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
Founding
The Scorpions' first khan was Cyrus Elam, a former member of the SLDF Corps of Engineers. Under his instruction, the fledgling Clan developed flexible combat tactics and fielded combined-arms forces [1]
Operation Klondike
The Scorpions were assigned to retake the world of Dagda. The cluster made the first landing on Dagda, and faced off against the McMillan Collective, the best-equipped and best-led faction on the planet. The crux of the fighting was at Firebase Delta, a functional Space Defense System facility. While the Scorpions took the facility, it cost them nearly a quarter of their strength.
After crushing some smaller factions on the Riva continent, the Scorpions faced The Chosen, a doomsday cult who thought to ride out the war in an upland mining facility-turned-monastery. After grinding the Chosen's military to pieces, the Scorpions laid a siege against the monastery itself. When the time came to storm the structure, many of the inhabitants committed suiced rather than be taken by the clans.
The Scorpions moved on to the Tenno continent, where they faced the Drakkars. Khan Elam intimidated the Drakkar into surrendering by threatening to subject their headquarters to orbital bombardment. The Drakkar leader was later adopted into the Scorpions' technician caste.
The Scorpions' heavy losses ruled them out from participating in the final battles of the Dagda campaign.
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.[2][3] 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.
