The Scorpion Empire : Plus Ultra

[ArkRoyalRavager]

I'm only starting to get my feet wet so I'm not sure what the outlook of the clan's leadership is going to be. Just seems like GS is in a weird spot. If Alex K was worth following on the basis that his followers would build or rebuild a star league, AND their ancestors then followed Nicky K, then it would seem Clan Wolf's attempt at proclaiming a reborn star league is legitimate, whether or not the Scorpions viewed the second star league as legitimate or not. If they reject Alaric's version on the ground that the Inner Sphere clans are all abjured, then they themselves are abjured.

Of course, people can and do justify all kinds of self-contradictory beliefs, but it seems like the Goliath Scorpions will have to find a way to justify themselves as being the inheritors of the star league's mantle.

As CJC070 put it here,

I vote number #5 because of the Scorpions fascination for Star League era tech and besides the Ghost Bears the only clan faction actually invested in their territory.

I don't think it's about justification or legal inheritance. The Scorpions simply evolved their realm, by chance or by design, into something that surpassed the other Clans in terms of living up to the best ideals of the Star League. They still have a long way to go if they're aiming for true integration and cohesiveness, so let's wait and see what happens.

They don't need to literally proclaim themselves the Star League-in-Exile, but they sure are trying to practice it.
