The Cluster found its postings as a garrison unit frustrating and often actively sought out bandit cells to raid and destroy. The competition to conduct these raids was high and the bidding fierce, which led to the [[Cluster]] holding the highest number of [[Trial of Grievance|Trials of Grievance]] in the Smoke Jaguar garrisons.<ref name=otp23>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 23</ref>

In [[3050]] the Reserve Cluster formed part of the garrison of [[Londerholm]]. In June of that year the [[Clan Ice Hellion|Ice Hellions]] attacked outposts held by both the Jaguars and [[Clan Coyote]]. The Commanding officer of the Coyotes offered to pool resources with the Smoke Jaguars to teach the Hellions a lesson; Star Colonel Chase Corbett agreed. Both Clans counterattacked and the Hellions were forced to pull back. The 212th Reserve Cluster pursued one Hellion unit towards the ruins of Vostock, the city the Jaguars had razed during the [[Londerholm Revolt|revolt]] in [[2912]]. The Hellion [[7th Attack (Clan Ice Hellion)| Seventh Attack Cluster]] and [[150th Hellion Lancers (Clan Ice Hellion)|150th Hellion Lancers]] took up defensive positions in the ruins. The memory of the revolt was still painful to the Smoke Jaguar warriors and they approached the ruins with caution bordering on superstition. They were joined by the Coyotes' [[67th Assault (Clan Coyote)|Sixty-seventh Assault Cluster]] that engaged immediately. As the battle began, it started raining, and as the rain increased so did the Ice Hellion casualties. A few Hellion warriors managed to slip away including [[Khan]] [[Stephen Tyler]] and his [[saKhan]] but the day was lost.<ref name=otp38>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 38</ref>

The Ice Hellions did manage to hold on to some of their newly won possessions on Londerholm, but two weeks after the battle a bandit raid targeted one of the enclaves killing Khan Tyler and maiming saKhan [[Danielle Lienet]]. Some speculated the Smoke Jaguars had leaked the intelligence to the bandits as a form of revenge, but no evidence existed to prove this.<ref name=otp38/>
