Clan Political Balance 3052
« on: October 12, 2014, 08:04:48 PM »

While I was impressed with OTP Revival Trails it lacked a couple of things. The most disappointing oversight was a lack of the Clan Political Balance Table for the time period. Between 3051 and 3062 we missing on some really big territorial shifts like the Burrock Absorption, the Smoke Jaguar Annihilation, the Ghost Bear Move, and the Nova Cat Abjuration. Instead of bitch about it we can go back and do it ourselves. I was wondering if anyone would like to help?

Here is what I got so far. The Burrock numbers were simply taken from Star Adders future holdings and I think they largely work. Paxon seems to be an oversight as both the Burrocks and the Star Adders seem to have holding in system just not on planet.

Bearclaw I am thinking will go 70 for the Bears and 30 for the Nova Cats.

Did Jade Falcon share Ironhold with other Clans in 3051? Can't remember.

The others I am still deciding.

Ghost Bear Move to the InnerSphere (Clans Warriors of Kerensky pg 26-28)
Bearclaw
Tokasha
Paxon

Smoke Jaguar Annihilation (Clans Warriors of Kerensky pg 26-27)
Huntress
Eden
Londerholm
Atreus
Vinton
Homer
Tranquil
Kirin

Nova Cat Abjuration (Clans Warriors of Kerensky pg 26-28)
Barcella
Circe
Bearclaw
Brim
Gatekeeper
Delios
Hoard

Burrock Absorption (FM Crusader Clans) [pre-February 3059]
Albion (100%)
Dagda (22%)
Priori (48%)
Hoard (39%)
Paxon (0%)

Star Adder
Paxon (0%)
   Krakau

Jade Falcon
Ironhold (other Clans with smaller enclaves?)

Strana Mechty (divided by 17 Clans)
5% each Clan originally – now 5.88% with three Clans absorbed or annihilated

Ironhold was exclusive to the Falcons.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Cool, I must be thinking of Huntress.

Speaking of Huntress the Falcons have a small piece. Is there some other Clan that does as well?

Barcella looks to be 100% Nova Cat.

Barcella was shared with the Sharks.

Huntress had the Falcons only.

York had the Falcons and Ravens with small holdings.

York, that was the one I was thinking of. Thanks!

Barcella was shared with the Sharks.

I take a second look for more information. BattleTechWiki seems to be incorrect with its accounting saying the Ice Hellions and Jade Falcons have a piece of the planet. I think that is only after the Nova Cat Abjuration.

is it a political balance table, or a territorial balance table you are looking for?

a clan with very few holdings can hold impressive political sway.  one would argue that was the Mongooses downfall.

Still looking for the Barcella reference Blacknova, thanks. Figure I'll go world by world and Clan by Clan.

Blood Spirit (2)
   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.

is it a political balance table, or a territorial balance table you are looking for?

a clan with very few holdings can hold impressive political sway.  one would argue that was the Mongooses downfall.

The title is something of a misnomer JP. I want to replicate the 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)

You can see the note on the bottom; the numbers in this table represent the percent of each world a Clan controls.

Burrock (4)
   In 2821 they liberated Dagda (22%) 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 (48%) and Hoard (39%) 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 (6)
   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 world the Cobras contracted the Burrocks for additional forces in exchange for resources.

I can't find the info on Barcella, but it would make sense considering the two Clan's close relationship.
