Introducing: Clan Smoke Jaguar

In summer of 2008, we were proud to inform you that The Living Legends had arrived - the first unit being formed by members of the MWLL forums. Unfortunately, not many units responded to my offer to submit their introductions/hostories/features and have them posted on our frontpage. Well, except for one: Clan Smoke Jaguar, which we are proud to introduce to you today.

The original offer still stands though: if you'd like to see your unit/house/clan being featured here, contact AoP.



*Transmission Begins*


Our clan was decimated after the death of ilKhan Lincoln Osis in the final battle of the Inner Sphere invasion on Strana Mechty. Most thought us annihilated. Most believed we had fallen, and would be lost in the depths of history. In a way they were correct...the old Clan Smoke Jaguar had been destroyed.

Nicholas Kerensky once remarked “My Clans might learn much from this beast. Like us, it came from Nature, but has been improved by human hands.” Nicholas Kerensky was all too correct. The origin of our clan was the wild, and that is where we once again found ourselves. Yet the wilderness was not to be our final resting place.

The few remaining mechwarriors were scattered across what had been the mighty Smoke Jaguar invasion corridor. We were thrown into the wilderness, where for many years we wandered searching for the remnants of our once great clan. At first our numbers were small, BUT as time passed we again grew strong. We are gathered one by one, and together we rebuild our might! We learned from our mistakes, and vowed that we would have our vengeance. Revenge against the Inner Sphere, yes. But also, revenge against those clans that stood by as the full strength of the so-called "Star League" decimated our great clan. Yes…those clans that stood by so many years ago would feel our rekindled wrath.

Our clan was formally founded in the year 2004. A new High Command was established. We chose warriors who were wise, cunning, and worthy of the bloodnames they had earned. We chose Deathscythe Moon as our Khan and Spartacus Kotare as our saKahn. The rest of the High Command soon followed. MacKenrick Kotare was selected to be our Galaxy General. Soon after Shadowhawk Osis assumed the position of Galaxy Commander. The last member of our High Command to be chosen was the Keshik Guard. The assembled High Command knew of many warriors who were worthy of the position but they could not agree on who was to be chosen. The issue was put aside until a battle with Clan White Tigers where our Khan nearly lost his life. His mech was under fire from three Daishi assault mechs in nearly pristine condition. Our Khan’s mech was near critical, and a few more hits would have finished it. It was at this moment that Stallion Osis joined the fray allowing our Khan time to escape. Stallion Osis took down two of the assault mechs and was nearly killed ejecting from his Deimos in a battle with the last Daishi. Our clan regrouped and, with our Khan leading us ,we destroyed every last White Tiger mech on the battlefield.

Our clan knew we had found our Keshik Guard. Stallion Osis recovered from his injuries and was given the position of Keshik Guard for saving our Khan. For a time we thought our High Command was complete until we met the unit known as Free Will Crusaders who wished to join us in our quest. In the past, something like this never would have been considered, but our High command saw that these were warriors who were worthy to fight beside us in battle. Thus Xavier joined our High command as the leader of the FWC cluster.

Our clan regained our lost honor after completion of many successful campaigns. Nonetheless, we continue our vendetta against those who have dishonored us. We also continue to work towards the goal which no other clan has achieved…the possession of Terra and the restoration of the true Star League. We will continue to wage war until we have achieved the dream of Nicholas Kerensky. We refuse to bow down before this sham of a Star League.

Before our presumed decimation our clan would have only accepted trueborn warriors into our ranks, but like many things this changed after we rose again. We saw that even a warrior who was not genetically bred was capable of honorable combat and conduct. Our clan is now guided by three new values: honor, integrity, and attitude. Anyone who believes they have these three key values in their hearts has a chance to join our great clan. If you believe you have what it takes you can find us at the following coordinates:
Home of Clan Smoke Jaguar.

Our clan began with MW4 Vengeance but changed to MW4 Mercenaries, along with MekTek’s MekPaks. We have fought in MWL for the last 3 years. After many years we discovered the MechWarrior Living Legends battle system slated to be released in the near future. We saw the potential this new battle system had for our clan and are awaiting its release. With the MWLL battle system in our hands, the mighty Clan Smoke Jaguar will be unstoppable, and the dream of Nicholas Kerensky will be ours!

Sad thing is all the guys I play with (or will be playing with) won't give this game any attention until its out.

I'd write something up.. but all of our Units were made up.  No back ground at all.. besides being called hackers for 6+ years of Mechwarrior haha

I think you'll find that most people here are not in a "Unit" .. or if they are its pretty much dead.

Well you can't recruit them all I guess.  Glad you enjoyed the introduction.  The beginning is based on cannon battletech however the rest is total fan writing.  I wrote the original version myself.  The first revision was done by our saKhan Spartacus Kotare.  The second revision was done by our Khan Deathscythe Moon.  Other clan members helped as well.

Lol "reformed 2004" its seems the Jaguars have built a time machine and travel back in time to play MWLL with their ancestors.  ;).

Nice intro even though it is kind of intimating and scary in size... (Just like my A+ certification book...)

GL with you clan even though your on my list of mortal enemies(in RP sense) along with CJF and Adder star... (also Lyrans and Cap ellans... Respect them but doesn't mean i dont enjoy blowing them up...)

We have one or two members who are into the RPG side of things - have read all the books, etc. I am aware of the board game/RPG, and all the books, but have never read a single one of them. I like to read too, just don't have the time.

So, if you like that stuff, we have the folks who like it as well. We actually did PL once upon a time, but the game pace and time requirements were more than many of us could afford. 3 or 4 matches a week was killing us.

And if you don't like RPG, that's fine too. We are definitely about real life coming first...and gaming after that.

I have been with Smoke Jaguars for years now, about when they left VL for Mercs...I believe it was at MekPak 2.1 or perhaps 2.1a. We think this game is going to re-invigorate the Mechwarrior universe...and want to be here to help it do just that.

Just FYI, we do have TOEs and TOPs, as well as the occasional bloodnaming. It is going to be an interesting thing to have that in MWLL!  ;D

Hail Clan Warriors of Smoke Jaguar,

Well written and the artwork is truly inspiring.  Clan Hell's Horses looks forward to seeing you in the field, and umm, our crosshairs.

It was very charitable of you to take in the Stravags of the FWC...guess whatever you have to do, you will.
