Larkinson Clan

The Larkinson Clan was a clan founded by Ves Larkinson after a large number of larkinsons split from the Larkinson family due to friction between Ves and Ghanso Larkinson as well as the rise in differing ideals and ambition as a result of Ves Larkinson's success in the Mech Design industry, the Larkinson Clan is connected through spiritual bonds centered around the Larkinson Mandate and the spiritual entity named the "Golden Cat".

The top leaders such as are the chief ministers, General Quinlist Verle, Director Calabast Arnlest, Director Ranya Wodin, Director Raella Larkinson, Commander Casella Ingvar, the other legion commanders and Chief Shipwright Vivian Tsai. There are also members of attached organizations such as Chairwoman Calsie Doornbos of the Open Consortium and Director Samandra Avikon of the Creation Association also received invitations to attend the meeting. With members of the Larkinson Assemblymen such as Ovrin Larkinson and Caratan Larkinson.

The Larkinson clans fist battle lin

eup was about 1,000 Sentinels and 500 avatars. Later Task Force Predator entered the Nyxian Gap. With a mech roster that consists of roughly 600 Avatars, 500 Sentinels, 160 Battle Criers, 140 Vandals, 40 Swordmaidens and 400 Penitent Sisters. With over sixty vessels, most of which consisted of light carriers, the Larkinsons approached the Nyxian Gap.

Shortly after Ves marriage to Gloriana, Larkinson clan joined forces with Cross clan to form the Golden Skull Alliance, in preparation to explore Red Ocean.

Larkinson Clan expanded greatly later by taking in people from LRA(Life Research Association), Heaven Sword Association and Purnesse Family with total population reaching close to two hundred thousand members. The Purnesses are diplomats who loyally served the Grand Loxic Republic for many generations, but as soon as an old opponents tried to erase there existence, the Hegenarion Party did nothing to rescue them. They are now the core of diplomacy in the Larkinsons.

In the red ocean the clan picked up Wild Torch with a total mech capacity of 650 she is a heartland-level fleet carrier and 36 combat carriers that led to an operational mech capacity of at least 3800 mechs.

With several years to go before the kickoff of the Trailblazer Expedition, all of the parties involved had plenty of time to prepare beforehand. The latest estimates was that the Larkinson Clan was aiming to field 10,000 mechs from the main fleet. Originally, the Larkinson Clan planned to leave 10,000 to 20,000 branch members behind once the main fleet made its way out. This was a respectable number that could fully keep the production facilities running, but the amount of troops that could defend the Cat Nest would be slightly insufficient. But they could hired tens of thousands more personnel with most of them focused on defense and local field operations, then the Cat Nest would still be able to function as a formidable fortress. They have become a clan that encompasses over half a million members with over 2000 mechs rolling out of the production lines each standard day.

Of the more than 1.3 billion MTA merits earned by the Golden Skull Alliance, the Larkinson Clan received 40 percent of the share. This amounted to an incredible sum of 537,360,124 MTA merits, Combined with the amount they already had in reserve it over 660 million MTA merits. After the mission the clan has expanded its population to 500,000 clansmen, of which the majority reside in our growing fleet while the remainder have chosen to live a more steady life in Davute.

When Venerable Ark Larkinson became a formal member of the Larkinson Clan and Vice Branch Director of the side branch, a few hundred original family members followed suit over the next few days. As for the original Larkinson Family, a modest group of retirees and stubborn fools agreed to settle down and take care of what little was left of this centuries-old institution. Tens of thousands of clansmen who were previously assigned to the main fleet had chosen to take up permanent residency in Davute. The Larkinson Clan would be transferring 5 expert pilots and their expert mechs to the new military mech division.
