History

Wars of Reaving

March 3070 Clan Steel Viper began targeting Clan Snow Raven Possession across the Clan Homeworlds, ostensibly to remove the "taint of the Inner Sphere. Eager to find a distraction in order to evacuate the Clan Homeworlds in safety, Loremaster Klaus Harper working in concert with Clan Snow Raven's Watch and Outworlds Alliance Intelligence discovered in May 3070 Clan Diamond Shark had begun secretly trading prohibited Clan technology (Undine Battle Armor) with the Federated Suns. Khan Lynn McKenna promptly presented the Watch's findings to the Clan Grand Council, a finding corroborated by Clan Jade Falcon. However, all votes on an appropriate response beyond simply censuring the Diamond Sharks failed. The moved worked for Clan Snow Raven, as Clans Steel Viper, Star Adder, and Cloud Cobra shifted their attention to the Sharks.[12]

Clan Star Adder immediately launched Trials of Possession for Diamond Shark holdings on Barcella. Clan Steel Viper took Diamond Shark holdings on Strato Domingo and Paxon, though their efforts on Babylon met with limited success.[9] The Steel Viper advances prompted the Diamond Sharks to accelerate their evacuation, moving their population to temporary holdings outside the city of Thermopolis.[13]

In late 3070, Clan Wolf traded its holdings on Paxon to Clan Coyote. Clan Coyote received the CWS Provider, Relentless Pursuit, and five Stars of AeroSpace and rest of Clan Wolf's Homeworld]] Possessions in exchange for Omicron Galaxy, ten sibkos of Coyote Warriors from minor Blood Houses (mostly shared with Clan Wolf legacies), and five Stars of JumpShips.[14] These relatively new Clan Coyote colonies were besieged shortly after Clan Wolf used the former Coyote Warriors Omicron Galaxy to raid and steal the genetic legacies of Nicholas Kerensky, Andery Kerensky, and Jennifer Winson, on 3 December 3071.[13]

In response, Clans Star Adder, Goliath Scorpion, Blood Spirit, and Fire Mandrill launched punitive Trials of Possession against Clan Coyote's former Wolf colonies of Hoard, Glory, and Paxon. Clan Blood Spirit landed the Scarlet Guards on 20 December, and immediately defeated half of the 49th Battle Cluster in the Susquehanna River Valley.[13]
