[edit] Description

The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky is the definitive sourcebook for information on Clan society and culture. The first section details the history of the Clans collectively, beginning with the creation of the Star League and ending with the ejection of Clan Steel Viper from the Inner Sphere in 3061. The second section is about the culture of the Clans, including the caste system, Bloodnames, and social mores. That is followed by a discussion of Clan government and the various factions and organizations that play into that, including Bloodhouses, Clan Councils, and the military. The fourth sections goes a little more in depth into the individual Clans. Section five provides information on some of the worlds in Clan space, including Strana Mechty and the Pentagon Worlds. A glossary provides definitions for different Clan terms. Finally, a rules section provides a guide on how Clan characters should behave in combat and their views on different situations.

[edit] From the back cover

“

For twelve long years, the Clans have savaged Inner Sphere worlds and armies alike. But who are they? What drives them? This comprehensive report finally puts to rest more than a decade's worth of speculation about the descendants of Kerensky. The information in this document may be the Inner Sphere's greatest weapon against their Clan foes. The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky describes in detail all the elements that forged the Clans into the ultimate warrior society, including their history, government, customs and homeworlds. This book also covers the Clans' current status and holdings, including a map of Clan space. The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky also features the insignias of each of the original twenty Clans.
