Now they are so utterly alien that it is hard to accept that they are human. They were brothers and sisters to our own ancestors 250 years ago, yet have been tempered by a stronger flame.
With both sides swearing off all contact from each other, the hatred has now shifted from one of ideology to territorial. This war would cause the remaining Invading Clans to be ejected out of the homeworlds as the Home Clans would abandon the old Crusader-Warden views for more brutal and self-protective ones instead, seeing the Inner Sphere as irredeemably tainted. Instead of resuming the rightful trek on Terra, a civil war based on territorial status and resentment was started among the Clan Homeworlds. But after their loss at Tukayyid, internal tensions within the Clans and an alliance between the Great Houses drew the invasion to a standstill.Īfter the Truce of Tukayyid had dissolved along with the reborn Star League, the Clans would be permanently fractured as a whole.
When they returned to the Inner Sphere, 250 years after their ancestors' departure, the Great Houses were mostly powerless to stop the massive Clan Invasion. While the Inner Sphere was mired in the destructive Succession Wars, the Clans experienced a technological renaissance. After much infighting between the members of the former SLDF, Aleksandr's son Nicholas Kerensky took command of the exiles, reorganizing them into twenty Clans of warriors leading and protecting their attendant civilian castes. General Aleksandr Kerensky led his forces to a hidden destination far from the Great Houses because he believed that a catastrophic war was inevitable, one that even the once mighty Star League army would be powerless to stop. The Clans of BattleTech were originally descended from the self-exiled remnants of the Star League Defense Force (SLDF), who had departed the Inner Sphere after Stefan Amaris brought about the downfall of the Star League.
