In December [[3078]], the Scorpions defended [[Hector (system)|Hector]] against a [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] assault. During the fighting at the Bright Ledge genetic research station, one salvo from a Scorpion 'Mech blew the main bridge, dropping half of the [[73rd Cobra Guards]] into the ravine; the Cobras declared the remaining Scorpions ''[[dezgra]]'' and crushed them. Upon claiming their ''[[isorla]]'', they discovered that the Scorpion scientists, without authorization from the Khans or the Clan Council, had been experimenting with integrating [[Eridani Light Horse]] genes into the Clan legacies. The matter was brought to the [[Grand Council]], and a [[Trial of Abjuration]] was immediately approved. Despite this, the Clans moved slowly to carry it out, and this allowed the Scorpions to evacuate much of their assets to [[Waypoint 531]]. The forces left behind fought valiantly, but were ultimately defeated. The survivors gathered at Waypoint 531, then moved on to conquer the [[Umayyad Caliphate]] and [[Nueva Castile]], forming the [[Escorpión Imperio]] in [[3080]]. After the fifteen-month conquest of the [[Hanseatic League]] (starting in [[3140]]), Khan [[Magon Scott]] officially declared the formation of the [[Scorpion Empire]]; the Clan appears to be operating freely with the creation of [[Bloodhouse|Bloodhouses]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 160: "Founder's Future"</ref><ref name="OTP:HCp8-9">''Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade'', pp. 8–9: "The Escorpión Imperio, 3080-3140"</ref><ref name="OTP:HCp10-13">''Operational Turning Points: Hanseatic Crusade'', pp. 10–13: "The Hanseatic League, 3140"</ref>

Despite this, the Clans moved slowly to carry it out, and this allowed the Scorpions to evacuate much of their assets to [[Waypoint 531]]. Any and all forces left behind in the Clan homeworlds were ultimately defeated and also resulted in the Scorpions losing exclusive claims to the Suvorov and Djerassi Bloodnames in the process. However in their escape from Clan space, they were joined by Clan Ice Hellion survivors that retreated from their failed incursion into the Inner Sphere, they would be absorbed into Clan Goliath Scorpion along with their Bloodnames.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 160: "Founder's Future"</ref>

After Clan Ice Hellion retreated from their failed incursion into the Inner Sphere, they would be absorbed into Clan Goliath Scorpion along with their Bloodnames. Following the Scorpion's abjuration after the Wars of Reaving, the Goliath Scorpions would be abjured from Clan Space, losing exclusive claims to the Suvorov and Djerassi Bloodnames in the process.

The Goliath Scorpions would add to their blood legacies during their campaigns against the [[Deep Periphery]] states known as the [[Umayyad Caliphate]], [[Nueva Castile]] and later the [[Hanseatic League]].

The Goliath Scorpions would add to their own blood legacies during their campaigns against the [[Deep Periphery]] states known as [[Nueva Castile]], [[Umayyad Caliphate]], and later the [[Hanseatic League]]. These new legacies were not described as any given phenotype, and because of that they are all listed as general.
