Template:InfoBoxStateUnit The Dark is a military formation of former members of Clan Smoke Jaguar that survived Operation Bulldog.

History

After Operation Bulldog and the destruction of Clan Smoke Jaguar a large number of its former warriors made their way to Antallos. Although a few Clan renegades already called the planet home, this was by far the biggest influx of ex-clanners the world had seen. The group takes it name from the Dark Caste outcasts of Clan Society. The Dark keep to themselves and shun outside contact, their only communications with outsiders at this time was to simply state "We are Dark". The one pirate band that tried to force the issue to trade Clan technology was annihilated and it's ruined 'Mechs piled in front of the city of Port Krin as a warning to others. [1]

By 3067 the Dark were described as a growing band struggling to form a pseudo-society. It included warriors, both Trueborn and Freeborn, technicians and labourers. They had started to actively prey on other Zone Gangs and had on occasion bid their services to local warlords in exchange for supplies. [2]

Officers

Unknown

Tactics

Dark limited themselves to raids in their formative years.

Composition History

3064

Approximately a battalion (cluster) strong with DropShip and JumpShip support.

Notes

  • Their symbol is the upper portion of a Jaguar skull with golden fangs set on a black circular background.
  • While the Dark clearly consider their own status that of the Dark Caste it is not known if they had dealings with other Dark Caste renegades. The fact that they were noted to be forming their own society makes it had to classify them as a such or as a simple pirate band.
