Editing Clan Invasion (section)

=== Wave Two: The Inner Sphere catches on ===
As the second wave began in earnest, the Inner Sphere at long last recognized that this particular problem was not going away, but was in fact getting much, much worse with each passing month, and while the Clans initially didn't see any major changes in their battle plans, they found that the Draconis Combine and the [[Federated Suns]] had struck an unprecedented truce to directly ignore each other and focus on the Clanners, starting with all of their very most elite units suddenly showing up to join the party.

Furthermore, the Clans (particularly Ghost Bear and Smoke Jaguar) were running into a big problem: it was becoming a logistical nightmare to drag all the supplies they needed all the way from the Clan Homeworlds in the Deep Periphery to the Inner Sphere for what was becoming an increasingly drawn-out invasion. While the Rasalhagues were tied up in indecision, they still managed to organise a resistance. On top of this, rebellions had been breaking out on conquered planets that had been assumed pacified, blindsided the over-honorable Clanners, forcing them to send valuable Stars away from the frontlines to subdue what they considered dishonorable rebels. After all, to a Clanner, civilians are supposed to just accept any new flag planted in their back yards. But despite these problems, the Clans marched forward, somehow only hampered slightly. They were starting to lose momentum, but still gaining world after world.

And there was one Clan who was going for the gold.
