The Steel Vipers were among the more aggressive Clans. It cost them dearly at the end of the Wars of Reaving.

Poor Vipers, they can come back to the inner sphere ANY TIME they'd like. We have a few new weapons we'd like to show them :).

"These free-births truly are animals..." - Steel Vipers "And I'm as free as a _BIRTH!_ now, and this _BIRTH!_ you can not change!" - Anonymous Com-Guard shouting over the ancient Terran rock song 'Freebird," played on open channels at the battle of Tukayyid. Historians debate whether it was simply awkward, or played a key role behind Clan discipline breaking down in multiple sectors, but all agree it stands as proof trolling still existed during the Clan Invasion era and that it made those try-hards big mad.

Yeah, I get the impression that the Steel Vipers like their missile weapons. They've got better damage-to-ton ratios than ballistics, but are still pretty ammo-hungry.

Oh, MekTek added the Battle Cobra to their updated version of MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries, by the way. :)

I was gonna say that Tukayyid really wasn't Steel Viper's proudest moment, but looking at the rest of their history, it's hard to say what their proudest moment would actually be. Failing to invade the Jade Falcons, starting the Wars of Reaving, getting themselves annihilated, and nearly all of their notable Khans and Sakhans were either killed doing something stupid or deposed in disgrace after failing to do something stupid. Say what you will about the shortcomings of Clanner society, at least most of the other Clans were actually good at it.

I guess they are the clan who had ambition but never really had the means to achieve any of that ambition.

Clan Jade Falcons will always be the biggest assholes to me. They are the second strongest clan but they are always jealous of wolf, manipulated and betrayed smoke jaguar, and half of their Khans are insane psychopaths that enjoy massacring civilians

One big question though. At 12:12 you mention there being a provisional cluster made up of freebirths, don't the Steel Vipers have a strict trueborns-only policy for their warrior castes? Or is this another case of writers not sharing notes again like with Stackpole and Thurston depictions of the clans not matching up with the source books?
