Blood Spirit (2)
Arcadia (22%)
York (90%) *
   Territorially, the Blood Spirits have been among the smallest Clans never holding more than five worlds throughout their combined history. In the early 2830s the Spirits were forced off Albion and Homer thanks to the malevolent efforts of Burrock and Mongoose. During the mid 2800s the Spirits briefly attempted to expand its holding by colonizing Foster. This mineral rich enclave was raided incessantly by the Burrocks resulting in its exchange for OmniMech technology with Kindraa Smythe-Jewel. Since then this time the Spirits territories on York (90%) and Arcadia (22%) have remained relatively static. While they are reclusive at this point in their history they have not taken up the extreme isolation that followed the Absorption War.

Burrock (4)
Dagda (24%)
Albion (100%) *
Hoard (35%)
Paxon (0%) Krakau
Priori (24%)
   In 2821 they liberated Dagda (24%) as part of Operation Klondike along with Fire Mandrill, Goliath Scorpion, and Widowmaker. In the early 2830s the Burrock’s drove the hated Blood Spirits from Albion (100%) eventually establishing exclusive control over this planet and making it their capital. During the Golden Century they colonized successful enclaves on Priori (24%) and Hoard (35%) remaining on the offensive. Aside from these four earthward possessions the Clan enjoys a significant presence in the Paxon (0%) system. This extra solar holding along with the Tanite (Alexandria, Tanis, and Stacha) Agreement gives the Clan material abundance.

Cloud Cobra (3 + 3 Tanite)
Babylon (26%)
Brim (30%)
Homer (80%) *
   Liberating Babylon (26%) together with Coyote, Diamond Shark, and Ice Hellion earned the Cobra’s one of their first territorial enclaves. Possession of Brim (30%) was apparently split with Nova Cat early in Clan history. In 2839 the Cloud Cobra’s established a thriving colony world named Zara which would come under attack by the Jade Falcons in 2850. Khan Homer Telinov was valiantly killed during defense of planet but his grateful Clan would rename the planet in his honor. Homer (80%) has since become the Clan’s capital which they guard jealously against any interlopers. In 2965 the Cobras discovered the Tanite Worlds and quickly set about bringing them into the fold. While Tanis (100%), Alexandria (100%), and Stacha (100%) all fell to the Clan resistance remains a constant problem. In order to help garrison these worlds the Cobras contracted the Burrocks for additional forces in exchange for resources.

Coyote (6)
Babylon (27%)
Tamaron (100%) *
Delios (36%)
Foster (40%)
Londerholm (24%)
New Kent (19%)

The Clan experienced unparalleled growth during the Golden Century establishing almost a dozen colonies in the Kerensky Cluster.
The sizable Coyote enclaves on Homer and Brim were lost in the mid-2950s during the beginning of the Cloud Cobra feud. 
The Clan was forcibly ejected from its enclaves on Marshall and then again on Hoard in the early 3000s.
In 2994 the Coyotes were pushed from Priori by the Star Adders and slightly more than fifty years later lost Albion to Burrock.

Well as you can see my clan holdings list needs some work but it gives you a good idea of the homeworld breakdown at this time.

Aerospace is always second place to the BattleMech. With the death of the Mongoose Clan only Cloud Cobra remains as a truly aerospace Clan. Snow Raven is more naval.

The Clans are generally a MechWarrior dominated society with Aerospace Pilots and Elementals rounding things out. There are exceptions of course like Hell's Horses who value conventional forces and the Cobras and Ravens as we discussed. In fact one of the things about the Smoke Jaguars and even Wolves if you look at their detailed Toumans (Wolf Clan SB and Invading Clans) is the high amount of Mechs (typical 60 per cluster) to fighters and elementals. Clans like Jade Falcon which follow standard organizational model (typical 45 per cluster) have more fighters and elementals.

Looking at the corrections I haven't completed for Star Adder (Priori) and Smoke Jaguar (Foster) territories I would have to split respectively Burrock (Priori) and Ice Hellion (Foster) holdings evenly in 3052. This makes sense as Star Adder and Burrock undertook joint colonization efforts during the Golden Century (see FM CC) and Smoke Jaguar seized half of the Hellion's hold on Foster when they took the Arctic Cheetah (Hankyu) factory. So Priori (24%) would be under the Burrock and Star Adder holdings while Foster (15%) would be under Ice Hellion and Smoke Jaguar possession. I will make the corrections if there are no objections?

Bradshaw if you are bored at work today could you make up a spreadsheet as I wanted to replicate the Political Balance Tables seen in the Clans – Warriors of Kerensky and the Wars of Reaving which show the territorial breakdown of the Homeworlds. Unfortunately we do not have one for the early 3050s. Canon examples of the Political Balance Table can be found in the following locations;

The Clans – Warriors of Kerensky / page 113 (3062)
Wars of Reaving / page 228 (3067), 248 (3075), 249 (3085)

Who has got it better than you bud?!

Enjoy your weekend off!!

What I was looking for was something like this Bradshaw

Wolf by far is the dominant clan in worlds, not surprised they took them down a notch in canon after this.

1.30      Blood Spirit
2.00      Burrock
4.06      Cloud Cobra
1.86      Coyote
7.76      Diamond Shark
1.93      Fire Mandrill
43.54   Ghost Bear
1.68      Goliath Scorpion
2.16      Hell's Horses
2.44      Ice Hellion
57.26   Jade Falcon
19.25   Nova Cat
40.71   Smoke Jaguar
2.36      Snow Raven
2.27      Star Adder
14.96   Steel Viper
94.46   Wolf

Exactly 300 worlds is my calculations
