Really? The only major setbacks the Crusader Wolves got in that period were the Hell's Horses exacting revenge for the 3064 shenanigans and perhaps them loosing a few worlds to the Ghost Bears in the same year. And don't mention the Jihad because the Jihad hit nearly all factions equally. Heck the Wolves somehow managed to keep the Horses from advancing further despite them having lost a huge chunk of their industry and also allegedly having nearly depleted all their storages at one point trying to stop the Horses
3058 half the Invasion Wolf Clan, admittedly mostly second & garrison level troops, fell into a black hole.
The Wolves lost not just the worlds the Horses under Malavi Fletcher were garrisoning, but Star Colonel Dirk Radick fell for a ploy causing the Crusader Wolves to lose MORE Rasalhague world. Including one that just had a factory come online for IIRC Locust IIC production.
FMU set 3067 and TPTB forgot about the Crusader Wolves flagship. It had to be errata'd in.
A whole galaxy was absorbed into the Horses, not that Vlad really cared too much the Wardens were removed from his Clan except that whole half the touman disappearing in '58 & calling Harvest Trials. Then after the touman takes a beat down, Delta is "gifted" to the Republic further stripping troops from their pre-Jihad shortage.
A mech that was held in almost as much esteem as the Founder's Bloodname, the Orion IIC, some how was at least 2 (unless Tal Sender's was returned to stock from Burton's experimentation) let go after the Jihad to the Republic b/c IMO fact checking failures.
All the other Clans in the IS were left with OmniMech factory production after the Jihad- Jade Falcons, Ghost Bears, Nova Cats, and Warden Wolves. The SharkFoxes had Twycross but built their production, and I am not sure when the Horses ended up with their Omni factories after their move but they did it on worlds the Crusaders had mostly abandoned. Same with Ravens, not sure when they started producing Omnis. Heck- the Falcons (Butler), Bears (Alshain), Ravens (Quatre Belle), SharkFoxes (Chainlaine & more), Warden Wolves (Arc Royal), and maybe the Cats had the facilities to service their surviving warships & jumpships.
See, I do not see Alaric as a villain in Bonfire for a simple reason- I do not see any of the leaders in BT really as villains, even if they could be considered "black hats." For all that Daoshen is nuttier than a fruitcake, he is a FUNCTIONAL fruitcake that- and I really appreciated this in his appearances on Terra & after, the author understood the idea of that the absolute monarch of a state IS the embodiment of the state- in the course of normal morality takes actions that would be immoral. But it does not apply to a monarch, which the Khans immaterial of the name are de jure.
