Minnesota Tribe anyone?

Do you think we have seen the last of them? They could be used as an excellent plot device to bring the universe out of this dark age crap.

But first a few thoughts.
-How would their technology evolve away from the Clans? They left before Omnis, Battle armor, eugenics(?) or other Clan tech. The constant warring of the Clans stimulated weapon development, without that could they develop weapons as good or better?
-Would McEveredy chose to push the remnants of the Wolverines in the same direction as the Clans? Or would they revert to a more IS like society? Granted they are starting with a fraction of the people that Kerensky had, and likely nowhere near the resources, but it has been 300 years...
-Speaking of resources, they would not have the capability to produce WarShips, and very likely DropShips as shipyards are huge and not easily mobile, and the Wolvies left in a hurry. Not to mention EndoSteel that requires an orbiting factory. For that matter, a 'mech factory can't be something you just pick up and move. Same with weapons labs and armor production. So would they have what they left with or do you think they could get something running in 300 years?
-People are neccesary to keep a war machine moving. Breeding produces people, yes but it is a time consuming process. Could the Wolverines make occasional runs to the IS and pick up Succesion war orphans? Or IS technology for that matter?

Or are they destined to be a foot note in the BT universe? I doubt it, people thought they had seen the last of Kerensky, but they came back. Or was all my typing for naught becasue FanPro already revealed them as a Periphery state or Merc command?

Just thought it would be a nice topic for discussion.
