Mercenary Clan Registry number # 5253
"The power is in our hands"
 |
| FUSION banner created by Gary Allsop |
Although Fusion is not one of the veteran clans, this unit has carved a niche in the history of the galaxy as one of the most powerful units of its time, and in the history of the Mech competitions achieving an unbeatable record during twenty five years (sixteen of them as Fusion and nine as Juggernaut).
Under the name of Fusion, they repeated the record of the RND faction, by becoming unbeatable through twelve consecutive Clan Wars in which they conquered the Gold of the Champions in the First Division Mech-Olympus, and which continued after 3320 after becoming under the Juggernaut Flag with another nine (9) golds.
FOUNDATION
The clan was created in 3303 by the legendary Kristopher Fleet, Don Davis and Gary Allsop.
Prior to the founding of Fusion, this triumvirate constituted a part of the planning and strategy staff for The Brotherhood. When the former commander-in-chief of the Brotherhood, the legendary pilot Thodoris Liolios abandoned the leadership of the old and big faction and withdrew, the influential Brotherhood official Deborah Roaché-Hudak took control of the faction.
Between the new leadership of the Brotherhood and these three pilots there were frictions and disagreements that led them to leave the Brotherhood to create their own group in the First division.

ACHIEVEMENTS

Fusion was intended to fight another legendary clan on Division One: CyberStorm, however, that unit disbanded the previous year, after a Faction War, disabling the eventual clash between both titans.

In 3320 One of the foundational triumvirate members, the legendary Gary Allsop, known as the strongest pilot of the moment, decided to leave the competition and permanently retired from public scene. As the Fusion members lost one of their three Core Founders, they felt like this was the end of the Fusion eve. They gave the Fusion Flag as honour haven for Gary and started a new clan, named after long thinking as Juggernaut.
EVENTS CONCERNING FUSION
The Fission Project - A Prospective Clan (3313 - 3317)
In 3313, Sal Vezzosi led the creation of a secondary clan for the Second Division, in which Fusion could bake future new members for their core unit.The success of this unit was below the expectations created, although the project was not entirely bald and Fusion managed to experience some new strategies with this unit.
Andy Conover was the most outstanding member of this unit, where he reached the zenith of his career as a Legendary pilot, before passing away and receive the honours of the entire Mech Pilots society.
The mediocre result of the Clan Tournament of 3317 supposed the cancellation of the Fission's Project.
From the whole Fission clan, Fusion finally took a single pilot, Walter Doman, who joined the core team in the First Division in 3318.
The Unification War (3315 - 3317)
Between 3315 and 3317, the mercenary clans, led by illustrious and mighty clans like Fusion, Zeon, Dragons, AFF, Brotherhood and many others, repelled various attempts of invasion to our galaxy from a mass force called "Unification".
Unification came from a galaxy of an alternative dimension to ours, in which our history and inhabitants had a distorted reflection that had followed a different course.
This menace happened to be the mirrored image that Fusion adopted in that alternative universe, which under the orders of General Conover (alternative twin of the Legendary Pilot Andy Conover, of Fission, the subsidiary Fusion's clan) was in pursuit of any trace of a major plague: Xeon, mirrored twins of the Zeon clan in our galaxy.
The Chroniode and ChronoPower (3319)
When the adventurer Harlan "Half Baked" Harrisson found in 3319 a Chroniode and created ChronoPower. he required the services of the most powerful of all the mercenary clans to provide security to his company. The Fusion's David Buchanan was assigned then as Executive Advisor and Head of Security.

THE JUGGERNAUT AGE
Juggernaut Foundation (3321)
Under the Juggernaut banner, the old guard of Fusion received two new members.
3322
- Bernard Johnson (Joined Juggernaut coming from Isle of the Misfit Toys MMI)
3326
- Michael Brown (Joined Juggernaut coming from Zeon)
Champions atop the Mercenary Clans
The unbeatable status of Fusion did not change now, under the name of Juggernaut, but it did their closer opponent, as Leviathan, heir of PhoenixStorm, raised as their new staunchest rival.
Every year, tournament after tournament, both titans of the First Division Olympus proved to be the undisputed masters and gods of the Mech world.
From 3321 until 3328, six Clan Wars and a couple Squad Wars have got celebrated, in which invariably Juggernaut conquered the gold and Leviathan took the silver in the top division.
After 3320, Fusion originates Juggernaut and PhoenixStorm originates Leviathan.
- 3321 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3322 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3323 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3324 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3325 (SW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3326 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3327 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
- 3328 (SW) Juggernaut, split in two Squads: Handheld Nuke (D1) and Hand Grenade (D2) won against their respective opponents, being in D1 Leviathan.
Dissolution of Juggernaut and the end of an Eve (3328)
On 3328, the competition turned to be a Squad War, in which Juggernaut dropped their name for registry purposes, as the clan split in two, to dominate both, First and Second divisions.
The Squad names adopted were Handheld Nukes (D1) and Hand Grenade (D2), and the selection of those names was prophetic, since one of the members, Sal Vezzosi, plotted a plan to drop out the two historical leaders of Fusion/Juggernaut, claiming their progressive withdrawal and diminishing supervision, arguments widely debatable, but that undoubtedly reduced the influence of these on the core of the clan.
Although some Juggernaut members remained loyal to Juggernaut and their former leaders, the clan was decimated, so Fleet and Davis allowed the loyalists to join the new created group, named as Warlock.
