After facing several catastrophic setbacks during their early years, the Cloud Cobras followed a carefully laid plan for growth.  Khan [[Rafe Kardaan]] had set the pattern for the military expansion of the Cloud Cobras during his reign, and [[aerospace fighter]] forces were central to his plans.  The Khans that succeeded his rule would also follow the pattern that he had set.  Perhaps none of them did more to champion that expansion than Khan Josef Mannix.<ref name=FM:WCp20,21>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 20, 21, "Born of Necessity, Baptized in Flame"</ref><ref name=FM:WCp21>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 21 - "Raised in Revolution"</ref>

Hailing from a Bloodname House that would one day become associated with the infantry, Mannix was fully capable of recognizing opportunity when he saw it.  The loathed Clan Mongoose was [[Trial of Absorption|Absorbed]] by [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] in [[2868]].  The Smoke Jaguars claimed all resources and property of the former Clan, as well as its surviving population.  But Smoke Jaguar Khan [[Theodore Osis]] completely refused to use any of the captured Mongoose genetic legacies in his Clan's breeding program.  Khan Mannix and the Cloud Cobras had been quietly observing the matter for some time, having become aware of the fighting prowess of Clan Mongoose aerospace pilots.  The Mongooses had cheated the Cloud Cobras out of a great many aerospace fighters earlier in the Golden Century, so the Cobras likely watched the Mongoose downfall with great interest.<ref name=FM:WCp22/><ref>''Era Digest: Golden Century'', p. 5, "Blood in the Boardroom"</ref>

With the Clan sphere returning to business as usual after the end of the Trial, Khan Mannix would strike swiftly in the years after the Trial.  Targeting the cast-off genetic heritages, the Cloud Cobras were able to seize 72 legacies from a total of 11 different [[Bloodname]] Houses, all of them pilots. Khan Osis of the Jaguars was angered at the Cobras' reactivation of genetic lines that he had wished to wither and die, but ultimately was in no position to defend legacies that he had previously scorned.<ref name=FM:WCp22/>
