Clansmen?[edit]

Somerset was embargoed until clansmen reconsidered Given the time-frame it occurs in, the clans wouldn't even have existed yet, so why is it called clansmen? Anyone know the canonical source for that? Onisuzume 02:33, 5 June 2009 (PDT)

Uh, the Clans don't have a monopoly on the use of the word in the Battletech universe, lots of Scottish based cultural colonies like Somerset and Northwind have Clans and Clansman too, likewise ninja style groups in Kurita space also tend to use the word too, long before Kerensky was ever born.

Ah right, I didn't know they were decendants from the scottish. Does explain a lot. But as you notice, when one lacks that piece of information, it can get a bit confusing. Onisuzume 08:15, 5 June 2009 (PDT)
