CHistory
Located in the Vindemiatrix in June 20th, 3134 — ovKhan Clarke secretly meets with Clan Jade Falcon representatives to begin efforts to change his Clan. He bargains to have the Jade Falcons kill Khan Hawker, since he was old and weak. Clarke felt Hawker and the ilKhanate were sucking up resources of the entire Clan's Khanates.[1] He secretly wishes for his portion of the Clan to split away. He had been conducting secretly with the Jade Falcons do this for him, so he would be able to slip away while his Clan remains in chaos.
He caught word of Delta Aimag's location in the Adhafera in Prefecture VIII of Republic of the Sphere. He orders his flotilla to jump there. He then announces that he has arrived to conduct Trial of Bloodright between him and Delta Aimag. While in the Adhafera system, both Aimags conduct a Ritual of Combat, take the opportunity brush up on their skills. Neither Aimag has had a Ritual of Combat between each other in three years.[2]
He witnessed the final trial for the Bloodname of Sennet. During this trial, he considered what to do with Petr. Days after the combat on 18th July, he went to Petr and tried to convince him his actions were just and for the greater good of the Clan as a whole.
On August 15th, Sha received word that his efforts with the Jade Falcons were not making any progress. His people in the Sea Fox Watch report of Clan Jade Falcon's failures in taking Kimball II & Skye, as part of the ongoing invasion that he was supporting in secret.[3] He also fumed that his three tails losing sight of the Khan's randomly roaming ilKhanate. Now facing multiple failures, he felt his plan to split Spina Khanate must be put off and eliminate anyone who knew of his dealings with Clan Jade Falcon representatives. On the 29th, an Inner Sphere JumpShip arrived and disrupted the negotiations between Adhafera's Trade Master Tidinic and the two competing Aimag. Sha decided to declare a Trial of Possession for the right to negotiate. Sha selected a warrior to face Petr's champion in the fight. In the end, Beta and Sha were victorious in earning the trading rights.
However, Sha quietly ordered Beta Aimag to start pulling out, and rumors began to spread by September 8th. Several days later, Clarke declared Adhafera an enemy territory due to a series of "accidents" on both an outbound DropShip and Beta's compound.
By doing so, he also denies Delta being able to negotiate with them and must fall back from the planet.
On the flight back on his Overlord-C DropShip, Breaker of Waves, Star Colonel Coleen Nagasawa confronted him demanding why he arranged the deaths of so many of their people. He coldly told her that it had to be done. For the first time in years, he saw weakness in Coleen, as she was loath to order the deaths of so many people. He had Talismantia set course for Stewart, in an attempt to cut a deal with the planet for trade.
When they arrived on September 24th, a trader JumpShip arrived in Stewart system, bringing news of the Voidswimmer in a near collision with an ArcShip. Also, news of a frenzy of DropShip activity between the JumpShips and ArcShips. Hearing of this activity, Sha Clarke and Coleen assumed that their fellow Sea Foxes had learned of his plan to kill the Khan. As he began to discuss how to deal with the incoming Sea Fox forces, he was alerted that unknown DropShips were inbound towards the planet.
On the 27th, ovKhan Petr Kalasa and his mixed Trinary arrived to fight a Trial of Grievance against Sha Clarke. Sha's Beta Aimag bids down his own Trinary to keep them out of the fighting, waiting for Petr to arrive.
In the midst of the battle, Petr found his way and issues a Trial of Annihilation against him and his people. Sha tried to convince Petr he was wrong, that what he had done was only to create a Trial for the office of Khan, not to assassinate him. Petr did not care about Sha's rationalizations, but thanked Sha for helping him to recognize his own selfishness.
Sha and Petr dismounted from their BattleMechs, as do their people. Sha was amused at Petr's shock of his friend Jesup's betrayal. Hoping to throw off Petr in the coming fight between them, Sha rushed Petr, taking advantage of Petr's injuries. However, in the end, no matter how many times Sha knocked him down, Petr got back up regardless of his injuries and Sha was ultimately defeated.[4] He was ultimately killed by Petr Kalasa on Stewart and his genetic legacy purged from the Clan for his crimes.
