Clan MacFeargus...Scavengers, thieves, gypsies, pirates, scoundrels, con-men, and carrion crows. All these things and more, are names the Clan has been called over the years it has roamed the periphery and outer rims of the Inner Sphere.

Comprised primarily of members of the MacFeargus family, their spouses, and battlefield orphans picked up on their travels, the Clan MacFeargus follow conflicts like ravens seek a fresh battlefield. In times of war, the Clan scavenges the detritus of war. Fallen mechs, shattered Combat vehicles, discarded equipment are all gathered up, sometimes even before the bullets stop flying. The Clan makes no distinctions regarding the source of their loot, even searching through abandoned civilian buildings and homes for items and supplies with which to make their living.

The items recovered, are then gathered together, polished up a bit, then sold to whoever has the cash to meet the asking price. The Clan has been known in the past, to sell equipment and supplies to both sides of a conflict within a period of days. Occasionally, the Clan will manage to piece together a working combat vehicle or mech, in which case, the Clan may decide to retain the unit for their own use, but most often it is sold as well.

In less active times, the Clan turns to whatever holds the most profit potential. Past moneymaking endeavors have included taking a short term mercenary garrison contract, hiring the Clans technicians out on a per diem basis to mercenary units in need, and bounty hunting. Rumors have also dogged the Clan regarding suspected Pirate raids and betrayals, but to this day, no formal charges have been filed, nor has any substantive evidence been produced.

The Clan's most recent choice of employment has many outside observers scratching their heads. Leaving their usual Periphery haunts, the Clan MacFeargus is apparently attempting to “Go legit”...or at least give that impression. After registering with the DMM, the Clan has accepted a Garrison contract for a mid-sized manufacturing concern in the Lyran Commonwealth. Observers familiar with the Clan suspect a scam of some sort is in the offing, but others point to the generous cross-training offered to the Clan's technicians as part of the contract, and feel that the benefits to the Clan will keep them honest...at least in the short term.

Equipped with a mix of older mechs and pieced together Battlefield salvage, the Clan prefers to avoid pitched battles if at all possible, favoring ambush and deception as their stock in trade. Combat vehicles are also acquired primarily through salvage operation, but also include some discount purchased items and a few like the pair of Main Gauche light tanks that the Clan refuses to discuss the origin of.
