At the start of the year 2823 there were 20 Clans. 20 named by the all father, Nicholas Kerensky, the IlKhan. 20 Clans who had stood victorious, only two years earlier, after the liberation of the Pentagon Worlds. By the end of 2824, there would only be 19…
Clan Wolverine was, without doubt, one of the most successful Clans to emerge from Operation KLONDIKE. Having defeated implacable foes such as the Sand Confederacy and the Rasmussen Elite, but even in their time of greatest triumph, the seeds of their annihilation would be sown.

The next pebble was the production of new models of BattleMechs, something that no other Clan had done. The Stag II and the mighty Pulverizer both were armed with new Enhanced PPC’s. With the same range as the SLDF ERPPC using a magnetic constriction pulse to stabilize the particle burst, the new Enhanced PPC was a fearsome weapon… and so the avalanche began…
