Home Clans

Home Clans was the term used to denote a Clan that was not involved with the invasion of the Inner Sphere, Operation Revival.

Historical Overview

Not to be confused with Clan Ice Hellion Khan Asa Taney's Home Clan Coalition formed during the 3050's, the term Home Clan would come to take on deeper shades of meaning in the years after the Great Refusal. As the Wars of Reaving swept through the Clan Homeworlds, the Clans who identified themselves as Home Clans often felt that they had held to the true Way of the Clans, while the Invader Clans had lost that way. By the end of the Wars of Reaving, all of the Invader Clans had been Abjured from Clan Society. Their residual taint burnt from the flesh of the Home Clans' beings through the purification processes of war and their renewed belief in the Clan Way.[1][2][3]

As of 3090, new political philosophies had taken root in the Clan Homeworlds. This change was borne of the strife and politics of the previous era. Since then, Clan politics had shifted away from the older internal Crusader-Warden conflicts that led up to Operation Revival, and as many also felt, had irredeemably tainted so many strong Clans, weakening them from the inside out. Called the Bastions, the new political movement espoused the need for the Clans to be pure and and live by the Honor Road in order to overcome the Inner Shpere in any new invasion of the Inner Sphere. The Bastions movement would also generate its own offshoot with which to contend. Called the Aggressors, they possess a much more straight-forward (and brutal) approach to the future renewed invasion.[4]
