The warrior Cabals and Filtvelt

[solmanian]

Traditionally, the outback was the breeding grounds for the Davion warrior cabals. A good chunk of that area seceded to form the Filtvelt Coalition. Did the Cabals had any hand with the secession? If not, did they lend their might to the coalition, seeing it as fulfillment of their desires to get out from under the Davion thumb, or did they remain in the Periphery March, biding their time in their long term strive to unseat the Davions and take over the Suns?

My take is Filtvelt has been pretty much cabal free.

I would say that while the MechWarrior Cabals themselves likely weren't directly involved, members of the MechWarrior Cabals were likely involved especially  if their holdings fell within the borders of Filvelt Coalition.  The only reason that the Cabals are still around is because of support provided by nobles and other members who are financially well-off.  As long as the Cabals doesn't directly threaten the Filvelt Coalition, the Coalition will probably leave them alone so the Cabals may be using the Filtvelt Coalition as a sort of safe haven.

There was a thread a while back (maybe even on a previous iteration of the forums) that made a pretty convincing argument for Cabal involvement, IIRC.  Let me see if I can dig it up.
