Since we have the Clan Faction Icons on the site, we should have the factions listed in the game category. Perhaps you could split the factions into Inner Sphere and Clans. To add on, just like the info you gave the the Inner Sphere factions, you could give the Clan factions the same info like: the Current Ruler, Founding Year, Language, etc. Just putting this out there.

You forgot the Periphery.
There are some Kingdomes which are greater then Kapella

I hope we will get the other clans and periphery Symbols/Icons/Banner at the same Time and Piranha don´t forget some Realm.

Yes, perhaps sometime this month.

Since we are one the topic of Clans, I wanted to ask one last question. With the additional Reserve Clans like the Nova Cats, Diamond Sharks and Steel Vipers coming until next year, it is possible to add Clan Goliath Scorpion to the roster as a fourth reserve clan? Granted, they never had worlds of their own, but they did participate in Operation Revival until the events of the Battle of Tukayyid ended.

Here are three reasons why CGS should be in MWO

• They are a lesser known reserve clan.
  
• It could make choosing Invading and Reserve Clans more unique: 4 Invaders, (Wolf, Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear, and Smoke Jaguar) or 4 Reserves (Nova Cat, Diamond Shark, Steel Viper, and Goliath Scorpion).
  
• Their viewpoints and reasons for being in Operation Revival gives them a legitimate reason to be in this game.

Clan Goliath Scorpion's entry in Operation Revival and Aftermath (3049-3052):




"Not long afterward in 3049, saKhan Ren Posavatz fought and won a Trial of Possession against Clan Steel Viper for the right to accompany their forces to the Inner Sphere. Taking a Star of Scorpion Mechs and his own personal charges with him, Posavatz promised to one day return with Star League treasures he claimed would elevate the Scorpions to the position of ilClan. He never fufilled vow however. Separated from retreating forces during the fighting on Devil's Bath, his band dissapeared on Tukayyid."

- Field Manual: Warden Clans, Clan Goliath Scorpion p.107

During this timeline, here is what their fluff could be:

Insignia:


Clan Goliath Scorpion Information
Empire Designation: Clan Goliath Scorpion
Ruling Nobles: Khan Nikolai Djerassi, saKhan Ren Posavatz
Founding Year: 2807
Government: Clan Caste System
Capitals: Roche, Strana Mechty
Summary:
" The warriors of Clan Goliath Scorpion have an obsession for seeking the future in the past. They believe that the Star League must be rebuilt through finding relics rather than conquering worlds. Scorpions warriors use a potion called necrosia to help them find these relics through visions. Each warrior utilize their own personal charges depending on the bondsmen of their caste and favor pets known as familiars. The clan also utilize Seekers, nomadic warriors dedicated to finding Star League treasure."

TL;DR Version:
The inclusion the of the Goliath Scorpions as a reserve clan can give the other Clans a pretty unique flavor by matching the numbers of the four Invading Clans (Wolf, Jade Falcon, Ghost Bear, and Smoke Jaguars). Given their own reasons on why they join Operation Revival, they could be perfect candidates for the Clan's roster in this game. If there is a way that you can give them their own Faction Icons along with the other clans that would be great.

Nothing for now, but when Community Warfare comes out It will be used to organize players in Inner Sphere and Clan Factions.

Thank you for adding the Clans . I hope you'll consider adding Clan Goliath Scorpion as a new clan along with the Steel Vipers, Nova Cats, and Diamond Sharks.
