The only real canon to clans is MechWarrior 2. Then the TT-gods-nerd-commitee stuck thier hands in it to make a point that they can punk clans around. But the clans are punking them back.
They say mw2 is not canon.

But anyone who knows clans KNOWS MW2 is HOW it went down. The rest is just TT-nerds-slurping some wanabe supremecy, Like some punk kid trying to tell a vietnam vet how it went down.

I got the best FK canon cause I WAS THERE.

Read the Mech warrior 2 manual. they got it at the sarnet.


It states Zellbringen is a code for regulating DUELS. Not battle and war.

MW2 is the holy bible of what it means to be clans. The TT-nerds are the source of what it is to be a KLINGON.

Clans is not fk klingons. Youtube mechwarrior 2 gameplay look at how they act and missions.

When you went on missions in MW2 its to destroy objectives, capture objectives, The objective was the priority. Wouldn't stop to ask if anyone wanted to duel.



"Engaging in battle with more than one ’Mech against a sole MechWarrior holds the
least honor; one-on-one combat holds the highest Clan honor."

-MW2 MANUAL


See the TT's and book worms will have you believe that many mechs vs one is dishonorable, Theres a difference between NO honor and LEAST honor. Least still implies its honorable not dishonorable.

Fact after first glance notice how they mention Mech against Mechwarrior instead of mechwarrior against mechwarrior. Because this lesson might be in refrence to common mistake we see now breaking off your lance to rambo it against the other team.


Theres a reason its called clan WOLF, KHANS, and KESHIKS. For that your gonna have to research Genghis Khan. He united the clans conquered asian then went to europe....kicked everyones butt. So the theme is sorta like that with crusaders where IS is sorta like europe and the clans are the mongols. But also with a mix of crusaders who want jerusalem for the clan its TERRA. Terra is the Jerusalem holy planet they got to get. Wardens who for protecting it and the crusaders think they should conquer it for themselves.

All these TT-elitist mf are inner sphere mf who like dictating what a clan is and does.

According to them they are klingons so it can fit their star trek pencil pushing fantasy.

Thats just bs.

Mechwarrior 2 is what happened. The day clans gets on MWO is when they finally "play it off".

Hrhr, if the Clans were ment to be based on the mongols they would give a flying f' about honor and duels. Ask the Samurais, they can tell you a lot of stories about the mongolian-kind of warfare.

There are other Clans very lenient on Zellbrigen, such as Sea Fox.

As this is, in game time, 3050, I can rightfully ask, who, or what, is Clan Sea Fox. If, however, you mean the Clan Diamond Shark........

None of the extant clans view Zell the same way. Frankly, if you are a Light asking Zell of an IS pilot in an Atlas, you better be using PGI's ECM suite, or you are just plain nutz (or more likely, suicidal). This is the kind of question that is like "If God is so powerful, can he create a rock so large that he cannot himself pick it up?"

Zell is intended to pit one mechwarrior of a certain skill level with that of another at the same or slightly higher skill level in mechs that roughly meet the same tonnage. Say, medium vs another medium of say a Black Lanner vs a Cauldron Born or a Timberwolf vs a Highlander. No clansman piloting a light would ask Zell of an Atlas pilot unless it was to poke fun. In that case, it would never happen because Zell is a serious challenge, regardless of which Clan idiom is being considered.
