Editing Clan Diamond Shark (section)

== Culture ==
The most notable fact about Clan Diamond Shark/Sea Fox is that it is probably the least Martial of the Clans. The Warrior Caste remains prominent, but it does not dominate. The Civilian Castes have a greater say in not only their day to day lives than in most Clans, but also in the course the Clan takes as a whole and in particular the Merchant Caste is often in the driver's seat. The distinction between Warriors and Civilians is also less cut and dry as instead of signing up to be suicidal cannon fodder, Diamond Shark/Sea Fox warriors can honorably retire to the civilian castes. While "retired" Warriors are required to retest to maintain their warrior credentials if war occurs, most are happily willing to swap their Warrior beret for a Merchant's cape and vice versa when the situation calls for it. Naturally it's outlook has always tended to be more Economic than most and they're damn good at it. Clan Diamond Shark/Sea Fox set up and ran the HPG network in Clan Space, operated a major media empire and maintained major trade network between Clans. These tendencies were maximized after the [[Clan Invasion|Battle of Tukayyid]], in which the Diamond Shark warrior Caste was decimated.

Other Clanners do tend to look down on the the Diamond Sharks/Sea Foxes as being Un-Clanlike for pushing the boundaries of acceptable behavior. On the other hand; Diamond Shark/Sea Fox could outright buy whole Toumans of warriors if they wanted to, and their tendencies to go with the flow, pick their battles carefully, and not stir up trouble usually ensures they are not seen as a pressing enemy by most, but when properly assed into a fight, Clan Diamond Shark/Sea Fox acquit themselves well.
