Topic: Clan Ghost Bear Touman: Am I Missing any canon units? (Read 1386 times)

I am putting together a list of all Clan Ghost Bear assets that existed before Operation Revial was launched . . . this is what I've got so far:

Clan Command: The Ourse Keshik (Supernova Trinary)

Alpha Galaxy (The Golden Bears): The Silveroot Keshik (Supernova Trinary)
Beta Galaxy (The Night Howlers): The Shrill Keshik (Supernova Trinary)

Omega Galaxy (The Raging Bear): Tseng's Keshik (Supernova Trinary)
Zeta Galaxy (The Claws of the Ghost): The Claw Keshik (Supernova Trinary)

Theta Galaxy
Kappa Galaxy
Xi Galaxy

Sigma Galaxy
Tau Galaxy

1st Bear Guards (The Rage)
3rd Bear Guards (The ilKhan's Shield)
5th Bear Guards (Arctic Thunder)
7th Bear Guards (Claws of Glory)
304th Assault Cluster (The Howling Bears)
332nd Assault Cluster (The Iowa Blacklancers)
357th Assault Cluster (The Cave Bears)
20th Attack Cluster (Polar Bear)**
14th Battle Cluster (The Maulers)
18th Battle Cluster (Fire with Fire)

243rd Battle Cluster (Apollo's Chariot)
283rd Battle Cluster (Ursine Inferno)
297th Battle Cluster (The Burnout Brigade)
300th Battle Cluster (Roaring Phoenix)
12th Bear Chevaliers (The Wendigos)
8th Bear Cuirassiers (The Blinding Drive)
10th Bear Cuirassiers (Tundra Roughriders)
1st Bear Regulars
2nd Bear Regulars
3rd Bear Regulars
4th Bear Regulars
5th Bear Regulars
6th Bear Regulars
7th Bear Regulars
1st Claw
2nd Claw
3rd Claw

3rd Striker Cluster (The Ursine Howl)
50th Striker Cluster (The Black Bears)
68th Striker Cluster (The Walking Panzers)
115th Striker Cluster (The Rolling Wave)
139th Striker Cluster (The Sphere Hunters)
140th Striker Cluster (Death from Above)
5th Phalanx
7th Phalanx
10th Phalanx
13th Phalanx
21st Phalanx
9th Provisional Garrison Cluster
10th Provisional Garrison Cluster
11th Provisional Garrison Cluster
12th Provisional Garrison Cluster
14th Provisional Garrison Cluster
17th Provisional Garrison Cluster
18th Provisional Garrison Cluster
23rd Provisional Garrison Cluster
29th Provisional Garrison Cluster
30th Provisional Garrison Cluster
33rd Provisional Garrison Cluster
37th Provisional Garrison Cluster
42nd Provisional Garrison Cluster
54th Provisional Garrison Cluster
55th Provisional Garrison Cluster
56th Provisional Garrison Cluster
63rd Provisional Garrison Cluster
69th Provisional Garrison Cluster

*In canon, Zeta Galaxy did not have a Galaxy Command Supernova Trinary. However, every other NAMED Galaxy did so. So I added a Keshik.

**Yes, I know that the 20th is the 'Polar Bear Attack' unit and carries the nickname of 'The Chilled Death'. But really, it works better this way and allows me to use that nickname for the 48th Battle Cluster, which was unknown.

Totals:

Galaxies: 13 (6 named and 7 second-line/garrison)

Clusters: 59 (4 Bear Guards, 3 Assault, 1 Attack, 8 Battle, 1 Bear Chevaliers, 2 Bear Cuirassiers, 7 Bear Regulars, 4 Claws, 6 Striker, 5 Phalanx, & 18 PGC). Basically 29 front-line Clusters and 30 second-line/garrison (Bear Regulars, Phalanx, PGC).

Okay . . . so did I miss any? And yes, I realize that the 48th Battle was destroyed in canon JUST prior to the Go Vote on Revival and the 300th Battle was formed from the survivors (and new sibkin). Let's assume that the 48th was not disbanded but the 300th was still formed in 3048/3049.

Any that I missed?

The 3050 toumans of the Clans are largely a topic of conjecture I'm afraid. Smoke Jaguar being the biggest mess to sort out. Why Coyote voted in favor of the invasion is another mystery I'd love to see addressed. There is this line from the Invading Clans Sourcebook pg 18 that suggests that your in the right neighborhood.

Quote

Clan Ghost Bear made an initial bid of twelve full OmniMech Galaxies with appropriate Elemental and aerospace support.

Now granted its the OmniMech part is an area but that is a near commitment of their full touman to accomplish the task put forward. They would retain one Galaxy in the homeworlds of whose breakdown I'd love to see and was there a truce ever established or a reason given that the Home Clans never challenged for these territories??

Yeah, the Jaguars are a royal mess. Here is what I've been able to glean from canon (and Sarna.net):

Beta Galaxy (The Mistweavers): The Swath Keshik

Epsilon Galaxy (The Teeth of Justice): Dark Prowlers Keshik
Tau Galaxy (The Huntress Galaxy): ??
Omega Galaxy (The Black Cats): ??
?? Galaxy (The Iron Guard): ??
?? Galaxy (The Watchmen): ??

151st Garrison Cluster

189th Garrison Cluster

Totals:

Galaxies: 12 (8 named; 4 unnamed)

Clusters: 65 (2 Jaguar Guards, 1 Aggressor, 5 Assault, 2 Attack, 6 Battle, 1 Jaguar Grenadiers, 2 Jaguar Cavaliers, 3 Jaguar Combat, 5 Jaguar Dragoons, 11 Jaguar Regulars, 5 Striker, 1 Freebirth, 4 Solahma, and 17 Garrison)

We seem to be missing a few Galaxies . . . unless the Jaguars used more than five Clusters per Galaxy, which I don't have ANY evidence for. And the hodge-podge of differing Cluster types just boggles the mind. Still, just using references from canon, that gives the Jags more strength than even the Ghost Bears above.

Which is something.

To your second point, I think it was said (in Invading Clans, maybe?) that the ilKhan (Showers) forbade Trials against the holdings of the Invading Clans during Revival. I know I read that somewhere . . . I think. LOL

Well the Jaguars did field an impressive touman which I surmise was supported in large part by the limited warfare of Clan society. Only when the Smoke Jags got to the Inner Sphere did they suffer massive material reversals like Luthien and Tukayyid which must have crippled their large army to the point where it could not recover. They did absorb the Mongoose Clan but were not an industrial powerhouse like the Bears or the Wolves.

I've got two different posts from the old CBT forums which did a good job at documenting the Jag touman. Unfortunately I don't have the authors at hand. If somebody knows please post them.

Thanks to Dark_Jaguar for pointing out my errors concerning the Second Smoke Jaguar Cavaliers, and the alleged Fourth and Seventh Smoke Jaguar Hussars, which were, in fact typos for the Fourth and Seventh Smoke Jaguar Dragoons. Still listing them, just not counting them

Special thanks to Warrior_Priest for the info on the Jags from Battle of Luthien.
Special thanks to Wick (from the S7 League) for the info from Objective Raids

Here is the second again I apologize for not knowing the author.

Tarazed: 100%
Turtle Bay: 100%
Virentofta: 100%
Yamarovka: 100%

Now this Touman I got from long, hard research and a bit of fill-in the blanks. It may not be 100% accurate, but you'd get the idea.

Touman (in Galaxies): 12 Galaxies (57 Clusters)

Front-line: 5 Galaxies, 2 half/half Front/Second-line Galaxies (34 Clusters)
Alpha Galaxy: 6 Clusters
Beta Galaxy: 6 Clusters
Delta Galaxy: 6 Clusters
Epsilon Galaxy: 5 Clusters
Pi Galaxy: 5 Clusters
Zeta Galaxy: 3 Clusters
Omega Galaxy: 3 Clusters
Tau Galaxy (created & destroyed in 3058): 3 Clusters

Second-line Galaxies: 5 Galaxies (23 Clusters)
Zeta Galaxy (somehow there were two, or the former Front-line one on Huntress is another Galaxy): 5 Clusters
Kappa Galaxy: 5 Clusters
Nu Galaxy: 5 Clusters
Phi Galaxy: 5 Clusters
Omega Galaxy (ditto Zeta): 3 Clusters

There might be some missing Galaxies out there since only two Galaxies from the Homeworlds were mentioned, and those were the Iron Guard (Zeta) and Watchmen (Omega) Galaxies. Also, Pi Galaxy is mentioned in FM: Crusader Clans in the Star Adder section for Mu Galaxy, I believe. Since it squared off with the Adder's Beta Galaxy on Atreus, and since there are a few mentioned Front-line Clusters (304th Battle, 25th Jaguar Dragoons, 1st Jaguar Cavaliers, etc) I'm assuming they were part of Pi Galaxy. As it is, were all those Galaxies to survive to full strength, plus the addition of Tau Galaxy, the Smoke Jaguars would have had a Touman equivalent to the Ghost Bears, only would have been far superior since the Smoke Jaguars usually used better 'Mechs, tactics and warriors than the Ghost Bears. Though, as I said, there might have been more units, so it is quite likely that the Jaguars were even larger before Operation Revival and thata large portion of Clan Smoke Jaguar survived the lynching the Inner Sphere performed to steal the sweet, sweet paint job.

I posted a general unit composition, favored units and tactics on the Smoke Jaguar Tactics/Clan Tactics thread. Just look for it and you'll find a lot more info on that.

In my campaigns nothing canon mind you I have called Smoke Jaguar Alpha Galaxy, the Shadow Walkers.

You're missing the 77th Battle Cluster, originally in Alpha and moved to Omega in 3085. Oh, wait, that's my non-canon unit.
