police Agency|KNPA]].<ref>''[[Heroes of the Storm]]''</ref>

In a concession to the predilections of their new draftees, the government suspended certain military protocols and allowed them to customize their uniforms and mechs, as well as broadcast combat operations live.<ref name = "DVA">[http://us.battle.net/overwatch/en/heroes/dva/ D.Va], ''Blizzard Entertainment''.
