Editing Clan Sea Fox Touman

The '''Clan Sea Fox ''touman''''' is the military arm of [[Clan Sea Fox]].

==Unit Structure==
The [[Khanate|Khanates]] are the Sea Fox's equivalents of Clan Galaxies, with each having five [[Aimag|Aimags]]. These Aimags are known as Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. The Khanates are led by a saKhan as a part of the Sea Fox ''touman''. As for the Aimags, they are the equivalents to the Clusters of the Clan. They are led by the ovKhan, which is the Clan's counterpart of the Galaxy Commander.

===Khanate===
The Khanate is the largest formation, which consists of five attending Aimag JumpShip fleets and is roughly the equivalent of a standard Clan Galaxy.<ref name=DATTSp62>''Dark Age: Touring the Stars (3130)'', p. 62</ref>

Most Khanates and their Aimags bid for and fought over specific regions of space - worlds each Aimag and Khanate would use to further the revenue, honor, and glory of the Clan.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 185: "How Khanate & Aimag formations function"</ref>

There are five Khanates: [[Spina Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Spina]], [[Skate Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Skate]], [[Tiburon Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Tiburon]], [[Fox Khanate (Clan Sea Fox)|Fox]], and the ilKhanate.<ref name=DATTSp58>''Dark Age: Touring the Stars (3130)'', p. 58</ref> The ilKhanate is the Clan's command fleet, moving and trading according to the will of the overall leaders of Clan Sea Fox, the Khan and the [[Alpha Council]]. The ilKhanate checks on the activities of the other Khanates, collecting ten percent of their profits as dues.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 185: Explanation of how Sea Fox's ilKhanate operates</ref>  The Khan's flagship is referred to as the ilArcShip.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 262: "ilArcShip mentioned"</ref>

===Aimag===
These are the smaller of the Clan Sea Fox formations and are roughly the equivalent of a standard Clan Cluster. The Aimag is commanded by an [[ovKhan]], who oversees all enclaves, business interaction with worlds, setting up colonies, fleet operations and the maintenance thereof.

There are five Aimags per Khanate.  Each is named after one of the first five letters of the Greek alphabet: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon.

Sea Foxes generally deploy their Aimags individually in a wide area and not in close proximity to each other in order to maximize the rewards of getting economic deals cut between worlds.

On occasions when Aimags do meet, they conduct various rituals and Trials such as: live-fire training exercises ([[Ritual of Combat]]) and [[Trial of Bloodright|Bloodright Trials]]. It is not unusual for years to pass between meetings of Aimags.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 100: "Petr thinks of infrequency of Aimag encounter"</ref>

Aimags compete against one another for mining rights, the creation of colonies, setting enclaves, etc.
Each Aimag tries to win profit & glory as well as honor to their deeds.

===Shoal Clusters===

Ground enclaves are protected by Shoal Clusters. These Clusters, staffed by retired warrior-merchants and cadets, serve multiple roles. In addition to their traditional defensive duties, Shoal Cluster warriors are called upon to pilot IndustrialMechs in support of their enclave's activities. They additionally serve as test pilots for new or experimental designs.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Caveat Emptor'', p. 5</ref>

As the exact number of Sea Fox enclaves is unknown—and indeed, fluctuates substantially—it is unknown how many Shoal Clusters are fielded by Clan Sea Fox.

===Sea Fox ships===
Clan Sea Fox uses heavily modified former WarShips as mother ships and bases of operation. These fall into two categories, known as '''CargoShips''' and '''ArcShips'''.

Both types of ships typically retain their interplanetary drives. However these are rarely used due to the structural changes caused by the refits that created the CargoShips and ArcShips. The changes include the removal of armor and weaponry in order to allow them to roam both the Clan Occupation Zones and Inner Sphere freely.<ref name=DATTSp64>''Dark Age: Touring the Stars (3130)'', p. 64</ref>

* '''CargoShip''' - These are redesigned WarShips which have been reconfigured to become dedicated roving, long-term habitats and mobile supply stations. These ships are part of the core of a typical Aimag fleet.<ref name=DATTSp62/><ref name=DATTSp64/> Gutted DropShips (typically ''[[Behemoth (DropShip)|Behemoth]]''-class) are permanently attached to the hull of these ships to expand living/working space.

* '''ArcShips''' - These are redesigned WarShips which have been reconfigured to be societal points of congress and house the core governmental structures for the entire Clan.<ref name=DATTSp62/> They have been extensively modified to add habitats in their former cargo bays as well as along the outer hull.  ArcShips are typically former ''[[Potemkin]]''-class [[WarShip]]s, which have been extensively lengthened, widened, and increased in mass. Among the largest ArcShips is the ''[[Poseidon]]'', which grew in mass to 2.5 Million tons.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 169: "Petr describing the changes of the Poseidon"</ref>

Apart from the two specialized classes of ships, the Sea Foxes possess an extensive JumpShip fleet consisting of both Inner Sphere and Clan built designs.  The Sea Foxes have former military DropShips which have been converted to serve as cargo haulers, which retain some military capability. A common DropShip in Sea Fox service is the demilitarized ''[[Overlord-C]]'' which are used primarily as cargo haulers. The ship has only one [[BattleMech]] bay with a capacity of one [[Trinary]] of 'Mechs or Combat Vehicles.

===Clan Sea Fox ranks===
Clan Sea Fox has a similar ranking system to those of the more "normal" Clans. However, they also possess exclusive ranks and roles only found within their Clan.
*Khan
* '''saKhan''' - Individual who commands a Khanate fleet formation and all of its Aimag's assets. Possessing a rough equivalent authority between a traditional saKhan and a Galaxy Commander, the saKhan is answerable to the Khan of the Sea Foxes.
* '''ovKhan''' (Galaxy Commander equivalent) - Individual who command an Aimag fleet and assets. Possessing authority roughly equivalent to between a Galaxy Commander and Star Colonel, they answer to the saKhan of their assigned Khanate.
* '''saFactor''' - Sea Fox chief negotiator of an Aimag fleet who is part of the [[Merchant Caste]].
* '''Master Merchant''' - Rank for a Sea Fox ship commander.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 97: "Master Merchant Senna Rodriguez"</ref>
* '''Bloodmaster''' - Held by a member of the [[Scientist Caste]], Bloodmasters spend their lives mastering their role—even going so far as to abandon their name and identity. Officiating the final pairing of a Trial of Bloodright, the Bloodmaster performs an intricate ceremony involving the two [[Glossary of Clan Terms#Dogids|Bloodright coins]], water taken from Twycross, and a gourd, funnel, and beaker.<ref>''Hunters of the Deep'', p. 64</ref>
*Star Colonel
*Star Captain
*Star Commander
*Point Commander
*Warrior

====Field And Dress====
When Clan Diamond Shark reformed into Clan Sea Fox, the Sea Foxes retained their field and dress uniforms, but with modifications.<ref>Era Report: 3145</ref>

====Ceremonial Uniform====
Sea Foxes ceremonial leathers, have details of Sea Fox displayed across torso of the suit.
Uniforms - All Sea Fox uniforms are all blue, but the shoulder colors mark their subcaste types. Here are some examples: Yellow = teachers, Green = teachers, Red for eugenics, Double Stripes = Labor Caste.
