| Well, now that we know they are not Clan Wolverine what are they? Do we have any facts on them besides they raided Kurita a few times? Clan scouts after the Dragoons quit reporting? Pirates? Abandoned plot device? |

When did the Minnesota tribe become non-Wolverine? |

They were WAYYYYY before the Dragoons.
I still like to think some of them went "south" and are still out there somewhere with mullets and bad fashion sense screaming WOLVERINES!!!!!!
and dreaming of raiding the MoC for "breeding" stock. Who would want to do that? |

| confusion on my part. I thought that since the Wolverines were part of the WoB that that had left the identity of the Minnesota Tribe unknown. So I figure all is explained in one of the Jihad books then? |

| Not really. Even the Wolverine stuff in the latest book is "unproven till confirmed elsewhere." |

Even if it is confirmed, perhaps some of the Wolverines continued on as the Minesotta Tribe, the legend could still be alive |

so what does the book say about them? That they were some sort of diversion? I really dont see how it connects.

Basically...
Wolverines leave Clan space.
About the time they'd hit the Inner Sphere, the "Minnesota Tribe (Isn't that name the IS's name for them, not necessarily their own name) hits the Kuritans on 4 worlds. After the story of the Wolverines comes out, the timing, as well as the Star League mechs, the advanced Star League cooling suit, and the Wolverine/Minnesota/331 patch pretty much confirms that it was the Wolverines. What happened after that, is unknown.
The Jihad Secrets book indicates that after they disappear, Comstar actually found them (instead of the report of no traces) and atleast part of the Wolverine remnants were brought to Mars where they eventually spread to the Hidden Worlds, and manipulated Comstar. All of this is speculation and possibly false information. |
