The loathed Clan Mongoose was [[Trial of Absorption|Absorbed]] by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] in [[2868]]. The Smoke Jaguars claimed all resources and property of the former Clan, as well as its surviving population. But Smoke Jaguar Khan [[Theodore Osis]] completely refused to use any of the captured Mongoose genetic legacies in his Clan's breeding program. Khan Mannix and the Cloud Cobras had been quietly observing the matter for some time, having become aware of the fighting prowess of Clan Mongoose aerospace pilots. The Mongooses had cheated the Cloud Cobras out of a great many aerospace fighters earlier in the Golden Century, so the Cobras likely watched the Mongoose downfall with great interest.<ref name=FM:WCp22/><ref>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 5, "Blood in the Boardroom"</ref> With the Clan sphere returning to business as usual after the end of the Trial, Khan Mannix would strike swiftly in the years after the Trial.
