Line 140: Laser weapons were prized by the Clan, both for their precision and lack of ammunition requirements (qualities also useful for the nomadic Seekers), while missile weapons were seen as the tools of the unskilled. [[Targeting Computer]]s were used extensively as well, though warriors would often disable parts of these systems in order to showcase their true skill. This display of a warrior's skill was highly prized within the Clan, especially in the honor duels governed by ''[[zellbrigen]]''. Clan Goliath Scorpion was stricter in upholding ''zellbrigen'' than even [[Clan Jade Falcon]] or [[Clan Blood Spirit]], in spite of the lessons learned during the Clan Invasion.<ref name=FMWC109/> In an example of how much they value individual dueling, the Clan instituted a series of gladiatorial tournaments based upon the [[Martial Olympiad]]s in what became known as the Circus Honorae, or Circle of Honor, since the Golden Century.
