1. Отличный рассказ, но перевод убил половину его прелести. Для лучшего понимания - большинство медведей на поле - дети, не прошедшие аттестацию.
2. Неназванный клан выкопал себе яму сам. Его конечно хотели подставить и все такое, но они как будто даже радовались этому и помогали подставлявшим всеми своими действиями. Хан неназванного клана сыграла свою роль на 300% - это она убила свой клан. То есть лопату ей конечно дали, но копала она сама.

Да, не для того совершался Исход и люди проходили через такие жертвы (и это после Амариса), чтобы в итоге хан-выскочка превратила всё предприятие в фарс. Не говоря о том, что она не поняла мечту Керенского и его виденье. О построении нового общества, о доктрине скрытой надежды.

Обвиняла в амбициях и властолюбии но сама руководствовалась именно этими чувствами. Пошла против главного постулата кланов - клан это всё, личное - ничто.

[Falconer]

Вообще-то ей было жалко делиться Брайен Кэшом 331-го Королевского. Ностальгия по папке, все такое.

[RJF_TwiceBorn]

Ну так как раз единоличие против Клана(ов) как целое налицо=)
Плюс попытка присвоить себе что-то, чего добился другой (пуcть в данном случае это даже её отец[ностальгия или нет...]), Керенский в этом отношении все привелегии отменил - только личные заслуги. (ну и бладрайт, за который, впрочем, тоже бороться надо)
В целом, она себе слишком много вольностей захотела.
Про варварское использование ядерного оружия и вовсе промолчу.

[Falconer]

твайс там с ЯО вообще мутная история
если мне не изменяет память, то это ракета с корабля промахнулась и долбанула
ну или как-то так или типа того

[RJF Volkodav]

ЯО применяли Вдоводелы и Снежные Вороны. Вдоводелы подорвали бомбу в городе Неназываемого Клана - свалив вину за уничтожение гражданских на хана Неназываемых. Снежные Вороны атаковали шедший на таран корабль неназываемых ядерным оружием, чтобы спасти свой флагман. Ракета прошла мимо и ушла в атмосферу планеты, ударив по их же городу. Эта атака, была также приписана Неназываемым. И, несмотря на то, что они пренебрегли законами Кланов и решили пойти своим путем - сражались они с честью, ни разу ей не поступившись.

Но они нарушили единство...
Those who break faith with the unity shall go down into darkness
Эти слова сказал Николай Керенский, отдавая приказ об уничтожении Клана Неназываемых.

вроде не так было... Это вы все в переводе прочитали? :-)

про таран и промахнувшуюся ракету - точно в оригинале было

Khan Jason Karrige of Clan Widowmaker looked at the commu-
nication he had received from Circe, and allowed himself a private
smile. Things had not been going according to plan as of late. He
had hoped that Sarah McEvedy would have had the courtesy and
honor to die during the Trial of Refusal that had killed saKhan
Robertson. Still, seeing his old acquaintance weary and crippled
made her appear weak in the eyes of the other Khans. Who am I
kidding, she is weak. The report from his handful of operatives on
Circe made the Wolverines even weaker. If all went as he hoped, he
would not have to finish off McEvedy…the Grand Council would
do it for him. His Widowmakers would simply have to mop up the
remains.
What he had on Circe was insurance.
He knew that McEvedy would overreact about the decision to
divvy up the Brian Cache. That was why he had sneaked in two
of his own Warriors disguised as Wolverines. McEvedy and her
Warriors never saw it coming, never saw the threat that the tacti-
cal nuclear weapons posed. The two infiltrators had penetrated
the bunker and smuggled out one of the nuclear warheads.

Nicholas had other ideas. “Why are you slowing, Khan Karrige?
You have won the bidding to fight the Wolverines here. Victory as-
sures you will absorb them. Go, now, into battle. Show them what
a real Clan Warrior is!” The ringing of Nicholas’s voice over the
comm channel was a nagging reminder of what he had to do.
Checking his long-range sensors, he adjusted them to the maxi-
mum range. Khan Karrige was looking for a signal, a special signal.
He knew it was there, in Great Hope, because he had ordered it
there. A final present for the Wolverines. The final nail in their cof-
fin. After this, absorption will be the last thing on anyone’s mind.
He switched to his NBC sensors. Nuclear, Biological, and
Chemical sensor sweeps would tell a story, even several kilome-
ters away. There! There it was. His Warriors had done their job.
Their mission had been simple…sneak the nuclear warhead out
of the Brian Cache and smuggle it into the city. The two Warriors
would remain with it. If confronted, they had Wolverine infantry
uniforms, and would easily pass a cursory inspection. The war-
head was armed and tied to a firing code on his battlecomputer.
It was going to be a glorious show…and Nicholas has a front row
seat.

Керридж перед подрывом города. И подрыв:

“IlKhan, we are about to begin our assault,” Khan Karrige said.
His fingers entered the code into the battlecomputer; zero-alpha-
zero-bravo, zero, zero, one. His finger hovered over the transmit
button. He silenced his own microphone in his neurohelmet. His
Widowmakers rose up over the crest of the hill. He himself moved
his ’Mech slightly to face the city of Great Hope.
“With this, I drive a stake in the heart of the cancer that is at-
tempting to devour our people.” He hit the button, and a new sun
erupted on the surface of Circe only a dozen kilometers away. It
was oddly silent as the nuclear burst rose upward and seared the
ground with brilliant, man-made sunlight. There was a cracking
noise, like lightning in a summer storm—followed by a roar of a
thousand dropship engines flaring at once.

А рейвены?

Ошибка Воронов:

The Clans had not used nuclear weapons before in battle, even in
the vicious campaigns to reclaim the Pentagon Worlds. Now she
was going to be unleashing them. An eye for an eye. Her people
had trained for using them, but never a live fire exercise.
“Raven Actual, this is Angel One. We are loaded and primed.
Requesting you send the authorization code for launch.”
Joyce’s hand hovered over the comm panel. The secured chan-
nel was locked onto Angel One. She keyed her authenticode
sequence and sent the launch code. “Angel One, this is Actual. I
show you hot.”
“Roger that, Raven Actual. The pickle is hot.” His words were
drowned out by a blaring siren. Red lights flashed everywhere
on the bridge. “Sitrep!” she called across the bridge of the
Avalanche.

“This is Angel One, Actual. We are under fire. I have taken a hit.
Repeat, I have taken a hit. Angel One is still operational. I am going
to dive down into the lower atmosphere and shake this warship.
Angel One requests that you park yourself between us that that
battlewagon—Khan. Commencing our run now.”
“Roger, Angel One. Good hunting. Pay them back for their strike
on Great Hope.” Her voice was cut off by a low rumble and the
ship quaking around her

She nodded. Looking out the main viewscreen she watched as
the Bismark’s naval PPC’s fired again. This time they were not
locked onto the Avalanche, but on another distant target. Angel
One. “Sensors. Lock onto Angel One. Give me his status.”
The officer worked fast and furious at the controls. He looked
up with a drained expression on his face. “Angel One is off the
board.”
Her eyes widened. “Any signal from his payload?”
The operator stabbed at buttons and controls furiously. “Sweet
Kerensky…” he muttered. There was a distant but brilliant flash
from the planet below. “Nuclear detonation on Circe.” From the
viewport on the bridge, the bright, white flash was somewhat
diffused from orbit. It looked as if a hurricane had suddenly ap-
peared, a dark purple/black storm of carnage and destruction. A
sick, black circle of the storm appeared on the surface and began
to spread out. Flickers of red and orange appeared on the black—
fires—negative—infernos erupting below. The ground seemed to
bubble sickly. It was as if a tornado of fire rose up stabbing into
space.
“He did it,” she said unconsciously.
“Negative, sir,” the sensor operator called out. His face was
pale.
“Negative?”
“Payload was dropped and detonated off-target,” his voice wa-
vered.
“Where?”
He hesitated as the color drained from his face leaving a white
visage of the Snow Raven officer. “It has detonated as an airburst
over Dehra Dun.”
“Our capitol? Query negative?”
“Affirmative, Khan,” the man said as if he were on the verge

Правда может это было не противокорабельное оружие, а бомба, которой приказали накрыть силы Неназываемого Клана. Но в результате промаха из-за повреждений корабля оружие попало по городу Воронов.

Про таран флагмана - мой фейл. Этот эпизод был позже - когда Кланы догнали флот Неназываемых. Читал давно - маленько перемешалось в голове .
