Overview
The First Jaguar Guards was a front line Cluster of the Clan Smoke Jaguar.
History
Operation Revival
The First Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave One
Almunge
The Almunge Cadet Infantry Battalion faced off against Alpha Battle Star of Trinary Battle in the Sculyan Hills when the Guards attacked Almunge in April 3050. Though totally outclassed the Cadets fought hard for every inch of ground, managing to destroy one 'Mech, and severely damage two others before their own mounting casualties forced them to surrender. The survivors were made bondsmen by a grudgingly impressed Star Captain Chrisholm.[1][2]
Wave Three
Albiero
The Guards landed at Dartson ridge on Albiero in July 3050 and were immediately attack by the Eighth Albiero Militia trapping them with artillery strikes until Trinary Striker broke out and eliminated the artillery unit with a daring charge. When the Militias command unit was ambushed and destroyed by Trinary Command the Militia Regiment broke and fled into the Little Hills area, some forming guerilla units.[3]
Wave Five
Luthien
The Guards participated in the Battle of Luthien when they landed on the Tairakana Plains, almost immediately their defenses were probed by DCMS scout forces. Within two hours and suffering under air attacks they were advancing towards three Kurita regiments drawn up on the shores of Basin Lake. As the Guards pushed the attack they found themselves trapped in a vibrobomb minefield amidst exploding Q-Mechs. In the chaos the real Kurita Units attacked forcing the clan unit to fall back. The Guards regrouped and smashed through the defenders line pushing for the Capital city, but were eventually worn down and forced to withdraw. [4] [5]
Tarazed
Landing on Tarazed in April 3052 Trinary Assault and Trinary Battle launched a ferocious assault against the defending 7th and 13th Tarazed Armoured Regiments in the area of Lucerne swiftly defeating them. [6]
Tukayyid
The Guards landed in the Racice Delta and quickly became bogged down. The swamps of the Delta proved excellent defensive grounds hiding ComStar 'Mechs and booby-traps. After three days fighting saKhan Weaver was killed and Beta Galaxy ordered to retreat by ilKhan Ulric Kerensky. [7] The First Jaguar Guards were shattered during this battle and Mikhail Ward was their sole surviving officer.[8]
Post Tukayyid
The Guards were stationed on Avon in 3054 within easy striking distance of the Draconis Combine border. [9]
Operation Bulldog
Wave Two
- Avon - The Second Star League attacked Clan Nova Cat before turning its attention against the unprepared Guards. Seeing collusion between the Cats and the Inner Sphere forces they fought a defensive withdrawal and retreated in good order to Outer Volta. [10]
Wave Three
- Outer Volta - The Guards had sent their naval and transport assets to support the 267th Battle Clusters' assault on Meinacos leaving them trapped on the planet. Here they were attacked by the 8th Sword of Light, 39th Division (ComStar) and Izanagi Warriors; surrounded and wiped out. [11]
