About the clan faction logo ingame
« on: December 31, 2009, 04:47:13 AM »
Isn't the current clan logo the logo of the star league....the same star league that was resurrected to destroy the clans? :o

The Clans "are" the original Star League Defense forces Kerensky left the Inner Sphere with - which then separated in to the Clans.  What Prince Davion created along with the 3050 era Inner Sphere houses and the Wolf's in exile became the "new" Star League (confusing I know) to defend against the invading Clans which were the "old" Star Leaque.

;D

Battletech as a universe has one of the best back story and documented histories (Novels, House Guide Books, Web and Fan Materials, etc) of any game or genre I know of, especially one which has its roots in a table top game.  Its not just the 4 computer games called Mechwarrior.  Some of us have 20+ years of playing Battletech dating back to minitatures and early iterations of Battletech online games I remember paying something like $3 bucks an hour on GEnie to play...anyone remember that service and their Kesmai Multiplayer Battletech Inner Sphere House game which had ground breaking EGA graphics??

Good stuff.

I could be mistaken but is that not the symbol of Clan Wolverine, in other words the Clan whose name is not to be spoken within the Clans?

Anyways, I like that symbol. It would be unfair to depict only one clan to represent all the clans, this way it does represent them all equally from where they originated.

correct! -gives out the bonus points-

Also the logo of the clan i was a member of back during the days of Mech Commander leagues haha

But i agree on your second point, If anything should represent them it would be the pentagram worlds (the 5 original clan home worlds out beyond the boarders of the Inner Sphere, granted the symbol representing the IS is the steiner fist right now, so i suppose the symbol that represents the factions could be Dependant on the map?

I'd go for a generic 'Mech/Aero icon as it is beneath the IS/CL logo. That way no direct affiliation can be drawn.

Why not just give the star league logo to both sides, then we can have them battle out to whom it really belongs, old league or new  ;D

Back when the clans were recently formed, there was a treaty, any of the weapons caches that general Kerensky had hidden along his path (also holding the secrets to manufacturing the technology) would be shared equaly among the clans to strengthen them all. Well, Clan Wolverine found a LARGE cashe, the largest to date but they said no, we are not going to share this, this will make us the strongest among the clans.

Well, the other clans didnt like that so much, so they declared a Trial of Annihilation against Clan Wolverine, they supposedly wiped them out to the man (thus the trial, you dont let anything remain) and they were striked from almost all clan history.

Later on when the Inner Sphere (the star league reformed more accurately) heard this story, they declared a trial of annihilation against the Smoke Jaguar for what they did on Edo (leveled the city from orbit, strictly against the inner sphere rules of war and abhorred as wasteful by the clans)

You forgot to mention that they bombarded Clan Snow Raven with nukes, effecticely leveling their capital and destroying their genetic archive.
