History[edit]

REVIVAL[edit]

The Ninth Talon were joined by the Third Falcon Talon in a surprise attack on Barcelona in March 3050. The Seventeenth Skye Rangers RCT counterattack halted the advance until the Third's Star Colonel Devon Hazen broke the bid to call in the Falcon Guards and the combined force dislodged the defensive positions around the capital.[1]

Also in March 3050, light OmniMech elements of the Ninth joined the Turkina Keshik in destroying the Second Regiment of the 12th Star Guards and the three mixed regiments of the Toland Defense Force on Toland.[2]

In 3055, elements of the cluster (approximately a Trinary in strength) took part in the invasion of Borghese in the Federated Commonwealth, nominally under the invitation of the Borghese government, which had been overthrown in a violent coup. This plot was foiled by the mercenary Black Thorns, that surprised the Falcons and ultimately drove them from the planet. [3] Also in 3055, Star Captain Nerran McKenna was prohibited from returning to the Clan Homeworlds to handle some McKenna Bloodname issues. This led to a rupturing of Clan Snow Raven/Clan Jade Falcon relations.[4]

Post Refusal War[edit]

The Ninth was assigned to garrison Butler in 3067.[5]

After the Jihad ended, the Ninth Talon was stationed on Colmar. They spent most of their time there and grew lazy and complacent. They were totally unprepared for an assault on Trell I and the resulting counterattack by Clan Hell's Horses. This failure was exactly the motivation they needed to improve, and two years later they were considered one of the preeminent Clusters in the Falcon touman. During the internal political conflict between Jana Pryde and Malvina Hazen, the Ninth supported Khan Pryde. However, once Malvina defeated Pryde, the Ninth was a loyal unit.[6]

In 3139 the Ninth faced elements of Clan Wolf-in-Exile on Sargasso.[7] They drove the Wolves away, but the fighting cost them many warriors, including Star Colonel Yaroslav.[6] They faced the Second Wolf Guards Grenadiers Cluster. The Ninth lost much of its AeroSpace Fighter support to accurate fire provided by the Second's Aesir AA tanks.[8] Sargasso's population was restive in 3142 and the Ninth was assigned to cow the population. The citizens were supported by Clan Wolf-in-Exile troops, but the Ninth was able to force the Wolves off world and put down the insurrection.[9]
