The '''Battle of Tukayyid''' was a significant turning point favoring Inner Sphere defenders during the [[Clan Invasion]] of the [[Inner Sphere]]. After the [[Com Guards]], which compose ComStar's military, defeated a combined force of the [[Clans]], the [[Truce of Tukayyid]] forbade the Clans from advancing toward Terra past the planet [[Tukayyid]] for the next fifteen years. The battle began on 1 May 3052 and ended 21 May that same year.

The battle also inflicted a heavy toll on the Clan leadership: two Khans were killed in combat ([[Garth Radick]] of the Wolves, and [[Sarah Weaver]] of the Jaguars), and a third resigned her post after ([[Natalie Breen]] of the Steel Vipers), and the Scorpion saKhan [[Ren Posavatz]] was MIA in the battle.<ref name="FMWCp107" /> These lost Khans represented almost a quarter of all Khans involved. Additionally, important ''ristars'' and probable future leaders died in the battle, such as [[Aidan Pryde]] of the Falcons. These losses changed the political balance of many of the invading Clans: the Steel Vipers turned almost exclusively into a Crusader Clan, and the Ghost Bears became more devoted to the Warden cause. The battle would be labeled by the Crusader Clans as "Tukayyid the Accursed," due to the near-annihilation of the Clan way of life and would rarely be spoken about among those in the warrior caste.

Some Clans never recovered to their prebattle levels, most notably Clan Smoke Jaguar. That was not only due to the high level of casualties they endured but also for their official policy to blame their surviving warriors for the defeat, as they also did with survivors of the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]]. But it must be noted that the high-level leaders, such as [[Lincoln Osis]] or [[Brandon Howell]], were excluded from this rule as well as other warriors with political influence. Most of the remaining Smoke Jaguar warrior caste, such as [[Russou Howell]], who survived Luthien, and [[Trent (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Trent]], saw their careers doomed. The survivors found themselves despised, their advice ignored, and their superiors needing but the flimsiest of excuses to brand them as ''[[solahma]]'', too old to serve in mainstream units.

Not all Clans reacted as strongly, though. [[Vlad Ward]], a later Khan of the Wolves, said that Tukayyid was a crucible, and only the warriors who survived to it would be eligible for election to [[ilKhan]].
