Sarna News

Offenses and Omens
Clan Star Adder's Khans would react 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 would track the unit responsible to the Mongoose colony world of Tokasha. Once there they would hunt down every warrior from the officers down to the lowliest MechWarriors. Adder saKhan N'Buta would exectue every officer. The delivery of Star Colonel Miguel Riley's decapitated corpse would be Mongoose Khan Davis Riley's notice regarding the state of affairs on Tokasha. To the body of his dead trothkin was pinned a short and chilling note, informing Khan Riley that this was his surkairede, and that the actions of his warriors would not be forgotten by the Star Adders.[1]
Legacy
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 wars with several other Clans - until their Absorption by Clan Smoke Jaguar in 2868.[2]
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 legacy was not an Aerospace Fighter pilot line - many of whose legacies were in fact saved by the Cloud Cobras[3] - his genetic legacy was allowed to die long ago by the Smoke Jaguars.
