Star Colonel Diane Perez was the commanding officer of the 267th Battle Cluster of Clan Smoke Jaguar, from at least 3052 to 3059.[1]

History[edit]

Tukayyid[edit]

Perez led the 267th Battle Cluster during the Battle of Tukayyid in 3052, fighting against the Com Guards' 367th Division in the Racice Delta as part of Beta Galaxy.[2] On 3 May 3052, Perez and her unit were screening the ranks of Beta Galaxy, under the command of saKhan Sarah Weaver, when Weaver was killed by a Com Guard artillery strike, following which Beta Galaxy retreated from Tukayyid.[3]

Meinacos[edit]

On 12 August 3059, Perez was still in command of the 267th Battle Cluster when it participated in the Jaguar counterattack in response to Operation BULLDOG, landing on the Draconis Combine world of Meinacos.

The 267th faced the Eighth Dieron Regulars, the St. Ives Cheveau-Légers, First Canopian Cuirassiers, and the Eleventh Alshain Avengers. Though the Clan unit fought well, they couldn't hope to survive when the Eleventh Alshain distracted them, luring away portions of their command while the Eighth Dieron drove into the Cluster's flank in Tierra del Noche and the Canopian Cuirassiers threatened to cut off the Clan unit's retreat. Diane Perez pulled her forces back to the mountains to regroup; receiving the retreat order, they boarded their DropShips and left without further engagement.[4]
