Especially when you look at what he did to Ryan Stiener, he took the time to have him assassinated but didn't ignored Morgan's death.
Theres a lot about the Jihad that just stinks, more so when you look at the history and realize that this sort of thing doesn't often make it outside of the borders of it's parent state, I could see it ripping up the FWL and Chaos March but beyond that they couldn't have gotten much done.

From what i have read, alot of new games have tried Dark Age, but since its introduction its fan base has wained considerably, people really dont like shelling out loads of money on booster packs when they don't even know if they will get something they already have.
In fact what people have been doing is getting into dark age, realising its actually a very shallow and poorly thought out game, and those that have a sufficient interest in the universe have begun joining the classic battletech universe. Theres a large gaming shop and rooms in a town near me and the guy that runs it has seen a large increase in the amount of people asking about battletech after tarting with Dark Age, He has sold twice as many starter sets since the release of DA than through all the years where Classic was on its own.
Its good news, its also a pain in the backside for me because now i have got more people buying his Mini's! I'll never get my Bushwacker!

I do like the way the mini in the DA are. Don't get me wrong. I love my CB pewter mechs, But you have to handle them with care. While the DA ones are far more durable. And some even look pretty kewl.
But's mostly because of my kids, who tend to get into daddy's things.
But I totally hate the whole collectable idea. To me, It's a sleazy way to get more money out of a gaming system.

| Ok, to explain it in a nutshell, the Diamond Sharks changed their name back to Sea Fox due to the threat of the other clans wanting to beat the crap out of them for giving in to the Inner Sphere mechantile ways and selling Clan tech freely to them. And as it turns out, before the other clans could actually go about anhilating them, they found a minor loophole in that, were they to change their name back and thus become Clan Sea Fox once more, they could save their asses and live to sell another day. And actually, they did introduce the Sea Fox to a IS planet or 2 if I remember correctly.

Well, that would mean I had to read some of the DA crapola to get the right ideas for it so I didn't pull the same 'shat my pants cause I'm too stupid to do my research' mistake the DA authors have done to our wonderful universe.

OH, I feel much better about Dark Age now 
You know, there's a whole other soapbox speech there. But I really do not think I need to go on how bad they are, When writing like that. pretty much proves the point.
But thank you ShadowKing. Now I have the whole story  (such as it is)

As if the clans were well written to start with...

Tread lightly spheroid. DO NOT make me get back up on the soapbox and talk are about a certain daughter who killed a certain mother to take a certain throne only to have certain brother come and take it with a certain war. and now that certain daughter is with a certain clansman doing certain things that are certainly better left left untold. 
Actually, you are correct. many clans are not well written.
