Although by the book (

) the Scorps don't have any PGCs, I think that is just something the original writer thought wouldn't or shouldn't be included in the list of Front and Second Line combat formations. Accordingly, I give the Scorps around fifteen or so PGCs that are equipped with vehicles, conventional infantry, and conventional fighters. These units are designed for the defense of Scorpion enclaves and also provide a police/para-military presence to preserve law and order among the castes. Like other Clans, the Scorp PGCs are comprised of warriors that didn't make the cut for combat service, as well as those who are simply too old or disabled to continue the serve their Clan on the firing line.

I organize the Scorpion PGCs as follows:

Trinary Alpha:
Command Star: 2 Minerva, 2 Chiron, 2 Hera, 2 Infantry Points, 2 Hecate
Garrison Star: 6 Minera, 2 Hera, 2 Infantry Points
Air Star: 10 Hel

Trinary Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon
Garrison Star 1: 6 Minerva, 2 Hera, 2 Infantry Points
Garrison Star 2: 6 Minerva, 2 Hera, 2 Infantry Points
Scout Star 1: 6 Chiron; 4 Hecate

This organization gives a good mix of scouts, infantry, and armor in the four main combat trinary formations and gives the PGC limited air assets with the Hel-class conventional fighters in Trinary Alpha.

I will follow up with the actual vehicles.

==Overview:==
The Hel is a conventional V/STOL fighter assigned to Scorpion PGCs.  Normally
each PGC contains 10 Hels tasked with providing air support and air cover over
the PGC.  These fighters use a 300-rate fusion engine to generate a safe
thrust of 3-g's and a maximum overthrust of 4.5-g's.  Armor protection for
this fighter is limited, as with all conventional fighters, and is fitted with
just three tons of ferro-aluminum plating.

However, the fighter does carry an fairly heft array of weaponry, including a
nose mounted ER Large Laser and two wing-mounted LRM-5 launchers, sharing a
single ton of ammunition between them (24 shots).  These weapons allow the Hel
to engage at long and extreme range, avoiding the return fire of many units
short- and medium-range weapons.

Although the Hel is virtually obsolete in comparison to Clan Aerospace or Omni
Fighters, it does provide good air cover at low cost in resources to PGC
formations.

==Overview:==
The Hecate is the standard Scorpion VTOL seen in provisional garrison forces. 
This is a fast two-man craft that uses a 135-rate fusion engine for a maximum
overland speed of 183.6 kilometers per hour.  Armor protection is light, even
for a VTOL with just two tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating.

Armament consists of an ATM-6 with a total of 30 shots--the Hecate normally
carries 20 extended-range missiles and 10 high-explosive missiles.  Backing up
the ATM-6 are a pair of AP Gauss Rifles with 40 shots in total; the APG have
been tied into a targeting computer.

The inclusion of the ATM with extended-range missiles gives the Hecate an
outstanding range capacity; this should allow the VTOL to engage targets from
outside the effective weapons range of their opponents.  Once the target has
been softened up by the extreme-range fire, the Hecate will either close to
inflict heavy damage with the APG and high-explosive warheads or return to
base to load additional ER missiles, handing off their opponents to their
ground-based Trinary mates.

Eighteen Hecates are part of a standard Scorpion PGC.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
The Hera is a light, tracked infantry carrier designed to embark a full point
of conventiona infantry (25 troopers).  The five-ton infantry bay is large
enough to accomodate a point of Elementals instead, but is normally used for
conventional infantry and additional munitions or supplies.  Designed to match
speeds with the Minerva, the Hera uses a 175-rate fusion engine for a maximum
overland speed of 86.4 kilometers per hour; it does carry far less armor than
the Minerva, with only six and a half tons of ferro-fibrous.

Armament is designed to support the infantry point and is concentrated in the
turret.  The main is an extended-range Medium Laser, augmented by an AP Gauss
(40 shots), with both weapons tied into a targeting computer.  A SRM-4
launcher with Artemis V (25 shots) provides vital crit-seeking and a low-heat
supplement the main guns, while an Anti-Missile System (24 bursts) protects
the vehicles against hostile missile attacks.

A standard Scorpion PGC includes 20 Heras, each with their own point of
infantry, for a total of 500 conventional infantry per Cluster (around four
Stars).

==Overview:==
The Minerva is the new Goliath Scorpion medium battle tank, designed for
provisional garrison forces.  This 50-ton requires a four man crew, consisting
of a driver, a gunner, a systems engineer, and a vehicle commander.  The
Minerva is tracked, but despite that it is still capable of acheiving speeds
of 86.4 kilometers per hour thanks to its 250-rate fusion engine.

All armament is concentrated in the turret and consists of an LRM-10 launcher
with Artemis V Fire Control (24 salvoes), an extended-range Large Laser, and
an AP Gauss (40 shots).  The ER Large Laser and AP Gauss are tied into a
targeting computer allowing for precision fire.  Defensively, the Minerva is
outfitted with eight tons of ferro-fibrous armor plating.

When formed, Scorpion PGCs used the same manner of formations as front- and
second-line Scorpion Clusters:  five mixed Trinaries.  A total of 52 Minervas
are fielded by a standard PGC.

Although many within the Clans consider the design too lightweight and
undergunned for serious defensive operations, the Scorpions believe that the
mobility, firepower, and armor protection will allow the Minerva to present
serious difficulties against any foe that invades a Scorpion world or enclave.
 To date, that theory has yet to be tested in battle.
