Clan Ghost Bear Naval Forces
Sarna News
A secondary concern to the Ghost Bears, as with many Clans, WarShips are a necessary evil used to protect key worlds, JumpShips, and DropShips from dishonorable foes or bandits. Though they have a limited ability to attain individual honor, the Ghost Bears' concept of family give their WarShip crews better performance compared to those of other Clans. The smaller numbers of WarShips for a Clan of their size nevertheless allowed them to relocate to the Inner Sphere, owing to the large transport capability attained.[1] While the First Combine War and the Jihad cost the Clan as a whole, the Naval Reserve continues to the current day.
