Juggernaut

[Legendary Clan]


Mercenary Clan Registry number # 6176

Clan banner, by Gary Allsop


FOUNDATION

The clan was created in 3321, as a reforge of the legendary champion on the Division One known as Fusion.

When in 3319 Gary Allsop, one of their three historical founders, decided to permanently retire as a Mech pilot, the other Founders wanted to preserve the memory of Fusion as a memorial for Allsop, so that the clan continued in active with a new name and banner: Juggernaut

In Old Terra, a juggernaut was for the Hind culture, a mercilessly destructive and unstoppable force. The word derived from Sanskrit "Jagannatha" (world lord), which was one of the names that the god Krishna received in the ancient Sanskrit Sagas.

As this unit was created from an unbeatable crew capable to lead the whole of the mercenary clans mass to nuke the hell away from the galaxy, they chose such a name.

Tournaments Records

The unbeatable nature of Fusion continued now as Juggernaut and with them, another new name raised among the clans as their closer opponent and rival: Leviathan.

During eight whole years, from 3321 until 3328, Juggernaut became the champion, conquering the gold with no clan that could contest their power, despite Leviathan was close in a couple Wars.

  • 3322 (CW) Juggernaut won against Leviathan
  • 3323 (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.

THE SUNSET OF JUGGERNAUT (3328)

After the Squad Wars of 3328, Juggernaut was led by two Leaders, Kristopher Fleet and Don Davis, who were both, founders of Fusion and Juggernaut as the natural heir of Fusion (keeping almost the former crew, with the loss of a couple members and the incorporation of some others). After so many years of activity, they seemed to be increasingly distant from the public scene.

This feeling led to their most active political member, Sal Vezzosi, who had gained social influence within Juggernaut while the former leaders had lost it, given their apparent distance, managed to persuade almost half of the Juggernaut members to follow him in a new unit, leaving apart the former leaders and in fact, giving a coup d'etat. 

This action supposed the end of an eve of domination in the top division of the Mech Tournaments that started in 3303 and culminated in 3318 with a balance of more than 20 gold medals.

The new resulting group, Warlock, could in many ways be considered as the continuator of Fusion and Juggernaut, except for the fact of having lost their alma mater.
