[color=#959595]But that means they are not Wolverines then quiaff? I am not an heir to the English Throne even though I am a Genetic relative. Also just a minor note, they would still have easily enough genetics left to be traced back.[/color]
Just because they are as genetically different from their IS counterparts doesnt mean they werent raised as members of Clan Wolverine in their own fashion. Imagine yourself as the IS counterpart to the english throne and Clan Wolverine as the royalty except they does not have DNA to prove they are royalty either. So, one could say they were raised for royalty (Being a Wolverine) but cant prove that they are.

Minnesota Tribe was around in 2825 and disappeared completely without trace just at the Clan Invasion. ComStar took the body of the Richmond Soldier who piloted a pristine Lancelot and bore the numbers 331 on his jacket (which was the number of a Wolverine unit). Now one thing they didn't relay was that the 331 was destroyed during the Annihilation after being recalled to Circe. This insignia also is not the same as the 331 Star League Defense Unit. This Soldier was unveiled right after the Clans came to the Inner Sphere during the Schism. Meaning they had frozen the body for 250 years.
from Sarna:
[color=#000000]The army unit, which had now been labeled the "Minnesota Tribe," attacked [/color]Jarett[color=#000000], this time using massed AeroSpace Fighters to keep the Draconis Combine [/color]BattleMechs[color=#000000] out of the fight. The Tribe attacked for the last time on the planet [/color]Richmond[color=#000000], though it is unclear whether they knew about the jail that housed political prisoners before they freed them. The Tribe loaded the freed prisoners up in their [/color]DropShips[color=#000000] and left, never making their presence known in the [/color]Inner Sphere[color=#000000] again. ComStar continued to track the Tribe as it traveled in the [/color]Deep Periphery[color=#000000] towards the[/color]Federated Suns[color=#000000], only to lose the trail near [/color]Valentina
The Minnesota Tribe disapeared long long before the Clan Invasion. As it states, ComStar lost track of them shortly after their attack on the DCMS and were never seen since. Also the 331st Royal Battlemech Division was the SLDF unit that formed the core of Clan Wolverine, there was no specific 331st unit inside of Clan Wolverine that I know of as no records of their galaxies have been released.

[color=#959595]Its recorded on Sarna when the Weir met Ebon while it was escaping. It is also in one of my sourcebooks (somewhere will give reference when I dig it out). Also McEvedy was already in chaos during the war and Frank may have resigned his position just before death so as to try and fall off the grid and escape. Never know, bad book keeping was the problem with this mess otherwise the Wolverine's fate would be known without Canon Rumor to use as speculation.[/color]
In the Sarna page where the information on Trish Ebon was listed it notes Franklin Hallis as being the Khan which is not possible with Sarah McEvedy being alive at Franklin Hallis death. And Franklin Hallis would most certaintly not have been trying to "fall off the grid". He fought a three hour duel with ilKhan Kerensky before losing. He headed up the entire defense force on Circe during the Annihilation. Also Hallis would not have dictated his successor to the saKhan position even if he resigned at death. That responsibility is the Khans (Sarah McEvedy). Also note, the Zugghoffer Weir was regrouping with the rest of the Wolverine fleet that had been allowed to escape at its seemingly suicide run through the Wolf Fleet.

So that means there were a total of 200 someodd survivors.
Heh, 200 survivors on a McKenna would mean the ship was not operational. The operating crew of a McKenna is 758. Now imagine an a modern day Aircraft Carrier or a Destroyer. If you wanted to turn either of those vessels into an escape boat for a short period you could have several thousand refugees (More in the case of the carrier). Now the Wolverine fleet was not all McKennas nor was it all WarShips even. Jumpships could have housed a significant number of their surviving population.

[color=#959595]Very true, but again could be just bad book keeping. 45% of the men who died the Civil War remained unidentified for 100 years. In WW2 thousands of people remained unidentified. In Iraq even there are many unidentified fallen.[/color]
[color=#959595]But yes large number of 60,000. But if that many escaped it would take up to 300 (or more) McKenna Class ships to escape with them. I think that many didn't escape as 300 McKenna's would be very noticeable quiaff?[/color]

True, however 60000 escaping Wolverines is a rather low estimate I believe. The population of Circe in Sarna is listed as 37 million with Clan Wolf and Snow Raven occupying. Say the population was significantly lower when Snow Raven and Wolverine were occupying at a 1:1 ratio between the two. Assuming around 15 million in population on the planet at the time of Annihilation with 7.5 million with Clan Wolverine then their surviving population would be approx 1.5 million after annihilation. Take off 500000 in desertion, disease and other losses leaving you with a million Wolverine refugees escaping to the Inner Sphere. Jumpships, Dropships, and Warships all could house that population. I mean Clan Ghost Bear transported their entire population (Significantly larger than the measly one million Wolverine refugees) after Tukayyid to the Inner Sphere.

My answer is no. I dont do college football and screw the Lions. Broncos all the way. Been a loyal fan since the Elway era.
Clan Wolverine waiting out in the shadows to return on a 
blood vendetta against the rest of the clans. This could even be an "out " to have a fully outfitted clan fight against the clan invasion or even be a neutral party causing havoc with the clans during their IS invasion or afterwards.The enemy of my enemy is my ally/friend.I am a loyal fan of battletech/MW but MWO is going to be like a whole new splinter /alternate timeline.We can use the tabletop etc to dictate mech loadouts and more but gameplay will not reflect what happened in the "original" Mechwarrior universe leaving us with so many options its hard to fathom 
.Just like BSG or any game out their "WE" will dictate what will happen by our actions ingame not as the story was told to us by FASA/Battletech that all of us fans love so much.
MW4's MechReg planetary had Clan Wolverine leading the clan invasion with one of our members as ilKhan. Wolverine actually conquered Terra twice if I am remembering correctly (After the first reset).
