Harvest Trial (tradition)

Not to be confused with the Harvest Trials which was created by Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon to weaken the Home Clan Touman and replenish their strength after the Refusal War.

A Harvest Trial is a certain trial that allows certain units to be added into another clan unit. It serves as a mini hybrid between a Trial of Possession and Trial of Absorption.

History

Notable Units

6th Jaguar Dragoons

Clan Wolf Omega Galaxy

After the Refusal War and reformation of the reborn Clan Wolf under Khan Vladimir Ward, the new Khan made great strides to remove the Warden traditions and trapping of the original Clan Wolf under the Crusader stance. Given Khan Ward's disdain of anything or anyone Warden, he would group them in a place of humiliation. Clan Hell's Horses (Omega Galaxy) was no exception to this. A second-line Galaxy who was looked downed upon by their Crusader comrade because of their views, the warriors were consigned to demeaning tasks like pirate hunting bandits link with rumors of being Not-Named Clan survivors. Although they hated both their own Khan and brethren, there was nothing they could do as members of Omega Galaxy had fight for the clan the despised. However, their chance at salvation would come in the form of Clan Hell's Horses. Sensing an opportunity to hurt Clan Wolf and gain a new galaxy at the same time, Horse Khan James Cobb would declare a harvest trial on the Wolf Warrior. While on the other side of the coin, Omega Galaxy saw this as a way to honorable defect from their former clan after their abuse. Although Omega Galaxy was enticed by the idea, they would fight hard for their parent clan, being absorbed in the process.

Rasalhague Kungsarme

After Clan Ghost Bear conquered the remaining territory of the Free Rasalhague Republic, the Ghost Bears chose to act as a partner rather than a conqueror. As a result, the Rasalhauge Republic realm would be renamed into the Ghost Bear Dominion integrating the two cultures into one. One type of integration that the Ghost Bears did was a Harvest Trial in the form of a Trial of Position to allow Rasalhagian natives and Kungsarme units into the ranks of the Ghost Bear Touman. This resulted in the full integration between the Clan Ghost Bear Touman and the Kungsarme as they formed to become the Rasalhague Dominion.

Clan Ice Hellion Rememants

Following the defeat and split of Clan Ice Hellion after the failed Operation Ice Storm, Connor Rood's half willingly accepted Absorption into Clan Goliath Scorpion. As saKhan of the Escorpion Imperio he consolidated his survivors into Beta Galaxy, otherwise known as Hellion Galaxy. As Rood gained influence among his clan, he searched for survivors of his former clan and challenged them to a Harvest trial. While most joined the Imperio, other did not, being put down as a result. Nevertheless, SaKhan Rood was successful in reintegrating his former brethren back into the Clan fold.[1]
