About The Star League Pirates -
Clan Sword in Exile


Bassic Fan-Fic Overview:
In deep Clan space around late 3024 Clan Sword was formed by young Point Commander Cronce Whull of Clan Wolf. The clan was formed to protect and preserve the knowledge of the Clans, as well as protecting fortifying and exploring uncharted clan space. This was all done in secrecy to avoid the disputable differences that the Clans often shared towards one another. But in 3049 with the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere this would all come to change with the death of Khan Cronce Whull in 3049 serving his duty to Clan Wolf during the Clan Invasions. This event left saKhan Nova Kerensky as the heir to Khan of Clan Sword, and Khan Nova Kerensky viewed the death of Khan Cronce Whull as a sign from the Great Father to stop the devastating invasion of the Inner Sphere. Khan Nova Kerensky had mobilized about 60% of Clan Sword’s forces and took them to confront and reveal themselves the Clans on the Inner Sphere front in 3051. With the presence of Clan Sword now known to the Clans Khan Nova Kerensky tried to persuade the invading Clans to cease and desist their violent military conquest of the Inner Sphere to restore the Star League. So Clan Sword had issued a Trial of Refusal to stop the invasion, the Refusal was only met by a Trial of Annihilation by Clan Jade Falcon who was enraged with Clan Sword. Trapped in the front lines Clan Sword had no choice but to face Clan Jade Falcon in the Trial of Annihilation, the falcons were accompanied by some mixed support from the Ice Hellions and Smoke Jaguars. The battles in the Annihilation were fought long and hard with Clan Sword on the losing end of the Trial. With Clan Swords large losses they sent word back word to their home worlds for reinforcements. The rest of Clan Swords military force had reached the front lines by early 3052, the large number of Clan Sword’s military force had shocked the Falcons who did not care to see how many more reinforcements Clan Sword could throw at them and so the Trial of Annihilation was called off. By this time the conquest had stopped with the Battle of Tukayyid. With Clan Sword suffering a loss of almost 1/2 of their military force they had scattered to the Inner Sphere vanishing from existence until emerging in late 3056 as The Star League Pirates ware they seeked council with Comstar on Terra intending to bring forth the enlightenment of the New Star League. However they did not find the Inner Sphere in a position to be ready with the house lords still feuding. With the news of the Inner Sphere reforming the Star League in 3058 SLP had returned in time to deliver aid and guidance to Task Force Serpent. SLP never served in Task Force Serpent, but they did establish an allegiance with the Second Star League to serve and protect it.

Information & Details:
We hold mandatory clan meetings on every Friday at 18:00 GST
Rank advancements are traditionally achieved through Trial of Positions.
We try to uphold the Clan society from the Warden's standpoint, to which the nature of online gaming can allow.
We also promote the "Clan experience" in SLP.
Our ideals and foundations within SLP are based upon what is found in the Source Books, Rule Books, and Technical ReadOuts to the original Classic BattleTech and MechWarrior RPG games.
We have a written "Ruling Government and Rules" policy that define the rules and procedures in SLP that all members are to abide by.

Codes of Conduct:
It has been stressed upon the members to fight with honor and fairty. "It is better to die with honor than it is to live as a coward." Plus we have always asked that you respect other clans friend or foe. Treat others how you would like to be treated. Follow and honor the words of your OvKhan(s). We despise: legging, chaining, disorderly conduct, abuse of power, dishonorable acts. All of these acts can be punishable by the Khan or keshik.
You will need to show up, and participate in the meetings as much as possible to stay as an active member of SLP, inactive members will be removed from the roster, and will have to start over again with their rank and awards.
FFP (Force First Person) is not considered beyond reality in SLP, it may be argued in the rulebook "Maximum Tech" of the clan systems called Enhanced Imaging will allow the user to access generated images and video from an outside view of the BattleMech and it's surroundings.
