History
The Twelfth Talon Cluster was the primary defense force for the Jade Falcon capital world Ironhold.[1] [2] After the Refusal War the Twelfth was spared the reassignment of troops common to other garrison units. Despite their honorable task, the unit was not well equipped for combat outside of Trials, and Falcons assigned to the Inner Sphere held them in contempt.[3]
In November 3069 the Vipers launched assaults against Jade Falcon holdings in the Homeworlds. The Twelfth Talon was destroyed fighting against Alpha Galaxy on Ironhold.[4]
