Appearing without warning just prior to the Second Succession War, the so-called Minnesota Tribe are rumored to be the remnants of Clan Wolverine.
Overview
In 2825, a strange unit using SLDF tactics and bearing the insignia of North American state of Minnesota attacked the Draconis Combine world of Svelvik. The army unit refused to communicate with the Draconis Combine militia, took what they wanted, and left the system.
They next attacked Trondheim, where the 20th Rasalhague Regulars were stationed. They defeated the regular unit, again refusing communication, even to the extreme of committing suicide before they could be captured. This scared Coordinator Jinjiro Kurita, because he believed that they could be an advance unit for the return of the Kerensky's troops, so he shifted troops to the Periphery borders of both his Pesht and Rasalhague Military Districts. This possibility also caused trepidation for Primus of ComStar Conrad Toyama, who feared ComStar's desired role as technological savior of the Inner Sphere would be undone, ordering ROM to shadow and attempt to discover the origins of the unknown unit. [1]
The army unit, which had now been labeled the "Minnesota Tribe," attacked Jarett, this time using massed AeroSpace Fighters to keep the Draconis Combine BattleMechs out of the fight. The Tribe attacked for the last time on the planet Richmond, though it is unclear whether they knew about the jail that housed political prisoners before they freed them. The Tribe loaded the freed prisoners up in their DropShips and left, never making their presence known in the Inner Sphere again. ComStar continued to track the Tribe as it traveled in the Deep Periphery towards the Federated Suns, only to lose the trail near Valentina.[1]
Though not realized until centuries later after the Clan Invasion, the clothing worn by a Minnesota Tribe MechWarrior killed in the fighting on Richmond would provide evidence of a possible link to the supposedly annihilated Clan Wolverine. Piloting a pristine Lancelot, the warrior was clad in a more advanced version of the SLDF's full body coolant suits which displayed two patches, the Minnesota tribe's insignia with the numbers "331" stitched on it, appearing to be a revised version of the insignia of the 331st Royal BattleMech Division, and the other of a white Terran Wolverine with bloodied fangs.
