GHOST BEAR

DISGRACE

The Not-Named Clan
It pains me to relate this chapter of our history, but it is as important as it is unfortunate. Every schoolchild knows of the Annihilation of the Not-Named Clan, so I will not repeat the account of that Clan's heresy. Many do not know, however, that a small portion of the Not-Named escaped the Annihilation, and my Clan was to blame.

The Ghost Bears desperately wanted the honor of destroying the Not-Named Clan. Khan Tseng was especially outraged at their rejection of the Grand Council's edicts; the Ghost Bears place the ilKhan as the father of the great Clan family, and to disobey the father so blatantly is unforgivable. When the honor of destroying the Not-Named went to Clans Wolf and Widowmaker, the Ghost Bears were shocked and angered beyond reason. Our founders agreed to abide by the Grand Council's decision, but not every Ghost Bear soldier followed their example.

In a cowardly effort to escape Annihilation, the forces of the Not-Named Clan split up into many small detachments and scattered to the far corners of Clan Space, each searching for enough supplies to allow them to survive away from civilization. On a small moon in the Arcadia system, a Ghost Bear patrol spotted a small band of Not-Named renegades taking supplies from a hidden stockpile. The patrol raised no alarm, and the renegades left Clan space unscathed. The patrol's commander, Star Captain Amon, revealed the incident years later on his deathbed, saying that it was not his place to raise the alarm. He stated flatly, "Hunting the Not-Named Clan was an honor denied us. Had the Wolves been truly determined to stop them, they would have. That they failed in their task was no concern of mine or my men's."

Content with this reasoning, Amon apparently felt no guilt. For the rest of our Clan, however, this episode is a shameful blot in an otherwise shining era. The wolves were outraged at the revelation, and launched raids against our holdings in retaliation. Bu the time our Khans calmed the situation in Council, the damage had been done. Clans wolf and Ghost Bear would forever bear a grudge against one another. Ever since then, despite official atonement, the shame cast on our Clan by Star Captain Amon is a stain on every Ghost Bear's personal honor. In addition to the ilKhan's condemnation of surviving Not-Named and their progeny, every Ghost Bear warrior, upon adoption into the warrior ranks, takes a solemn oath to hunt down any descendants of the Not-Named Clan that may ever surface, neglecting all other concerns until the task is finished.
