	Most front-line [[Cluster]]s conformed to the standard [[Clan]] doctrine of three [[OmniMech]], one [[Elemental]] and one [[OmniFighter]] [[Trinary]].  Medium and heavy-weight 'Mechs comprise most of these 'Mech assets, with light and assault 'Mechs restricted to specialist units.  However, though they field the same number of aerospace fighters as other Clans, Steel Viper aerospace [[Point]]s contain only one fighter rather than the standard two, and proportionally a large number are assigned escort duty to [[WarShip]]s and other spacecraft.  This leaves ground units much more vulnerable to air assaults than other Clan units.<ref name=WC138>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 138</ref>		Most front-line [[Cluster]]s conformed to the standard [[Clan]] doctrine of three [[OmniMech]], one [[Elemental]] and one [[OmniFighter]] [[Trinary]].  Medium and heavy-weight 'Mechs comprise most of these 'Mech assets, with light and assault 'Mechs restricted to specialist units.  However, though they field the same number of aerospace fighters as other Clans, Steel Viper aerospace [[Point]]s contain only one fighter rather than the standard two, and proportionally a large number are assigned escort duty to [[WarShip]]s and other spacecraft.  This leaves ground units much more vulnerable to air assaults than other Clan units.<ref name=WC138>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 138</ref>
−	Second-line Clusters vary their composition based on their specialist role. Fang Clusters deploy three BattleMech Trinaries and a conventional [[infantry]] Trinary while Phalanx Clusters reverse this by deploying three infantry Trinaries and one 'Mech. Legion Clusters deploy two each of 'Mech and conventional infantry, and all three include an Aerospace Trinary.  This willingness to use non-''[[solahma]]'' conventional infantry is unique among the Clans, though for the most part these forces are little seen outside garrison Clusters.  While [[combat vehicles]] are also used by second-line Clusters, they are less common.<ref name=WC138/>	+	Second-line Clusters vary their composition based on their specialist role.

−	All Steel Viper Galaxies underwent a strategic reorganization in [[3068]] when the new Rattle Clusters were introduced. Veteran Clusters from several Galaxies were removed to form Omicron Galaxy, and replaced in their old Galaxy by a Rattle Cluster.<ref name=WoR41>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 41</ref> The Steel Viper ''touman'' would meet its end, in 3075 after being discovered as the only remaining Clan who had been "[[Invader_Clans|tainted]]" by their contact in the Inner Sphere. IlKhan Brett Andrews' actions in the Clan Council only hastened the Steel Vipers' fate as the remaining home Clans had effectively destroyed the ''touman'' and razed their capital. The destruction of the ''touman'' would mark the end the Wars of Reaving.

The '''Clan Steel Viper Touman''' was the military arm of [[Clan Steel Viper]]. ==Unit Structure== Most front-line [[Cluster]]s conformed to the standard [[Clan]] doctrine of three [[OmniMech]], one [[Elemental]] and one [[OmniFighter]] [[Trinary]]. Medium and heavy-weight 'Mechs comprise most of these 'Mech assets, with light and assault 'Mechs restricted to specialist units. However, though they field the same number of aerospace fighters as other Clans, Steel Viper aerospace [[Point]]s contain only one fighter rather than the standard two, and proportionally a large number are assigned escort duty to [[WarShip]]s and other spacecraft. This leaves ground units much more vulnerable to air assaults than other Clan units.<ref name=WC138>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 138</ref> Second-line Clusters vary their composition based on their specialist role. Fang Clusters deploy three BattleMech Trinaries and a conventional [[infantry]] Trinary while Phalanx Clusters reverse this by deploying three infantry Trinaries and one 'Mech. Legion Clusters deploy two each of 'Mech and conventional infantry, and all three include an aerospace Trinary. This willingness to use non-[[solahma]] conventional infantry is unique among the Clans, though for the most part these forces are little seen outside garrison Clusters. While [[combat vehicles]] are also used by second-line clusters, they are less common.<ref name=WC138/> Another unique feature is all Steel Viper warriors are [[trueborn]]; even second-line units are composed of truebirth warriors who simply did not test well during their final [[Trial of Position]].<ref name=WC138/> The Steel Vipers also maintain specialist [[Star]] formations which are almost all "pure" unit types, the exception being Rattler and Molt Stars.<ref name=WC138/> {| class="wikitable" border="1" |- !
