As the [[Wars of Reaving]] swept through the [[Clan Homeworlds]], the Clans who identified themselves as Home Clans often felt that they had held to the true Way of the Clans, while the [[Invader Clans]] had lost that way.  By the end of the Wars of Reaving, all of the Invader Clans had been [[Trial of Abjuration|Abjured]] from Clan Society.

As of [[3090]], new political philosophies had taken root in the Clan Homeworlds, inspired by the writings of the fallen [[Clan Star Adder]] Khan [[Stanislov N'Buta]].  Both ideologies were born as a reaction to and in direct opposition of the strife and politics of the previous era.  Since the Wars of Reaving, Clan politics had profoundly shifted away from the older internal Crusader-Warden conflicts that led up to Operation Revival.  The warriors of the Clan Homeworlds felt that the Invading Clans' philosophies and politics were irredeemably tainted by their contact with the Inner Sphere, strong Clans that were weakened and rotted from the inside out.  The first of these new groups was called the [[Bastions]].  This new political movement espoused the need for the Clans to be pure of spirit, and to live by the [[Honor Road]] in order to overcome the Inner Sphere in any renewed invasion.  The Bastions movement would also generate its own offshoot with which to contend.  Called the [[Aggressors]], they tend to be younger generation warriors who possess a much more straightforward (and brutal) approach to the future renewed invasion, inspired by the style of warfare that had wrought so much destruction in the Homeworlds during the previous decades.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving: Supplemental'', p. 7, 8 - "Political Boundries"</ref>
