The Clan Steel Viper Touman was the military arm of Clan Steel Viper.

Unit Structure

Most front-line Clusters 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 Points contain only one fighter rather than the standard two, and proportionally a large number are assigned escort duty to WarShips and other spacecraft. This leaves ground units much more vulnerable to air assaults than other Clan units.^[1]

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.^[1]

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.^[1]

The Steel Vipers also maintain specialist Star formations which are almost all "pure" unit types, the exception being Rattler and Molt Stars.^[1]
