Clan Wolf Touman

(Redirected from Wolf Empire Touman)

The Clan Wolf touman is the military arm of Clan Wolf.

Unit Structure[edit]

For most of its history Clan Wolf adhered to the standard Clan military structure, with each Cluster composed of five Trinaries, Binaries and/or Supernovas. Generally one of these five units would be designated as a command unit from which the Star Colonel operated, although some Clusters had instead an additional command Nova or Star, while each Galaxy was commanded by its own Keshik. Generally Trinaries and Binaries were "pure" units consisting of all one Star type, with some notable exceptions such as certain Rogue formations or the use of Support Trinaries consisting of aerospace and artillery support.[1] Clan Wolf was also one of the few to pioneer the use of a mixed unit known as a strategic command Star. This unit combined four Points of either Elementals or 'Mechs with a single Point of fighters. The aerospace support provides valuable reconnaissance and escort services to the rest of the Star. The composition's success has seen a limited adoption of these command Stars by other Clans.[2][3]

One of the more systematic use of mixed Trinaries came from the capture of Star Colonel Vlad Dinour from Clan Goliath Scorpion in 3012. As commander of the Goliath Scorpion's elite Heartvenom Cluster, Vlad Dinour had been responsible for training Wolf's Dragoons into a fighting force the equal of any front-line formation and Clan Wolf wanted to bring in his expertise. He was quickly adopted after being taken as a bondsman and given command of the 4th Striker Cluster with which to experiment. Each Trinary was patterned after the Battle Trinary used by Clan Goliath Scorpion, consisting of a Star each of 'Mechs, Elementals and fighters. While this doctrine was not adopted by the other front-line Clusters, it became the model formation for the second-line units of Epsilon Galaxy.[4]

In the wake of the devastating Refusal War many warriors and machines were lost and the new Khan Vladimir Ward had to undertake some unprecedented actions, including the raising of an entire garrison Galaxy to front-line status and initiating the Harvest Trials. By the early 3060s Khan Ward's efforts had paid off and many units, while still understrength, were in better fighting shape than before. By this time an average Wolf Cluster consisted of a command or Supernova Trinary, a 'Mech Trinary, an Elemental Trinary and either a Binary or Trinary of OmniFighters. The exact organization varied between units, with a common variation being the mixing of 'Mechs with Elementals in a single Trinary, while the Wolves still maintain use of their famous strategic command Stars. While standard 'Mechs still made up the majority of even front-line units' strength, by 3062 many front-line Clusters were expected to have their full complement of OmniMechs thanks to increased production from the Homeworlds.[5]

Naval Assets[edit]

Clan Wolf has lost much of its once impressive roster of WarShips since the Refusal War. Maintenance has been difficult to procure, as it has with many a Clan touman, but the possession of Terra, Titan Yards especially, is likely to help in that regard post-3151.

Uniforms and Rank Insignia[edit]

Field Uniform

Wolf field uniforms sport an olive camouflage pattern, with a half visor built into the helmet.[15]

Dress Uniform

With the dress uniform, it is light olive with a heavy brown trimming across the chest, cuffs, and backing on the cape. Red piping accents the shoulders and legs. A red cape lined in brown falls straight down back and to the hips to add flare to the uniform. Real wolf fur is worn as a part of the uniform for those who hunted down their totem in the wild.[15]

Ceremonial Uniform

The ceremonial uniform consist of leather and synthetic wolf fur trimming with an enameled wolf mask. The uniform is colored in black, white, or gray. Brown, red, gold, or silver is used for warriors with elite status as a wolf fur trimmed or as a replacement to the standard colors of the ceremonial uniform.[15]

Real wolf fur is worn as a part of the uniform for those Bloodnamed warriors who were deemed worthy by the Khan or saKhan who must hunt down their totem in the wild.[15]
