History
Operation Klondike
Assigned to liberate Circe during Operation Klondike, Clan Mongoose failed to match several other Clans during the post-Pentagon period of colonization of the Kerensky Cluster.
InterClan Conflicts
After the annihilation of Clan Wolverine, Khan Loris of Clan Mongoose attempted to exert control over Clan Snow Raven, which had been badly wounded by the Wolverines. Loris withdrew his attempts at Absorption when the Snow Raven Khan Stephen McKenna threatened to give the Grand Council tapes proving a personal connection between Khan Loris and Khan Sarah McEvedy of the Wolverines. Clan Mongoose also struck ruthlessly at Clan Blood Spirit, often disregarding Clan rules of engagement.
In 2844, motivated by jealousy. The Mongoose warriors struck at Clan Star Adder and ruthlessly massacred the Adder colonists on Marshall. The outraged Star Adders took their revenge by wiping out the entire Mongoose attack force. In retaliation, the same Star Adder commander moved and conquered the Mongoose colony on Tokasha. They, then had entire former Mongoose population of the enclaved transported to Marshall where they were used to repopulate Star Adder's enclave.[1] The Mongoose Clan was no match for the Star Adders but once they obtained the OmniMech they hit the Star Adders in force. However, they overextended themselves and the Adders managed to obtain the OmniMech and struck back. Just as the Star Adder assaults were winding down, Clan Mongoose attacked Clan Smoke Jaguar and was soundly beaten.
Absorption and Legacy
Khan Walter Martindale of Clan Mongoose appealed to the Grand Council to censure the Jaguars, even citing the words of Nicholas Kerensky to support his untenable position. The Council, outraged at his blatant attempt to sidestep a Grand Council ruling, deemed him unfit to rule. The Grand Council called for a Trial of Absorption. Already weakened by conflict with the Star Adders, Clan Mongoose fell before the Smoke Jaguars. Seeing the opportunity this presented, Clan Cloud Cobra launched a Trials of Possession for and won some seventy legacies of eleven different Mongoose Bloodnames.
By 3067, a single WarShip of the Clan remained in mothballs in the Clan Capital system of Strana Mechty. The ancient Du Shi Wang-class Battleship, the Quicksilver Mongoose, had faithfully served the Clan until the Clan's untimate demise. [2]
