History
Jaegers were large mecha that were created by humanity following the invasion of the planet by Kaiju. Following an attack on San Francisco, numerous such assaults occurred globally leading to untold amounts of damage and loss of life. In response, the nations of the world decided to put aside their rivalries and looked to find a means of combating this threat. A number of solutions were attempted before mankind decided that the only way to match these titanic monsters was to create a monster of their own. Thus, the Jaeger Program was created with the task of creating gigantic mecha in order to use technology to match the gargantuan monsters.
Shao Industries later began work on its Drone Program that sought to use automation to allow for Drone Jaeger to be operated remotely by a single pilot. The project was being showcased to the United Nations which threatened to shutdown the Pan Pacific Defense Corps as a result if successful. Newton Geiszler had joined the company where he served as lead scientist in the project. Unknown to anyone, Geiszler's prior drifting with the Kaiju brain had affected his mind causing the Precursors to take control of his brain. Thus, they influenced his actions in bringing about their return so that they could conquer Earth and had him use the Drone Jaeger Program as a means of accomplishing this goal. As such, he began to use cloned Kaiju brain-matter that was installed within the Jaeger Drones being produced by Shao Industries.

Overview
In appearance, the Jaegers were mecha that came in a variety of forms but were largely humanoid in form.
A unique neural interface was used to help pilots in the operation of the gigantic machines. However, the load on the interface was too much for a single pilot to operate. Thus, a two-pilot system was implemented whereby one controlled the left hemisphere and the other pilot controlled the right hemisphere. When the pilots were within the Jaeger, a pilot-to-pilot connect was established through a 'neural handshake' that was initiated where the pair were placed within a shared mindspace known as The Drift. This Jaeger technology was based on the neural systems developed for DARPA jet fighters. Once initiated, the two pilots mind-melded through memories as they merged with the body of the giant machine. The deeper the bond between the pilots then the better they fought as their synchronisation allowed them to operate the Jaeger more efficiently.
Ultimately, a Jaeger was only ever as good as their pilots. Thus, those that were successful came to be famous celebrities among humanity.
A variant of these mecha were the Drone Jaeger that all shared a similar appearance and were mass produced. These Jaegers were designed to be remotely controlled with multiple able to be operated by a single pilot. Smaller versions of Jaegers could be created who due to their size did not require two pilots and could operate with a single controller.
