Description
Staunch Wardens, the Goliath Scorpions value precision over brute force, while believing strongly in visions and quests. They take Necrosia, based on the venom of the goliath scorpion, to aid in these visions. This Clan believes in looking to the past in order to rebuild the Star League, piece by piece.
History
Jihad
At some point in 3068, Clan Goliath Scorpion took part of the 71st Light Horse Regiment of the Eridani Light Horse Brigade as bondsmen.[1][2] How many Horsemen became bondsmen, and their ultimate fate, is unknown.
Touman
Many Clansmen believe, if not for their visions and quests, they would be an extremely powerful force to be reckoned with. Their unique organizational scheme within their touman (even more detailed than the Jade Falcons) and knowledge of the old Star League Defense Force strategy and tactics would make them a well-oiled engine of destruction. It was their Heartvenom Cluster (Cateran cluster formation with Command Trinary, two Specialist Trinary, Battle Trinary, and Striker Trinary) that trained Wolf's Dragoons before they left for the Inner Sphere and made them an elite unit capable of handling any operation.
Goliath Scorpion was also the first clan to begin development of Battle Armor, with early designs based on underwater mining suits. Clan Wolf then perfected these early designs, which led to the production of the Elemental, the prominent Battle Armor for the Clans.
Allies and enemies
They are fiercely devoted to Clan Wolf.[citation needed]
