Here is an idea of events that I and two friends debate while driving down to Virginia a week ago. Yes, I had vacation time...:)

I will post the idea, and my thoughts, and I would like to see what you folks think of this happening or not happening.

A war erupts between the Clans that didn't fight in the Inner Sphere. The war ends with only one Clan left having defeated and absorbed the others.

Now I think that it would be either the Star Adders or Coyotes. Or maybe these two combine and together they take out the others.

Now as to why the war happens, any reason is good enough. The idea is two part, can this happen, if so what would be the out come. And if it can't, why can't it.

Also how would the Inner Sphere Clans, (Falcons, Vipers, Wolves, Sharks, Bears) react to the one single all powerful Clan sitting back in the Homeworlds?

Now to keep this fun, please in your responces give your reason why or why not.

I think the Snow Ravens would have to be in on the Unification. Only they could provide the initial fleet neccessary to get all the forces to the target areas unopposed. (Maybe opposed, but with no success to the opposition)

I think that single clan would either be too small to be a serious threat (taking out other clans is a great way to loose lots of equipment and personnel), or be factionalized and fracture into smaller clans (clans being so individual in nature).

I agree the Snow Ravens would play an important part of the unification. They have the WarShip fleet to destroy most DropShip transports before they land, and handle whatever WarShip escorts the DropShips have with them. I think the Coyotes ground might combined with the Snow Raven fleet could provide a lethal force to conquer the Home Clans, especially if some of the smaller Clans already in danger of Absorption joined the Coyote-Snow Raven coalition. Ultimately, however, such an alliance's main opposition would come from the Wolves and Jade Falcons, the strongest Clans of all, who would resist Absorption by any home clan. Of course, if memory serves, the Jade Falcons were largely reliant on the Snow Raven fleet for transport to the Inner Sphere during the Clan Invasion. If they haven't overcome that problem, a Wolf-Jade Falcon alliance to oppose the "Snow Coyotes" could be hobbled by the Wolves' inability to transport both their troops and the JF troops back to Clan space. (And that's disregarding the likelihood that JF troops would refuse to travel anywhere on Wolf JumpShips. Just because Vlad Ward and Marthe Pryde have been getting along doesn't mean their troops will.)

This analysis is of course, limited. Hope I helped in some way...
