===Offenses and Omens===
Clan Star Adder's Khans reacted immediately to the news of the killing of tens of thousands of their colonists.  Star Adder [[saKhan]] [[Dembe N'Buta]] and the elite [[Quasar_Keshik_(Clan_Star_Adder)|Quasar Keshik]] then set out to track the unit responsible, a short chase leading to the Mongoose colony world of [[Tokasha]].  Once there, they hunted down every warrior from the officers down to the lowliest [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]]. Adder saKhan N'Buta would execute every officer.  The delivery of [[Star Colonel]] [[Miguel Riley]]'s decapitated corpse to Mongoose Khan Davis Riley served as notice regarding the state of affairs on Tokasha.  To the body of his dead ''trothkin'' was pinned a short and chilling note.  The note informed Khan Riley that this grisly offering was his ''[[surkairede]]'', and that the actions of his warriors would not be forgotten by the Star Adders.<ref name=FM:CCp111,112/>

The implied threat only seemed to reinforce the Mongoose hate of Clan Star Adder.  The Mongooses would continue their war on the Adders, as well as wars with several other Clans, until their [[Rite of Absorption|Absorption]] by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] in [[2868]].<ref name=ED:GCp7,8,9>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', pp. 7, 8, 9, "Warriors above Politicians"</ref>

Ultimately, as was the fate of all the [[Clan Mongoose]] warriors, their eventual conquerors would reject their legacies, letting their bloodlines die, one and all.  If the Riley genetic legacy was not an [[Aerospace Fighter]] pilot line - many of whose legacies were in fact saved by the [[Clan Cloud Cobra|Cloud Cobras]] later on<ref name=FM:WCp22>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p 22, "Maturation Amid the Renaissance"</ref> - his legacy likely disappeared long ago while in the keeping of the Smoke Jaguars.
