Clan Blood Spirit
Faction Profile
Time period: 28073084[1]
Classification: Clan
Controlled systems: 6 (1 at 100%) in 3075[2]
Capital world: Haven[3]; used to be York
Ruler title: Khan
Military: Clan Blood Spirit Touman
Secret Service: Clan Blood Spirit Watch
The Grand Council, in arrogance, gave their decree:

Blood Spirit, you must conform to the Way of the Clans.
You have strayed from the Path; we will lead you back.
The flash of the blade, the striking knife, the traitor's stab!
On the Path our step is true, while the other Clans falter.
We held out our hands, in the spirit of Kerensky's Dream,
And our brethren chose to treat the gesture as folly.
Isolation's embrace, we forsake all and live for the future.

The Remembrance (Clan Blood Spirit)
Passage: 42, Verse 7, Lines 5-12[4]

Named for the esprit-de-corps that bound the original 800 Clan warriors, Clan Blood Spirit ironically became the most isolationist and bitter of the Clans. They believed that the other Clans had abandoned the way set down by Nicholas Kerensky, and events early in their history combined with a lack of allies ensured that the Blood Spirits would remain among the smallest and weakest of Clans. Thus the Blood Spirits did not participate in Operation Revival, and while they survived the Wars of Reaving the Clan's destruction finally came about in 3084 at the hands of its greatest enemy, Clan Star Adder.

History & Origins

Clan Blood Spirit was unique in that it was named for an ideal rather than a totem creature. Its first Khan, Colleen Schmitt, and her warriors thus sought to remember the trust, honor and spirit that had bound the eight hundred warriors who had followed Nicholas Kerensky into exile. Unlike other Clan leaders, Schmitt refrained from filling the post of saKhan at this time, as she wanted a leader who had proven able to work not only with fellow Blood Spirits but also other Clans.[5]

Operation Klondike

Assigned to Arcadia during Operation Klondike, the Blood Spirit's first Cluster favored no particular form of combat, and was most often paired with the Steel Vipers in hammer-and-anvil attacks. Khan Schmitt also attempted to fulfill her self-appointed role as peacemaker and keep her fellow Khans working together toward a common objective.[6] When a friendly-fire incident led to a near-state of war between Clans Star Adder and Ghost Bear, Khan Schmitt managed to cool the situation down and get the Bears to finally cooperate with the other Clans on-planet.[7]

In tandem with Clan Steel Viper, the Blood Spirits advanced upon the Ilkasur Shogunate[8], the Ravisham Collective and the Confederation of Arcadia[9], and then the continent of East Arcadia.[10] Often the Blood Spirits' more considered approach to warfare saved their reckless Viper allies from suffering heavier losses. It was during these battles that Star Captain Devon Boques proved himself able to work with other Clan warriors as well his own; this resulted in Boques becoming the Spirits' first saKhan following Klondike.[11]

Ostracism

In the time following Klondike the Blood Spirits attempted to maintain the esprit de corps that bound all Clans. To this end, Khan Schmitt created the post of ilChi; these nineteen ambassadors would maintain open relations and facilitate mutual aid between the Spirits and the other Clans.[12]

Their dream did not live long. In 2823 Clan Wolverine was Annihilated for rebelling against Kerensky's vision; for expressing some sympathy for the Wolverines, the Blood Spirits found themselves a target as well. Burrocks called for the Spirits' Annihilation, and though the Grand Council voted down the measure, the Spirits were reprimanded and told to follow the Way of the Clans or else. Shocked, and realizing that the other Clans no longer respected one another, Khan Schmitt cancelled the ilChi program.[12]

Following this, the other Clans, predominantly the Burrocks and Mongoose, targeted the Spirits with near constant raids, and the Spirits eventually lost their holdings on Albion and Homer. Reduced to a single planet - York - the Spirits' former regard for their fellow Clans was replaced with a bitter hatred. The death of ilKhan Kerensky in 2834 was blamed by the Spirits upon the other Clans, and a serious of furious counterattacks ended the raiding but cost the Spirits Khan Schmitt and left them a small and weak Clan.[13]

Isolation

Years of fighting had shattered the Spirits, but their isolation, small size and lack of any resources worth fighting over probably saved them from Absorption. The Spirits adopted a policy of near-total isolation, which had the effect of binding the Clan's members more closely together.[14]

When the OmniMech was first deployed by Clan Coyote in 2854, Khan Ceana Boques initiated several programs to counter this new technology. Spirit warrior training was toughened to the point where it produced fewer but better warriors than in any other Clan, while merchant and laborer caste members received rudimentary weapons training to serve as a militia in times of need. Blood Spirit technicians, many of them ex-warrior trainees, were also permitted to train and fight, with the winner of an annual Grand Melee granted another Trial of Position. Exploration and colonization of new worlds, first among them Foster, was undertaken, while the scientist caste was forced to improve its eugenics program and 'Mech designs.[15]

Expecting nothing but hostility from other Clans, the Blood Spirits were surprised when the Fire Mandrill Kindraa Smythe-Jewell approached them with an offer instead: OmniMech technology in exchange for territory on Foster. Though initially suspicious, the Spirits accepted the deal and thus gained OmniMechs. Shortly after, the Spirits found themselves unable to retain their holdings on Foster due to increased Burrock raids, and so ceded the enclave to Kindraa Smythe-Jewell. In return, the Fire Mandrills gave the Spirits battlesuit technology and the breeding material for Elementals.[16]

When Kindraa Smythe-Jewell was destroyed in 2872, Clan Blood Spirit resurrected the ilChi office and dispatched an emissary to the rest of Clan Fire Mandrill offering military aid. Though rejected, the offer improved the tentative ties between the two Clans and lead to an informal alliance. The success of this new compact and the Spirits' resource deficit later prompted Khan Boques to accept limited trade offers from Clan Sea Fox.[16]

In 2975 Fara Church became Khan of Clan Blood Spirit. With momentum building for a return to the Inner Sphere, Church realized that his Clan's touman was too small to be considered a viable member of any invasion. To counter this, the Blood Spirits contacted Clan Snow Raven and made an offer: the Blood Spirits would trade some of their excess WarShips for a large quantity of the Ravens' older, second-line BattleMechs. The deal benefitted both parties immensely, allowing the Spirits to increase the size of their touman considerably, and led to the Spirits gaining a new ally of sorts.[17]

The 31st Century

Although the Blood Spirits participated in the bidding for Operation Revival, they did so in a lackluster manner that ensured their failure to win a place in the Trials, let alone the invasion force. Though they followed the Crusader philosophy, the Blood Spirits did not think the time was right for an invasion of the Inner Sphere. They derived some measure of satisfaction and vindication when the invaders faltered at Tukayyid.

The Burrock Absorption and the Great Refusal

In early 3059, the Spirits' long-time foe, Clan Burrock, became the target of a Trial of Absorption, and the Blood Spirit Khans made a rare appearance at the Grand Council to support the measure. The Spirits were horrified when the honor of Absorption went to the Star Adders and decided to take unilateral action; they launched their own attacks against the Burrock enclaves on Priori and Albion.

However, the Spirits underestimated the Adder and Burrock response. Though locked in a trial over the Grand Council's decision, the two Clans worked together to counter the interlopers. The Blood Spirits committed seven Galaxies in the assault on five worlds, fewer than eight Clusters survived to withdraw at the end of the fighting, although they destroyed seven Galaxies of Star Adder and Burrock troops. Since the Blood Spirits did not gain anything from their assault, they returned to their isolation, emerging only for the Great Refusal a year later.

Wars of Possession


Wars of Reaving


Final Destruction


Society

The Blood Spirits believe that everyone is important to society and there is little of the inter-caste bickering found in other Clans. All the castes are bound by common training, re-creating the sense of brotherhood the Clan once had with the others. However, this does not prevent the ubiquitous trueborn-over-freeborn bias, although if a freeborn warrior can prove his worth to society, the Clan does not place additional obstacles in his way.

To describe the Blood Spirits as insular would be a major understatement. They rarely take bondsmen, and often attempt bondsref rather than be taken in by other Clans. Those few taken by other Clans rival the Fire Mandrills in their lack of cooperation.

Their isolation restricts the Blood Spirits' access to modern technology, and what technology they have obtained has been acquired through a circuitous route. This hardly bothers them, because they see technology as a means to an end. They believe that their abilities alone are sufficient, without the need for a technological "crutch." In a similar vein, they shun the use of cybernetics and related systems. They believe such systems detract from the warrior's spirit, and while a few individuals have cybernetic prostheses, no Blood Spirit warrior had Enhanced Imaging implants prior to the Absorption War. Since then, a small number of more aggressive warriors have made use of the system.

Though they work together, all members of Clan Blood Spirit are protective of their privacy. Most have some form of hobby, often artistic, that they use as a distraction from the routine of their lives. The Khans and the caste heads have encouraged the practice, and it appears that by granting time to "be themselves" they have strengthened the Clan's internal bonds. Knowing the Clan respects them and their ideas, the individual Blood Spirits do their utmost to further the goals of the Clan.

And yet things appear to be changing in the Blood Spirits. Staunch believers in tradition, their actions in the Absorption War (as they call the action against the Burrocks and Star Adders) flew in the face of tradition and many have questioned Khan Schmitt's judgment. Furthermore, the Clan's defeat at the hands of the Genyosha in the Great Refusal on Strana Mechty has exacerbated their intense dislike of the Inner Sphere. What were once regarded as "uncouth barbarians" are now viewed as "rabid despoilers."

Further, the Spirits are horrified that the Inner Sphere has attained near parity with their Clan in technology, and may in fact be ahead in some areas. They cite the carelessness of the other Clans for this state of affairs, blaming them for the loss of the Great Refusal on Strana Mechty. The Spirits intend to exploit the potential of the ProtoMech, which they gained in a Trial of Possession on Huntress following the Great Refusal, as their best chance of fielding advanced technology with their limited resources.

Military

The Blood Spirits continue to follow the organizational doctrine laid down by Nicholas Kerensky (three 'Mech trinaries, one infantry trinary and one vehicle trinary per cluster) rather than the modified form used by most other Clans. They deploy aerospace assets from the naval reserve as needed. Only Clan Hell's Horses makes such widespread use of conventional troops.

Training for Blood Spirit warriors is perhaps the toughest in the Clans, making up for the small number of graduates with their quality. However, while individual warriors are unparalleled in their abilities, Blood Spirit units suffer from lack of initiative. Star Captains and Star Colonels are too accustomed to acting on the orders of their superiors, leading to a rigidity that a wily foe can exploit.

The Clan has taken the unusual step of training all its personnel in basic combat techniques. This gives the Spirits a massive, if low skilled, reserve to fall back upon in the event of an attack on their capital (which, with the exception of their Strana Mechty enclave, is now their only territory). The reserve can also serve to bind the civilian and warrior castes together, the bond of common training creating the espirit-de-corps they no longer have with the other Clans.

Allies & Enemies

The Blood Spirits have no official alliances with other Clans, but the continued posting of ilChis to Clans Fire Mandrill and Snow Raven forges a bond and makes those Clans de facto allies. In addition, the Blood Spirits have a tacit relationship with the Diamond Shark, using them as brokers and suppliers since the close of Operation Klondike.

The Spirits regard most of the other Clans with disdain or hatred, but they single out three for particular attention. Clan Hell's Horses and Clan Coyote are regarded as treacherous for their joint assault that destroyed the Fire Mandrill Kindraa Smythe-Jewell, the association that gave the Spirits OmniMech technology. However, even this hatred pales into insignificance when compared to that they have for the Star Adders. The Adders absorbed Clan Burrock largely intact, and the Spirits have transferred their feud with that Clan to the Adders.

Possessions

The Blood Spirits have never held significant territory. At their greatest extent, they spanned five worlds, and for much of their history they have had only their enclaves on Arcadia and Strana Mechty, as well as dominant (but not absolute) control of York. Since the Absorption War, they have enacted a deliberate policy of isolation, taking the extreme step of withdrawing their people from Arcadia to York. Furthermore, they seized complete control of their capital, forcibly ejecting the Jade Falcons and persuading Clan Snow Raven to withdraw.

On Strana Mechty, their holdings have always been distinct from those of other Clans, isolated by distance from their neighbors. Since the Absorption War, the Spirits have enacted strict controls on passage through their territory, further reducing the already minimal contacts.
