{{Quote|'''''BIRTH OF A NEW SOCIETY…'''
''The [[Clans]], brainchild of [[Nicholas Kerensky]], emerged from the ashes of the decimated [[SLDF|Star League Defense Force]] to create a new order in distant lands. Ritualizing combat, they established a new society where only the strongest warriors rule and justice is won through battle.''

''Ironically, it would be the death of the Clans’ founder that would catalyze this new society and spur a period of amazing technological and social growth known as the Golden Century. This was the age where Kerensky’s warriors and their descendants truly forged themselves into the powerful army that would one day return to the [[Inner Sphere]] in a righteous [[Clan Invasion|Crusade]].''
