Total newb question, but what is the clan military structure. I can't belive I forgot 
1 Point: 1 Mech, 2 Fighters, 5 Elementals
1 Star: 5 Mech, 20 Fighters, 25 Elementals
Trinary: 15 Mech, 75 Elementals
Then there is the Cluster, (45) reinforced Cluster (60 Points?) and Galaxy sized along with Binary. I forget if Binary or Trinary was also used for fighters but I can't seem to find my source book for that info.
Anyone got the total info for it?

Squad: 5 Infantry
Point: 1 'Mech, 2 Vehicles, 2 Fighters, 5 Battle Armor, or 25 Infantry
Star: 5 Points (usually homogenous but may be mixed in any combination)
Binary: 2 Stars (can be mixed, ie 1 'Mech Star and 1 Elemental Star, but is not classified as a Nova)
Nova: Combined Star, usually of 5 BattleMech Points and 5 Elemental Points which are trained to fight together. Aerospace Fighters are sometimes substituted for the BattleMechs, and garrison Novas (which are rare) are usually comprised of Vehicles and Infantry
Supernova: comprised of 2 Novas when the Clans first appeared, now more adequately described as a Supernova Binary
Trinary: 3 Stars (can be mixed)
Supernova Trinary: this one can be tricky. I have seen Trinaries composed of 1 Nova and 2 regular Stars called this, in addition to 2 Novas and 1 Star. 3 Novas may be possible for this type of unit, but I can't recall ever seeing one with 3 Novas in it.
Cluster: 3 to 5 Binaries/Supernova Binaries/Trinaries/Supernova Trinaries
Galaxy: 3 to 5 Clusters is the norm; however, the Steel Viper Alpha Galaxy in FM:Warden Clans has 7 Clusters, and the Jade Falcon Galaxies listed in the old Jade Falcon Sourcebook had 8 or 9 Clusters in them, so this isn't set in stone so to speak. Also, some of the Galaxies in the Ice Hellion Touman have 2 Clusters in them circa 3060.
