History
During the Wars of Reaving Clan Goliath Scorpion managed to avoid much of the fight that bled dry other Clans, emerging as the second most powerful after Clan Star Adder. They had also Absorbed the Eridani Light Horse after they were cut off from the Inner Sphere and the last remains of Clan Ice Hellion after their invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone was defeated.
In the meanwhile the Scorpions had been exploring the Deep Periphery, establishing outposts and supply points at Waystation 531, and raiding Nueva Castile.
Clan Steel Viper, the one that fought more fanatically to carry out the Reavings, already considered to bring the Scorpions before the Grand Council, since they were tainted by the Hellions and by the Eridani Light Horse. The Scorpion Seekers also made contact with pirates and bandits when exploring the Periphery, and their reconnaisance mission to Nueva Castile was carried out with un-Clanlike deception tactics; this, according to the Vipers, was enough to Reave the whole Clan Goliath Scorpion. The Viper annihilation eventually stopped this plan of action.
The Scorpions obsession with Star League relics would ultimetely be their doom. In December 3078 they defended Hector against a Clan Cloud Cobra assault. During the fighting at the Bright Ledge genetic research station, one salvo from a Scorpion 'Mech blew the main bridge dropping half of the 73rd Cobra Guards into the ravine; the Cobras declared the remaining Scorpions dezgra and crushed them. Upon claiming their isorla, they discovered that the Scorpion scientists, without authorization from the Khans or the Clan Council, had been experimenting with integrating Eridani Light Horse genes in the Clan legacies. The matter was brought in the Grand Council, and a Trial of Abjuration was immediately approved. Despite this, the Clans moved slowly to carry it out, and this allowed the Scorpions to evacuate much of their assets to Waystation 531. The forces left behind fought valiantly but were ultimately defeated. The survivors gathered at Waystation 531, then moved and conquered Nueva Castile.
