The following "original sixteen" are the most common frontline OmniMechs used in the invasion, and found in most Clans' toumans:

	* '''''IIC BattleMechs''''' - As the Clans never lost their technology, they continued to develop and evolve the Star League-era 'Mechs into stronger and deadlier versions. Curiously, by the time of the Clan Invasion, these were considered obsolete by Clanners due to them lacking the modularity of OmniMechs, and were not used in the frontlines with a few exceptions ~~like~~ the Hunchback IIC~~, which was basically~~ a suicide weapon for ''solahma'' (old) and/or ''dezgra'' (disgraced) MechWarriors, and the Conjurer/Hellhound/Wolverine IIC, ~~which is~~ quite versatile for longer battles thanks to its mostly energy arsenal~~. While less versatile than OmniMechs, they're more than a match for most Spheroid designs; a lesson many Spheroids learned the hard way when they tried raiding Clan territory behind the front lines~~.		* '''''IIC BattleMechs''''' - As the Clans never lost their technology, they continued to develop and evolve the Star League-era 'Mechs into stronger and deadlier versions.

While less versatile than OmniMechs, they're more than a match for most Spheroid designs; a lesson many Spheroids learned the hard way when they tried raiding Clan territory behind the front lines.
			** '''''Hunchback IIC''''' - Basically a suicide weapon for ''solahma'' (old) and/or ''dezgra'' (disgraced) MechWarriors, which is the source of their Bad Reputation among the Clanners. Compared to the normal Hunchback, they have two AC/20s instead of one (and the IIC has ULTRA ACs, which can fire twice as fast as a normal AC), allowing them to hit as hard as a ''King Crab'' while having only six tons of armor, making them dangerous glass cannons.
			** '''''Conjurer/Hellhound/Wolverine IIC''''' - The evolution of the SLDF's ''Wolverine II'', with a different name to avoid mentioning the Not-Named Clan. It's quite versatile for longer battles thanks to its mostly energy arsenal.
	* '''''[[Timber Wolf\|Timber Wolf/Mad Cat]]''''' - The Clanners' most famous 'Mech. Actually quite a preposterously expensive thing, but the fact it can blast it's way through Assault 'Mechs makes it a favorite. It's Inner Sphere name comes from their targeting computers being incapable of deciding whether or not it's a ''Marauder'' or a ''Catapult'', and so flashed MAD CAT over and over whenever it showed up. Developed (and produced exclusively) by Clan Wolf, though most other Clans acquired them by trade or salvage during the century leading up to the invasion.		* '''''[[Timber Wolf\|Timber Wolf/Mad Cat]]''''' - The Clanners' most famous 'Mech.

	* '''''[[Mad Dog\|Mad Dog/Vulture/Hagetaka]]''''' - The Clan's OTHER most famous 'Mech. Basically the Timber Wolf's leaner, scrappy little brother, resembling the Inner Sphere's Archer. Follows the same basic concept of shoulder mounted missiles and arm mounted energy guns, but has a little more pod space in exchange for a lighter chassis and armor. Can hot-swap the LRMs for an absurd number of SRMs, [[What\|or its entire loadout for a pair of Gauss Rifles]]. First built by Clan Smoke Jaguar but most popular with the Ghost Bears.		* '''''[[Mad Dog\|Mad Dog/Vulture/Hagetaka]]''''' - The Clan's OTHER most famous 'Mech.

	In 2766 a guy named Stefan Amaris (ruler of the Rim World's Republic) launched a coup d'état while the majority of the SLDF was out fighting rebellions in the periphery, killing the young First Lord (along with the rest of the Cameron bloodline) and seizing control of the Terran Hegemony. This started a fourteen year long civil war called the [[Amaris Civil War]] in which the SLDF under the command of Aleksandr Kerensky dismantled his support base and moved to liberate the Terran Hegemony in spite of being cut off from resupply and limited support by the Five Great Houses. But while he did succeed in toppling Amaris' Asshole Regime, the Star League did not survive the fall of House Cameron and fell apart shortly afterwards. In spite of internecine infighting within the Great Houses, all agreed to strip Aleksandr Kerensky of his authority while secretly seeking to subvert the SLDF's individual regiments as recruits for their planned wars to claim the Star League's throne. War was on the horizon between the Great Houses but Kerensky was unwilling to seize power for himself or see his remaining army and fleet used in the looming conflict. As such he got the SLDF leadership together in secret and proposed something to save the Inner Sphere and themselves: leave the Inner Sphere and start up somewhere new. Most agreed and in 2785 a fleet loaded with some six million SLDF troops, their families (including Aleksandr's wife Katyusha and two sons Andery and Nicholas) and some folks with valuable skills left the inner sphere for greener pastures.

	After a two year long voyage through the unknown, with crowded ships pushed beyond their intended limits and taking care to cover their tracks, losses due to accidents, and an attempted mutiny they found some uninhabited planets beyond the Periphery known as the Pentagon Worlds. They set up shop, discharged most of their soldiers and began rebuilding their lives and establishing a bastion of the Star League in Exile. For about 15 years, it seemed to work. Ex-SLDF soldiers built homes, farms and towns, started families and businesses, and many of them found a measure of peace after a life of carnage. Unfortunately this was not universal and there were problems. Starting a new colony is a lot of hard work, especially when you were cut off from any resupply; meaning that any form of luxury or creature comfort was in short supply as resources were focused on making tractors, water purifiers and other such utilitarian gear. Similarly, once survival was achieved a fair number of people began to lose their sense of purpose and common identity. Some of the demobilized guys decided that they'd be better off forming their own petty kingdoms (many of which were based on old Inner Sphere loyalties, though there were others ruled by opportunistic warlords) and soon enough there was a big and brutal shit fight in 2800. The closest equivalent to the [[Succession Wars]] in Clan space before the [[Wars of Reaving]], they’d became known as the Pentagon Civil Wars. Aleksandr (already more than 100 years old) died heartbroken, leaving everything in utter disarray.
