Doe the clan have them also or just the IS? As cant find anything in MM...
There are a few pulled out of caches on Strana Mechty in Icons of War, but none to my knowledge in active use. In other words, if a Clan commander really needs one, it's not hard to get one, but most Clanners prefer a "lead from the front" style that's a bit antithetical to the vehicle's existence. That being said, as in IoW, it has its utilities outside of being somewhere for commanders to watch their subordinates fight and issue orders.

Probably, though since they never appear in the lore they may just not use them. Then again, is there any TRO that includes Clan vehicles??

Prominently in TRO: 3060.

Lore-wise, it's unlikely up to the Republic era.  Commanders are typically in the field and in the action.  If they're in a command center, it would likely be in a DropShip rather than a conventional vehicle.  There aren't any Clan-tech mobile HQs that I know of, but they still field a number of conventional vehicles of purely IS technology especially in support roles.

Edit: perhaps this should be split off into another thread so it doesn't derail the "Coming soon" purpose of this thread?

Quirks also work as advertised for initiative.

Very nice. Will the same be applicable to CI with Light/Heavy Mortar support weapons?

Cool... not sure how compatible they are with BA, but sounds like a good way to go!  :thumbsup:
