Unlike other Clans, the Diamond Sharks make due with fewer [[Galaxy|Galaxies]], which in turn are composed of fewer [[Cluster]]s, than is typical.  However, each Cluster is also much bulkier than those found in other ''[[touman]]s'', containing more [[Trinary|Trinaries]] than normal.  While Clusters favor the combined-arms approach to warfare, Trinaries are often "pure" formations composed of either [[Elementals]], [[BattleMechs]], or [[aerospace fighter]]s for ease of organization and logistics, though exceptions do exist.<ref name=FMWC6465>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', pp. 64–65</ref>

Front-line Clusters number five to six Trinaries, one of which is often a [[Supernova (unit)|Supernova Trinary]], while the Cluster's command Trinary is composed of a command [[Star]] (modeled after command Stars as used by [[Clan Wolf]]) and a support [[Binary]].  These formations want for nothing thanks to the Diamond Shark's mercantile skills and so make heavy use of [[OmniMechs]] and [[OmniFighters]].  A front-line Galaxy will typically have only four Clusters.<ref name=FMWC6465/>

When Clan Diamond Shark reformed into [[Clan Sea Fox]] again in [[3100]], the Clan changed their Clusters and Galaxies to [[Clan_Sea_Fox#Aimag|Aimags]] and [[Clan_Sea_Fox#Khanates|Khanates]] respectively.
