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.[14]
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.[11]
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.[10] For the next year, Clan Wolf holdings on Paxon were transferred to Clan Coyote, while Diamond Shark holdings were intermittently harassed by Clan Steel Viper, and all Clans on planet were beset by Bandit Caste rebels under the command of Commodus Van Houten. However, Clan Coyote's new colonies faced renewed, determined assaults 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.[11]
In response to Clan Wolf's audacious theft, 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. In an attempt to continue to flank the outmaneuvered Coyote forces, the Scarlet Guards trampled through the civilian evacuation encampment outside Thermopolis, killing over 600. This prompted Clan Diamond Shark to engage the Scarlet Guards with the 83rd Combined Strike Cluster), and leaving the evacuees undefended. Star Colonel Daniel Levien quickly realized his opportunity and seized the undefended Shark property.[11]
With the Trial quickly becoming more complicated, the previously uninvolved Diamond Sharks withdrew to Thermopolis and armed all former Warriors now in the city's lower caste, and redeployed the stationed DropShips from evacuation to engage the Blood Spirits. As the fighting between the Sharks and Spirits in the city intensified, the Coyotes continued their repair and re-armament efforts, until a binary from the Shark's 83rd slipped through the Coyote cordon and killed the 49th Command Star. In retaliation, the remnants of the 49th also entered Thermopolis. Facing forces from two Clans, Star Colonel Megan Clarke pulled the remnants of the 83rd Combined Strike into best defensive positions possible.[11]
After two more days, the Blood Spirit forces were reduced to a Binary of ProtoMechs, and the exhausted Diamond Sharks attempted to evacuate of whatever was ready to depart. Seeing two Stars of DropShips beginning to lift off, the Scarlet Guards Star Colonel Stok Campbell ordered Blood Spirit AeroSpace Forces to intercept, believing the DropShips were laden with isorla. Two vessels, the CDS Orson and Uther were destroyed, killing 1,100 more civilians.[11]
As the last of the Diamond Shark DropShips lifted off, Levien's 49th Battle finished off the last of Clan Diamond Shark's 83rd Combined Strike Cluster, then turned their guns on the retreating Scarlet Guard. The Scarlet Guard was reduced to a single Star of ProtoMechs. Levien then quietly ordered Clan Coyote's own evacuation, departing with a Star and a half of OmniMechs and Elementals, leaving Paxon defenseless. Clan Coyote would abandon several more of its colonies in the coming years.[11][15]
