And in 3072, they started the Wars of Reaving, which ended with themselves being "reaved" (Annihilated). Rather like Robespierre and his Reign of Terror.
Eh, they were one of the biggest dicks of the clans. To me, they were behind Jade Falcon and Smoke Jaguars. Star Adder were cooler (and more level-headed).
Neat. That is a shame though. Unrelated, today I feel like Robespierre. I am killing off toxic "friendships" . Many a "friend" has met my Razor. What's funny is that I have been only answering to Robespierre today...and then I find this comment.. Neat.. I think I am on the right track. Interesting Trivia, when the Revolution ate Robespierre, when he heard the soldiers coming for him, the coward didn't have the stones to actually kill himself, although he tried. He had the gun in his mouth but chickened out at the last moment and blerw out his cheek instead. He was beheaded with a big ole bandage around his head. He couldn't even speak in his own defense. As if what he did was defensible at all. I believe that today I have tasted the madness of those that conduct purges.
Man, if only you narrated the battletech books. You sir, would make a killer audio book. Im just saying. Thanks for all the Lore videos CR. Appreciated, buddy. Keep up the fantastic work.
As a Brazilian, finding out that the Steel Vipers' founder, Antonius Zalman, was not just a fellow Brazilian (albeit a Paulista) AND a history professor who then neglected to give his new snake Clan's insignia at the least a cigar made me a bit sad. Leave to the Paulista to let a golden opportunity just slip away like that...
It has come to mind that I should update or re-record some series given their age. LoreWarrior is one I am planning on one day going through again with a different style.
Awesome one mate, I've always had a soft spot for the Vipers, they defy categorisation and are full of quirky contradictions. On the field they have some cracking Mechs which are really deadly, the Goshawk (Vapour Eagle) and Viper (Black Python) are a perfect blend of speed, armour, heat efficiency and the pulse laser-targeting computer combo never disappoints on the offensive front.
Huh. Never heard of the Crossbow, before. Not a bad-looking design; too bad we'll probably never see them in MWO, since they're early-era omnimechs and the Clans don't field those very often in the 31st century.
+Irondrone4 The Nova and Viper are also considered 'early' omnimechs and they both still see use. Steel Viper kept updating the Crossbow and Battle Cobra over the decades as well.
Believes in forging a new Star League through cooperation, does not cooperate with anyone.

Yeah shame they vanished since I quite liked them over other clans.

+VendingMachine Thanks :) Not sure if catalyst game labs would ever hire me for narration, but it's a nice thought.
11/10 would listen tho
Well, Razorfist as narrated two unabridged ones now.

This might be old content, but this was well done, you should really redo this series, no joke. I've enjoyed listening to your stuff

Of the 7 invading clans, Clan Steel Viper is firmly #5.

+Irondrone4 I wouldn't rule out a totem 'mech pack one day that has things like the Battle cobra in so the crossbow could make it one day.
Awwwh shit! Another Critial rocket video. Quality as always
I love this series.
I can't think of anything written about this clan outside of the invading clans source book.
+Mike George All of the info for this lorewarrior came from "the clans: warriors of kerensky"
steel viper is dead. and my coyote endured.
akiraguy
Managed to kill themselves off with their own plan to "clean up" the Clan Home Wolrds.
my dudes!
I love you so much right now.
Steel Viper Clan.
Viper mech pre order available.
+Ishy OQGX And the viper isn't even a Steel viper 'mech which surprised me originally.
+Critical Rocket I have much lore to learn.
either my brain is stuck in the nastiest gutter or steel viper really does sound like a brand of female sex aid
No, you're just an idiot. No wonder your family always ignores you.
Wow, these guys have to be the most boring clan.
There's nothing but their Totem going for them.
