Unit Structure
The Ice Hellions largely follow the standard Clan model in organizing their Clusters, with five Trinaries of three 'Mech, one Aerospace and one Elemental. Front-line Clusters receive the best equipment and warriors, including the most number of OmniMechs and OmniFighters, and are with rare exceptions all trueborn. Second-line Clusters make due with less, taking longer to receive supplies and repairs, and contain a larger number of freeborn warriors alongside aging or disgraced trueborns. They also contain fewer OmniMechs, which are reserved for experienced trueborn commanders. Both front-line and second-line Clusters emphasize the Ice Hellion philosophy of swift attack and agile response on the battlefield, and so rely heavily on light- to medium-weight 'Mechs; heavy and assault machines are often used for garrison duty, again with a preference to speed over armor.[1][2]
Unique to the Ice Hellions was the creation of so-called Flurry clusters in the wake of the Hellion's Fury campaign in order to hold onto their newly-captured territory. Little more than cannon fodder, Flurry units are loose groupings of mostly freeborns, along with relatively few aging or disgraced truborns, whose only job is to hold an area until proper units can arrive. While organized loosely along standard Cluster lines, the vast majority of a Flurry unit's forces are fast attack hovercraft and VTOLs, with approximately five percent piloting salvaged or decrepit 'Mechs. On occasion these ad hoc units have managed to give a good showing themselves, at least long enough for reinforcements to arrive.[3] By 3067 the number of Flurry units had not only grown, but more and more have proven themselves capable combat units despite the natural Clan bias against combat vehicles, with more of these units spread out amongst the Clan's Galaxies.[4]
