The defending troops of the [[3rd Alshain Regulars|Third Alshain Regulars]] had taken up defensive positions in the Cordivas Grotto. The Dragoons chose to wait instead of attempting a near suicidal assault on the Grotto. [[Tai-Sa]] Albert Brookhaven, the commander of the Regulars, realized he had a choice between starving and fighting. The Regulars made a dash for their DropShips situated to the south on the Filmore Steppes. In the running battle that ensued the Dragoons used a series of fast, mobile strikes to pin the Regulars before Trinary Assault arrived. The Seventh drove the Third Regulars off-world with heavy losses, destroying an entire battalion of 'Mechs before the Regulars could escape to [[Schuyler]].<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 65</ref><ref name=ER62-62>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 62</ref> ====Wave Three==== <u>Schuyler</u><br> The Dragoons followed the Third Alshain Regulars to Schuyler and bid the same forces in the attack in June 3050. Unknown to the Dragoons the Regulars had been resupplied and were not going to be caught out twice. The Regulars moved from point to point fighting a series of battles across the planet forcing the Dragoons to chase them expending energy and supplies. After a week of fighting, including a notable engagement was fought at Olasin Fjord, Sidney Nevversan was forced to break his bid and call in an additional Trinary. After a battle in the Mitsuhama Ridge the 3rd Alshain Regulars were once again driven off-world with moderate losses.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 66</ref> However later reports confuse this battle with that at Port Arthur.<ref name=ER62-62/> ====Wave Five==== <u>Luthien</u><br/> Alpha Galaxy landed on [[Luthien]] in January 3052, however, the Dragoons' part in the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|battle]] is not well documented despite Inner Sphere sources claiming that they took heavy casualties there.<ref name=ER62-62/><br><br/> <u>Port Arthur</u><br> [[saKhan]] [[Sarah Weaver]] and the [[Shroud Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Shroud Keshik]] accompanied the Seventh Dragoons as they dropped on to [[Port Arthur]] landing in the Zuave Vale in March 3052. The Smoke Jaguars immediately attacked the [[1st Proserpina Hussars|First Proserpina Hussars]] forcing them to fall back to defensive positions at Disher. Here the Jaguar attack stalled and Sarah Weaver ordered a headhunter attack that wiped out half the Hussars command units, but failed to eliminate their commanding officer ''Tai-sa'' Jong Moon Lee. It did however force a second retreat to Point aux Trembles, an area with automated turrets in hardened bunkers which stalled the Dragoons for over a week before they pushed the defenders off planet.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 69</ref> ====Tukayyid==== The Seventh Dragoons landed in the Dinju Heights along with the majority of Alpha Galaxy, while the [[6th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Sixth Dragoons]] made the initial combat drop on the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] Division closest to the landing zone.<ref>''Tukayyid'', p. 30: "Rain of Fire"</ref> With this threat eliminated Alpha Galaxy advanced on the City of Dinju Heights, the [[Jaguar Grenadiers (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar Grenadiers]] had won the right to lead the assault. As the fighting erupted in the Dinju Pass the Seventh Dragoons received orders to hold their position.<ref>''Tukayyid'', p. 35: "Ambush at the Dinju Pass"</ref> Unlike the Sixth Dragoons that continued to press the attack, the Seventh appear to have accepted the retreat order. Although some warriors did break formation and join the Sixth,<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 62: "Tukayyid: The Crucible"</ref> this and their fighting withdrawal still cost them heavy casualties before they boarded their DropShips.<ref name=ER62-62/> ===Post-Tukayyid=== [[File:Galaxy Epsilon (Clan Smoke Jaguar) logo.png|150px|right|thumb|Insignia of Epsilon Galaxy]] After Operation Revival the Seventh Jaguar Dragoons were transferred to Epsilon Galaxy and based on [[Tarazed]] in 3054 within the Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 34</ref> ===Operation Bulldog=== ====Operation Bird Dog==== As part of a clandestine campaign, the Donegal Vanguards -- a company sized unit from the Third Donegal Guards -- dropped onto Tarazed in May 3059. The Seventh Dragoons hunted the Donegal Vanguards down, but were still dealing with the last few elusive units when the main assault from Operation Bulldog hit the world.<ref>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 8–9</ref> ====Wave One==== The 7th Dragoons offered ''[[safcon]]'' to the [[SLDF|Second Star League]] forces that arrived in-system, not realizing how much force they faced. As the [[1st St. Ives Lancers|First St. Ives Lancers]], the [[2nd Genyosha|Second Genyosha]] and the [[3rd Donegal Guards|Third Donegal Guards RCT]] landed in the Krychek Mountains, the 7th's commander Sidney Nevversan realized the situation his command was in, and moved it away towards the Mosaikan Canyon Preserve in the hope of utilizing the network of canyons as defensive terrain. Light elements of the Second Genyosha saw the movement and reacted quicker than Nevversan thought possible, hitting the Dragoons' supply convoys hard while they were on the move. The Third Donegal Guards RCT compounded the Jaguars' problems, arriving at the canyons before the Dragoons and cut them off from the Preserve. As the First St. Ives Lancers advanced they caught an isolated Star of OmniMechs. [[Kai Allard-Liao]], the Lancers' commander, challenged the Smoke Jaguar Star Captain to a Trial of Possession for her command, which he won. The Lancers then continued their assault and the remaining portion of the 7th was completely destroyed.<ref>''Grave Covenant'', p. 258</ref><ref>''The Dragon Roars'', p. 15</ref> However, the Jaguars' JumpShip and two of their DropShips managed to flee the system.<ref name=ER62-62/> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 7th Jaguar Dragoons''' |- | [[Star Colonel]]||[[Sidney Nevversan]]||304? - [[3059]]<ref name=ER62-62/> |- |} ===Other Officers=== * [[Star Captain]] [[Erlish Wirth]] led [[Trinary]] Command in 3059.<ref name=ICp72>''Invading Clans'', p. 72</ref> * Star Captain [[Delia Nevversan]] led Trinary Assault in 3059.<ref name=ER62-62/> * Star Captain [[Jose Osis]] led Trinary Battle in 3059.<ref name=ER62-62/> * Star Captain [[Alfa Bowen]] led [[Binary]] [[Elemental]] in 3059.<ref name=ER62-62/> * Star Captain [[Peter]] led Trinary Striker in 3059. ==Tactics== They are masters of the running battle. ==Composition History== ===3050=== ''(partial)'' * [[Trinary]] Command * Trinary Assault * [[Binary]] [[Elemental]] ===3058=== *[[Trinary]] Command **Alpha Command [[Nova (unit)|Nova]] (5 [[OmniMechs]], 25 [[Elemental]]s) **Bravo Command Nova (5 OmniMechs, 25 Elementals) **Charlie Fighter Star (10 [[OmniFighters]]) *Trinary Assault - (15 OmniMechs) *Trinary Battle - (10 OmniMechs, 25 Elementals) *[[Binary]] Elemental - (50 Elementals) *Trinary Striker - (15 OmniMechs)<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 72</ref> ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> Whenever two or more Stars of Dragoons are used, up to half may use ''Off Map Movement'' Dragoons only suffer a +1 modifier for shooting and running (instead of +2).<ref>''Era Report: 3062'', p. 144</ref> </div> ==Notes== * The Seventh Dragoons are not listed as fighting on Luthien in either ''Invading Clans'' or the ''Luthien scenario pack''. * Misidentified by [[Vlad Ward]] as the 7th Jaguar Hussars during [[Operation Bulldog]]<ref>''Grave Covenant'', p. 279</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> File:Clansmokejaguar7thjaguardragoons3050.PNG|''7th Jaguar Dragoons TO&E'' </gallery> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Dragon Roars]]'' * ''[[Era Report: 3062]]'' * ''[[Grave Covenant]]'' * ''[[Invading Clans]]'' * ''[[Luthien (scenario pack)|Luthien]]'' * ''[[Objective Raids]]'' * ''[[Tukayyid (scenario pack)|Tukayyid]]'' [[Category:Clan Smoke Jaguar Commands|Dragoons, 007]]
