The Hellion's Fury (referred to as The Hellion's Tantrum by other Clans) of May-June 3050 was a series of battles fought to assuage the anger of Clan Ice Hellion's Khan and warriors after their failure to win a place in the invasion of the Inner Sphere. They would win numerous territories and resources but also lost their senior leaders and the respect of other Clans.

Origins

Outbound Light

In 3048 the ComStar vessel Outbound Light was captured by Clan Smoke Jaguar and the crew was forced to reveal information about the current state of the Inner Sphere. Using this opportunity to his advantage, ilKhan Leo Showers revealed this information to the Grand Council (and twisted some truths) to approve the decision. Various Clans would conduct Trials of Possession to see which Clans would lead the charge of invading the Inner Sphere. As a result, four Clans would spearhead Operation Revival (with Clan Wolf being forced to join for opposing the invasion). Those who fought well enough would be placed as reserve Clans.

Hellion Strife

During this time, Stephen Tyler was elected as Khan of Clan Ice Hellion to deal with inter-Hellion conflicts. Like the other Clans, Khan Tyler would join the Trial to invade the Inner Sphere to improve the morale of his Clan. However, his Clan would end up defeated during the Trial, causing growing anger among the Clan. Recognizing the situation and opportunity of the other weakened Clans from the Trial, Khan Tyler would create the Hellion's Fury Campaign. This campaign would not only allow the Ice Hellions to gain resources, but also allowed the Clan to vent their anger on their opponents. By doing this, Khan Stephen Tyler would unify his Clan and help rid it of internal strife.

Aftermath

After the Hellion's Fury Campaign had ended, the Ice Hellions would gain tremendous resources at the expense of Khan Stephen Tyler's life and their reputation. While Clan Ice Hellion saw their attacks as a success and a force to be reckoned with, the other Clans viewed them differently. Most Clans saw their campaign as a temper tantrum for not being included in the Invasion, referring to their campaign as "The Hellion's Tantrum". As a result, no Clan would take the Ice Hellions seriously, giving them few allies. Stephen Tyler's successor, Hellion Khan Asa Taney, created the Home Clan Coalition to rectify the honor of their Clan, but the plan backfired with the Harvest Trials. The failure of the Home Clan Coalition along with their Hellion Fury campaign would permanently mark the Ice Hellions' as a weak Clan, leading to their destruction three decades later.
