Minnesota Tribe
Sarna News
In 2825, a strange unit using SLDF tactics and bearing the insignia of Minnesota attacked 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 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.
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.
It is rumored that the Minnesota Tribe is the remnants of Clan Wolverine.
