I am enjoying this, will there be more stories soon? :)

[wolfcannon]

yes

Jan 2959

   After reveling the lost Naval Cache to the Wolves, we staged a trial for the Naval Cache, two stars (Wolves) vs one star (Wolverines).   we won barely.   1 aero fighter badly mauled and had to be scrapped, survived, 3 pilots dead.   Wolf's suffered 4 dead, 5 destroyed, 5 heavily damaged aerofighters.   We claimed all surviving wrecks as isorla, and 6 bondmen. 

   Our salvage crews surveyed the ships and found the 2 Tramps, Avatar and Vincent needed minor maintenance to return to duty.  The Carson and Naga required intensive overhauls of 14 months to return to active duty, The Lola and Congress would require years of dock time to repair.   

   1 line each of our O series were dedicated to our allies the Spirits and Mandrills.    Clan Goliath Scorpion began to take notice of the new Omni's.

good to see that you are still updating.   

[wolfcannon]

sadly rl keeps rearing its head and fouling up my plans.

May 2959

   Clan Goliath Scorpion staged trials for the O series Omnimechs we were producing, 3 trials were held on Circe with 1 a draw, 2 a loss to the Scorpions.   Soon after Clan Cloud Cobra sought the designs for themselves.    We opened trade talks with the Cobras and was able to make a satisfactory exchange of materials for the designs.   We sought out the Ravens to collaborate on rebuilding the Congress and Lola, to the Lola IV and Congress II.

May 2959

   Since the attack the 4 Grimore's laid up waiting for repairs.   after reviewing all the data of the damaged ships, it was decided to scrap two of the worst damaged ships to repair the two "least" damaged.   

   The Ravens reluctantly agree to help finance the rebuilds of the two ships.    Designs begin to be drawn as how to refit and rebuild these vessels.   Another 5% of Canton was lost to the Cloud Cobras, and to the Goliath Scorpions in trials for trade center, Mech plants and resource storage.

so why would the Ravens pay to repair those two ships?

[Wrangler]

so why would the Ravens pay to repair those two ships?

Their ship otakus ;)

Seriously, those are ships aren't easily built or obtained. They could repair them and turn them around for more resources.

[wolfcannon]

1.   the ravens saw an opportunity to flex their ship building skills and to boost their own fleet.
2.   their contribution was never revealed to its true extent.  most of the materials needed were provided by the wolverines, the expertise on
rebuilding was the Ravens. to be reveled soon.

April 2960

  Khan Richard Cameron was found dead in his quarters from a Heart Attack.   he passed quickly and without suffering.  His 10 yrs as Khan guided Clan Wolverine to a high point of progress.
  Trials were held to determine the Wolverines new leaders.  A ristar roared through the trials and claimed the Khanship.  Sasha McEvedy.  after entering her new quarters she was handed a disk by her aide and was told to listen to it.   

[Wrangler]

It turned out to be smooth Jazz to calm her nerves after along series of trials.

[wolfcannon]

as Sasha watched the prepared disk of the former Khan explain the true history of Clan Wolverine, its almost destruction and the slow deliberate rebirth.  Richard extoled her to stay the path and keep the Wolverine's strength hidden and consoled restraint and patience.

Hmm interesting

March 2960

   Adolph Cameron watched as the nova disintegrated under his guns, the cockpit escape pod rocketing skyward.   "That warrior will do well if he is not hurt to badly." he thought to himself.   
With the defeat of the Nova he was the only warrior on the field left standing,   the Loremaster declaring him the next SaKhan.

   After a few days settling into the office, Khan McEvedy knocked on the door "Mind if i come in?" she asked "Yes Khan McEvedy, A pleasure to see you."

[wolfcannon]

She laid the disk in front of him "I think you need to see this!" Adolph took the disc and inserted into the data player.     After an hour he looked at his Khan "Is this for real?"  she nodded "Every Word!"
his eyes widened "We could start a war with certain Clans, Clan we can defeat, but we would wake a hornest nest!" replied Adolph. 

[wolfcannon]

for long hours they talked about how to implement the long term plans laid out by past Khans.  Both Khans called it a night around 10 pm and Khan McEvedy went to her quarters and called up exactly how many former widowmaker warriors were in uniform.

Bloodnamed: 100
non bloodnamed: 157
approximately 300 children in sibko ranging from 1yr old to 17 yr old

she looked at how many freeborns were under uniform (400)

Khan McEvedy saved this information and retired to bed.

nice to see you filling out your order of battle

[wolfcannon]

thank you

[wolfcannon]

The next 10 years We Wolverines pulled back to unto themselves and began secretly stockpiling a reserve.   A extra 4 Grimore Corvettes were built in the 10 yrs also and set aside.  Khan McEvedy steered her Clan on a low profile course.   


Again calling upon the past she tasked 4 groups of Jumpships to begin to scout past fields of battle for salvage and lost caches.   for 8 yrs the scout groups searched the Pentagon outer systems and found a multitude of targets.  The Newgrane MBY-1W is tasked with going and doing what it can to round up the targets. 

The year is now 2970

most of 2970 to 2990 is spent being quiet, we staged no major trials, instead we Wolverines spent it continuing to build our reserves, stashing Mech, Fighters, Armor and Battle Armor, selling/trading surplus.   

[cawest]

I would suggest working on small production facilities. its a lot of work for very little output but they are easily hidden.

A Wolverine Scout jumpship jumped in and launched the Mule Dropship.   Landing 5 days later, Khan McEvedy slowly descended down the ramp, as she reached the ferrocrete pad, she asked to be taken the Khan of Clan Snow Raven.   Liam Howell looked at the Wolverine Khan "What do i owe the company of a Wolverine Khan?" disrespecting her, "I am here because i am here to offer a suirka, yes its long overdue, but i am here to give a long over due gift.   i have 12 warships Clan Wolverine wishes to gift Clan Snow Raven!"  Khan Liam spewed out his coffee and promptly dropped his cup, shattering it.

[wolfcannon]

1 SLS Vanguard McKenna class
1 SLS Ohio Texas class
3 SLS Galactic, SLS Matabele, SLS Ottawa York Class
1 SLS Pillars of Hercules Quixote class
4 SLS Chatham, SLS Sir Percivale,SLS Sir Tristran, SLS Billingsgate Newgranges class
1 SLS Starhound Naga class
1 SLS Odin Essex class

Handing the shocked Snow Raven Khan a noteputer "Here is the list of the ships.  all are jump capable, though several are not sealed for crews.   The are at the Circe Naval Cache awaiting to be
picked up at your Clan's convience." Stiffly Khan McEvedy got up "I will take my leave and return to our Capitol.   I do hope this will settle any unfinished grievences our Clans may have."  Khan Liam looked at the noteputer silently taking in the enormity of what he was seeing "Yes Khan McEvedy, this will more than cove any ill feelings had between our Clans, I wish you safe travels!"

August 2990
York
1300 local time

A Wolverine Scout jumpship jumped in and launched the Mule Dropship.   Landing 5 days later, SaKhan Adolph slowly descended down the ramp, as he reached the ferrocrete pad, he asked to be taken the Khan of Clan Blood Spirit.   Several hours later Khan Fara Church looked at the Wolverine Khan "What is the matter you wish to discuss SaKhan?", "I am here because i am here to offer a gift.   we know you traded many warships for 'Mechs years ago and that your clan is lacking in sufficiant Ship defence. Clan Wolverine has discovered many wrecks over the years and repaired them as best we could.   We offer you those ships, now, out of friendship, alliance and kindred"  Khan Church eyed SaKhan Adolph "What is the catch?  What does the Wolverine want in return?" She asked, suspicion high in her voice "We ask nothing in return, we are friends, we are allies.  Our Clans have worked together well in the past, and we can not keep these ships, we have no room for them in our cache." replied Adolph "Here is the list of ships."  handing her a noteputer

14 JumpShips
25 Dropships
1 SLS Paris McKenna
4 SLS Asgard, SLS Freya, SLS Thor, SLS Strider York
1 SLS Ivanhoe Sovetskii
1 SLS Vixen Essex
2 SLS Islington, SLS Achates Vincent
1 SLS Buffalo Newgrange

[cawest]

that is a heck of a lot of ships.  I would have kept half of the Newgranges class ships.  work a deal to have them put back in operation.  then again I wonder what they kept. 

[wolfcannon]

here is the logic to give the Ravens: They have One of the Largest fleets in clan space, the Falcons and Wolves at this time can rival them and the Nova Cats, Jaguars and Bears are no slouches either.  But the Ravens are the Aerospace niche holders.  So how to impress them and make them receptive to a future favor, drop 4 Newgranges on their laps.

Blood Spirits:  They are our allies, and 1 of 2 Clans the Wolverines can actually call friend.  help them by gifting a Newgrange.
