| MONGOOSE Leaving warming eastern climes, we prowl-- Seeking our enemies with hateful scowl! Sleek and lean--we will never tire, As we heap dead foes upon the bier! We hunger for battle and thirst for war; What awful carnage and hideous gore! Stricken and dazed, wounded foes will fall, While we alone remain upright and tall. Our stomachs are empty and our throats are dry; Conquest is certain and the victory is nigh! by: Sheldon J. Young |

Mongoose Totem: Clan Mongoose was named after the sinuous predator found on the planet Shadow. It stalked and killed that world's large, dangerous venom worms, which endeared it to the Clan. Clan Mongoose HistoryClan Mongoose was absorbed by Clan Smoke Jaguar in 2868. Overtly reliant on political maneuvering, the Khans of Clan Mongoose were fond of quoting the writings of the Great Kerenskys to justify their actions. However, when they attempted to use such a maneuver to escape a Grand Council decision that ran contrary to their wishes, they were declared unfit to rule, and their Clan became the target of a Trial of Absorption. Clan Smoke Jaguar won the right to absorb the Mongoose assets, though actions by Clan Star Adder in advance of the official Trial limited the Smoke Jaguar gains. The Smoke Jaguars destroyed the Mongoose Touman, but refused to take any of the Clan's genetic legacies. The Cloud Cobras acquired eleven legacies, which they continue to use to this day. |
