These are my Clan 'Mechs, the primary opposition to the Inner Sphere. The Clans were created when, after the Star League fell, General Alexander Kerensky took the remains of the Star League Defense Force (SLDF) and disappeared into uncharted space in a movement known as the Exodus. The society he and his descendants created placed pride in combat skills and eugenic breeding as well as a goal: To return to the savage Inner Sphere and create a new Star League!
Clan forces are better equipped than their Inner Sphere counterparts. Their technology is lighter, stronger, faster, and more efficient than the Inner Sphere's. However, these advancements come at the price of mass-production. Clan commanders can expect to be outnumbered. The Clans are so proud of their technology (some would say overly so) that their tactics are restricted by codes of honor and they can become headstrong. Inner Sphere commanders are expected to take advantage of these traits.
