The Clan that treats its freebirths with the same regard as its trueborns.

Clan Rai$en perhaps, the king'd be like Särimner slaughtered every night for the amusement of his people only to rise again in the morning.

Other than that I don't think GMO freaks are good for much except as sex slaves,

A clannerd that doesn't know $#!+ about clan history...
Should I be surprised? That's what it takes for the clans to look like they're worth a damn.
It's all "Ooh, shiny technology" until you read their history.

I doubt anyone could relate to the communist test tube babies if they actually realized they were communists and practiced slavery.
A clan's khan is "elected" about like Joseph Stalin was elected.

Whatever planet is occupied by a clan, I doubt they care which one it is, unless it's "Clan Bomb-the-Whole-City-From-Space".

Withdrawn. OMG, the lore makes the game even less believable.

The Ghost Bear Dominion was what the area of space was called after the FRR was rekt by the unstoppable Ghost Bear Touman, and our entire Clan immigrated (in secret) from Clan space into the former CG occupation zone. This made the other Clans so mad, they abjured CGB. Without going into extensive inter-Clan politics regarding the Home Clans vs the Invading Clans, the Ghost Bear Dominion was viewed as being simply Too Awesome to have CGB be an "official" Clan anymore. This is when CGB also adopted a Warden stance.

It wasn't until the jihad that what remained of the FRR began negotiations to formally combine the two states into one Super Awesome State of Ultimate Badass.

So you see, there's a happy ending. CGB realized the Great Father's vision (the only Clan to practically do so), the peoples of the former FRR were smoothly integrated into the new government, the Kungsarme proved itself in Trials and earned places of honor, and the result was the Most Powerful Force in the Universe.

I'm guessing you would've been one of the mutinous dezgra from the naughty units, that were brought to heel by their own military command. The shame.

If you have any questions, I recommend visiting this thread.

The Ghost bears were not abjured when they moved to the inner sphere. it was proposed, but failed.

There can be only one.

Oh come now, surely you'd much prefer Clan wolf to be your overlords, is there really any question? We're the Wardens after all, but hey I mean I guess if you want to live beneath the boot of our cutthroat crusader brethren, be my guest.

[Lily from animove]

I guess clan olf or clan Hells Horses would be most suited, they allow more individual freedom and so most IS people would probably be happier in these structures.

later in History maybe the GB's since they changed much of their original doctrine.

I hear alot of talk from Kurita about this Die Clan. Maybe they wouldn't be so bad.

I would like to expand on my answer:

I would pick the Clan Sea Fox first for the pure fact of their ability to negotiate, trade, and commerce. Unlike many of the other clans, Clan Sea Fox builds itself on trade routes and hopefully will find a home planet or system to call its own some day. All the while they continue to bring in wealth and expand in IS with good will more so then the boot. Not to say they can't fight because they are just as much clan and follow traditions but they look to bring the IS under control and to help save themselves more then crush into oppression (like Jade Falcon or the others).

The second option would be clan Nova Cat, yes the mystics as some call them, but it is for their tradition to honor and hope to also find a place for safe haven.

Many of the other clans are led to just blood letting, slaughter, oppression, and ultimately the rule of the IS by crushing the weakness out of it. But there are a few who wish to make it stronger through growth and assimilation rather then destruction.

As for clan structure is a cast system for leadership, with your roll in life places you in how much say you have. In clan they also promote bigotry by tube babies are in leadership positions in the casts over their freeborn members. So overall structure of order is built on this cast system and after that you get into it's economical structure is a communistic structure that everything is for the whole. All the money, technology, research, and so on is to promote the group as a whole then just one person. This allowing the Khan of the clan to gain all recognition for what its members do then the member them-self.

Overall I would choose lone wolf or merc in the end because I do not want to listen to anyone. Not to mention the fact that half the damn time the clans go crazy and mass murder cities for no reason than fear tactic. Or anyone remember orbital bombardment of a planet which was so devastating that the clans then band the use of warships in their conquest? So yeah ... .

You still want to be absorbed by Rasalhague? We don't want to be your ruler, but we will still give you asylum, just like in the lore.

Wait. WE got absorbed by Rasalhague?



Thanks. I needed that.

Not sure if your RPing or not, but there is quite a bit of speculation that the Wolverines became the Minnisota Tribe (the 331st), which in turn, became the WoB. This is even all theory in BT lore, but still a possibility, so not sure why your claiming troll....unless Im missing something?

http://www.sarna.net.../Clan_Wolverine

Look in the Legacy section. Yes the info claimed by Uncle Chandy could have been cooked up to get the bears involved full force in the Jihad, but its still possible....according to lore.

No idea what that is. Pretty sure you made that up.

Clan Wolverine was annihilated by Clan Wolf in 2823. The survivors under Trish Ebon made it back to the IS in 2825 and raided the Draconis Combine, as the so-called "Minnesota Tribe." In Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents, it is stated but wholly unsubstantiated that ComStar caught up to the former Wolverines and settled them on Mars and the Five Hidden Worlds, from which they they formed a secret cabal called "The Blood." The Blood ultimately subverted ComStar, became the driving force behind the Word of Blake and ultimately the fiercely anti-clan Manei Domini.

The other sourcebooks also suggest that one group of Wolverines under a commander named Varus conquered Granada and Nueva Castille and formed the Umayyad Caliphate. Meanwhile, another group of Wolverine refugees apparently worked their way around the Periphery from the Draconis Combine, and past the Federate Suns and the Capellan Confederation before settling on a far away planet tantalizingly named "McEvedy's Folly," located rimward of the free Worlds League and the Magistracy of Canopus. They established a base there, but it was abandoned sometime before 3025. It was discovered during an archaelogical dig in 3095, but the Word Of Blake showed up and promptly nuked it from orbit.

And that's where it stands since Catalyst has never finished the story. However, I recommend that anyone interested in Clan Wolverine read Blaine Lee Pardoe's excellent Betrayal of Ideals, which is the true story of the "Not-Named" and their annihilation.

Sadly I do not think pgi will ever allow that to happen. They have already used the first dirty trick in the bag, faction bribery(in the name of balance) and I am sure they would even go so low to have map resets or server damage (caugh caugh) before they let it happen.

The devs are simply that biased

I wouldn't call shifting rewards around to be a 'dirty trick'. The fact of the matter is that some factions have a much larger player base than others. I think ideally, PGI would prefer that each House and Clan had roughly the same number of players, but since they know that won't happen on its own, they are trying to shift things around to attempt to reach that ideal.

...can't say if I'm certain if this is successful or not, or if this is a viable or sustainable method, but that is the intent that I see behind it.

I also cannot say that map resets and such are biased so much as it is exactly what PGI said was going to happen when discussing certain facets of CW. They already pointed out that there would be map resets that would occur on a seasonal basis...though they have not defined exactly how long a season is.

I do know that there will be a reset when they start releasing more stuff regarding CW (such as what to do with all of the money accrued by units that, for the time being, does nothing).
