===Training the Dragoons===
After the proposal of the [[Dragoon Compromise]] was ratified by the [[Grand Council]], Clan Goliath Scorpion [[saKhan]] [[Ren Posavatz]] immediately offered a ''[[batchall]]'' to assist in the training of the newly formed unit, [[Wolf's Dragoons]].  The program would train the Dragoons in the styles of warfare fought prior to the [[Operation Exodus|Exodus]], helping them to eventually blend into their new surroundings in the [[Inner Sphere]] better than if they had fought with standard [[Clan]] tactical doctrine.  After more than two years of constant drills against each other, the Dragoons made their way to the spinward side of the Inner Sphere in [[3005]], beginning a mission that would become a legendary odyssey.<ref name=FM:WCp106/><ref name=FM:CCp136>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 136: "The Call to Invade"</ref>

===Wolf Clan Acquisition===
Wolf [[Khan]] [[Kerlin Ward]] was so impressed with the abilities of Star Colonel Dinour and his command that in [[3012]] he approved a [[Trial of Possession]].  After successfully claiming their prize, Clan Wolf would see to it that he was quickly adopted into their warrior caste, assigning him to the [[4th_Striker_(Clan_Wolf)|4th Striker Cluster]], allowing him to shape the unit into a potent and versatile mixed [[Trinary]] unit.  In addition to organization and tactical changes, Star Colonel Dinour would also introduce new traditions to the unit, such as the Goliath Scorpion fondness for keeping pets, or familiars.  He would also inform the Wolves about the detailed reports on Inner Sphere tactics and strategies that had been brought back by the Scorpion volunteers who had initially accompanied Wolf's Dragoons on their mission.<ref name=FM:WCp106/><ref name=WCSp103>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 103: "4th Striker Cluster"</ref>

Though his new organization structure would not become the model for Clan Wolf's frontline [[Cluster]]s, it would become the basis for the formation of their [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Epsilon Galaxy]].  Interestingly enough, Clan Wolf would also at some point acquire the rights to Vlad Dinour's genetic legacy.  A descendant of his, [[Charles Dinour]], would command the Fourth Striker during [[Operation REVIVAL]]. The Goliath Scorpions were still listed as exclusively holding the [[Dinour (Bloodname)|Dinour Bloodname]] in spite of this, suggesting that they had subsequently won back exclusive access to the lineage.<ref name=FM:WCp106/><ref name=WCSp103/><ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 103: "Goliath Scorpion Exclusive Bloodnames"</ref>
