The alliance did gain two notable supporters: Khan [[Ian Hawker]] of [[Clan Diamond Shark]] and Khan [[Malavai Fletcher]] of [[Clan Hell’s Horses]]. Despite their support, this alliance bore no fruit as [[Vladimir Ward]] and [[Marthe Pryde]] would stymie his efforts by creating the Harvest Trials. This trial would allow Homeworld units to fight in the Inner Sphere, but under the banner of either the Wolves or Jade Falcons. It would also allow the two clans to rebuild after the [[Refusal War]]. As for Taney’s supporters, Khan Fletcher would make a contract bid to the Wolves in order to be included in the Invasion and Khan Hawker would commit suicide during the aftermath of the Great Refusal. − ===Home Clan Coalition=== + ==Great Refusal== − As Clan Ice Hellion was fervently [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] and had long wanted to participate in an invasion of the [[Inner Sphere]], Taney made it his primary focus as Khan to accomplish this goal. His efforts peaked between [[3058]] and [[3060]] when he forged the [[Home Clan Coalition]] with like-minded Crusaders among other [[Home Clans]]. Taney and his allies aimed to either force the Invading Clans to accept them as new members or replace some of them outright with their own Clans.+ Khan Taney and his Clan would take part in the Great Refusal in order to resume the invasion of Inner Sphere.

While Raina was actually able to launch an invasion in the Inner Sphere, she make several mistakes. Her first strike was not actually cooperating with the Hell's Horses.
