Brian Cache home of the 331st and the Not-Named-Clan

[schmitt28]

Here we go! A place to discuss all the alien fighting, communist hating, and conspiracy theory of the Minnesota Tribe and Clan Wolverine. Maybe the 331st will reappear one day then!

[HavocTheWarDog]

shhhh dont tell herb about this place....he'll nuke it! ;D

[schmitt28]

If I recall we have a history of nuclear weapons use as well.

[Southern Coyote]

Yes but Herb will actually nuke it.  You'll sign in one day and all you see in place of this thread is a mushroom cloud with "HERB" written in shiny letters beside it.

[Hawkeye Jim]

Not to worry, the Burrocks have already infiltrated and liberated his stockpile. We have our own targets in mind. Looks kind of like a snake....

[schmitt28]

Were there not treaties in place to prevent such abominations?  I think it is the fact we posses so much Star League tech that makes everyone jealous. Haha!

[HavocTheWarDog]

Treaties mean nothing to herb...he'll nuke us till we glow then shoot us in the dark!

[Stormlion1]

It is not Herb we must fear, it is those devilish cats of his. ;)

[schmitt28]

In all seriousness,  I am working on a Minnesota Tribe regiment and want to fill it out with armor and air assets. Any suggestions as to what would fit and go with canon?

[Dread Moores]

Many of the Op: Klondike and 3075 Royal designs would probably be a good place to start.

[Werewolf]

Very much this - and the question: which era? Pre-Exodus or Post-Exodus?

[Stormlion1]

Honestly after the second Exodus from the Clan Homeworlds I'd operate under the assumption the Star League in Exile may number only a few dozen mechs and vehichles at most. Even if all 40 original bloodname holders survived Op Klondike and promoted all their auxileries and were generous in adopting captured warriors I still don't see the Clan reaching more than a regiment. Take into account less than a year between the end of Klondike and Nicky K playing political games and the Wolverines fall, people left behind, fighting against Clan Wolf, possibly losing touch with lost jumpships and warships, and maybe loss of a scouting unit that may be the forerunners of the Ummayyads I'd bet less than a Battalion made up the Minnesota Tribe when it reached the Inner Sphere.

For Tanks I'd go with Von Luckners, and no clue about aircraft.

[schmitt28]

It would be post exodus being the Minnesota Tribe. I will take a look. Any specific chassis in mind?

[Hawkeye Jim]

You might have a Pulverizer or Stag. Also Vulcans and Mercury IIs.

[Stormlion1]

Pulverizer and Stags and Mercury II's were relativly new designs so there may not have been all that many running around. I'd go with Lancelots, Exterminators, Wolverines (both I and II's) and Guillotines, and maybe one of the above mentioned mechs to form a Star. Then again I painted up a Star I like to call up Desert/Woodland Camo (Brown body with Black arms and legs) made up of a Pulverizer, Guillotine, Black Knight, Exterminator, and a Wolverine II, so who am I to recommend forces.  :D

[Hawkeye Jim]

Mercury IIs were an early Wolverine design. They had a lot of Vulcans, that was what the Stag came from. Stags may have been more common, they had already designed the Stag II.

[schmitt28]

Here is what I have:(remember they had to have. Pulverizer's, Mercury II's, & Stag's for Comstar to discover the designs.)

1 Marauder (Khan's Personal)
1 Spartan
1 Lancelot (infamous)
1 Exterminator
1 Wolverine II
2 Mercury II

I need to fill out my medium lance and build a econ/scout lance.  I also wanted the ideas for some air and armor. Then I should be close to a battalion in strength.

[Deadborder]

One of the things I like the most about the WoB: It means a whole new opportunity to kill Wolverines.

If I remember correctly, the Khan after the death of Franklin Hallis on Barbados would have been Trish Ebon and they both piloted a Pulverizer.

[schmitt28]

I read somewhere Khan Sarah McEvedy survived. I believe it was a Battlecorps story, where she watched her husband perish in the final battle as she lifted off in a dropship. Her husband was piloting her Marauder. Anyone else read what I am referencing?

[Hawkeye Jim]

Betrayal of Ideals was the BC story. In it, she survived the nuking of the Snow Raven capitol but was captured by Nikki.

[Stormlion1]

Her final fate is unknown as she had pretty much been ground zero to the nuking and Nicky K had her on life support on his flagship while he chased Khan Hallis and the escaping Wolverines. On Barbados theres a gravestone with her name on it though no sign of a burial and a unknown character some say was her talked to Trish Ebon when she made her way back to that planet to find out what happened to the rest of the fleet.

[monty]

Sarah McEveddy piloted a Guillotine. Her saKhan Dwight Robertson piloted an Archer & a Black Knight. After he died Franklin Hallis took his place piloting a Pulverizer. When McEveddy fell & Hallis became Khan, Trish Ebon became saKhan. She also piloted a Pulverizer having previously piloted a Shadow Hawk.

Betrayal of Ideals described the survivors as being some 2 custers in number but short on aerospace fighters.

[schmitt28]

So I will round out the command lance with a Pulverizer.

[Dark_Falcon]

It is not Herb we must fear, it is those devilish cats of his. ;)

All must tremble before the might of a full Star of Cat Overlords!

[schmitt28]

The theory the 331st founded the Umayid just does  :-\not add up to me. A highly organized and trained military unit would not turn into what the Umayid has become. Also some of the higher tech would have been noticed and survived. We would have seen all the Wolverine designs before the Blake Documents.

[SteveRestless]

There were more lower castes than there were warriors amongst those who evaded the wolf's jaws. its possible that some of the lower castes are behind them

If the diary in the Blake Documents is true then some Wolverines did found the Umayyads (as the Castillians arbitrarily named them) though there's no real information on exactly what that group was like.

Mind you, the same book has Victoria Parrdeau claiming that the Minnesota Tribe incident in the Combine was a ComStar hoax.

[Stormlion1]

Honestly I believe the Umayyads were the last survivors of the Homeworld powers the Clans had beaten a few years earlier, people who escaped and after six years found a new home and attacked and occupied. The theory that they are Wolverines could also be believed but only if they didn't have a single bloodnamed individual in there ranks. At some point a Clan, any Clan would land there and get into a firefight and then test the remains and discover Wolverine DNA and that would be all she wrote for the Umayyads. Then again there could be a hundred diffrent scenarios to explain the Umayyads and even the Minnesota Tribe.

[Hawkeye Jim]

Some of the Wolverine survivors could have gone in another direction from the main body. Some of those that were escaping did not make the rendevous. Several jumpships full of civilians could have gone to where the Umayyads started.
