1. clans

   A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived kinship and descent. Even if lineage details are unknown, clans may claim descent from founding member or apical ancestor. Clans, in indigenous societies, tend to be endogamous, meaning that their members can marry one another. Clans preceded more centralized forms of community organization and government, and exist in every country. Members may identify with a coat of arms or other symbol to show that they are an independent clan. Kinship-based groups may also have a symbolic ancestor, whereby the clan shares a "stipulated" common ancestor who serves as a symbol of the clan's unity.

   In the fictional BattleTech universe, the Clans a warrior-based civilization founded by the self-exiled remnants of the Star League Defense Force, who were led by their founder General Aleksandr Kerensky into the Deep Periphery to fleet the collapse of the Star League. There they evolved into an extremely aggressive and warlike society, founded on selective breeding and ritualized warfare, and dedicated to one day return to former Star League space and reunite humanity - which they first attempted in a massive invasion 250 years after their initial exodus.
