Clan Diamond Shark Touman

The Clan Diamond Shark touman is the military arm of Clan Diamond Shark.

Unit Structure[edit]

Unlike other Clans, the Diamond Sharks make due with fewer Galaxies, which in turn are composed of fewer Clusters, than is typical. However, each Cluster is also much bulkier than those found in other toumans, containing more Trinaries than normal. While Clusters favor the combined-arms approach to warfare, Trinaries are often "pure" formations composed of either Elementals, BattleMechs, or aerospace fighters for ease of organization and logistics, though exceptions do exist.^[1]

Front-line Clusters number five to six Trinaries, one of which is often a Supernova Trinary, while the Cluster's command Trinary is composed of a command Star (modeled after command Stars as used by Clan Wolf) and a support Binary. These formations want for nothing thanks to the Diamond Shark's mercantile skills and so make heavy use of OmniMechs and OmniFighters. A front-line Galaxy will typically have only four Clusters.^[1]

Second-line Clusters are similarly larger, though second-line Galaxies only contain three each. These units also make due with more standard 'Mech and fighter designs than front-line formations, though at least one Cluster in each Galaxy (and all command Trinaries) are outfitted with OmniMechs and OmniFighters. However they do not make use of command Stars.^[1]

Garrison forces lack advanced technology like Omni machines, but still receive quality equipment thanks to the fact that they are not looked down upon as in other Clans. Each Galaxy is usually composed of five Clusters each of which contain four Trinaries.^[1]

When Clan Diamond Shark reformed into Clan Sea Fox again in 3100, the Clan changed their Clusters and Galaxies to Aimags and Khanates respectively.
