'''Brendon Corbett''' was a warrior of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].<ref name="TDRp64">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 64</ref>

==History==
Brendon won the rank of [[Star Captain]] early in his military career, before earning his [[bloodname]] at the age of twenty four.  He was one of the many newly blooded warriors prepared for [[Operation REVIVAL]].  He was a natural 'Mech pilot able to exploit terrain and use his opponents' movements against them. He acknowledged his weakness was tactical and strategic planning, but studied long and hard to rectify this perceived deficiency.<ref name="TDRp64"/>

===Operation REVIVAL===
{{main|Operation REVIVAL}}
During the invasion of the Inner Sphere he commanded a [[Trinary]] of the [[6th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|6th Jaguar Dragoons]]. On Tukayyid it was Corbett that rallied the shattered [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha Galaxy]], rescued his ''sibkin'' [[Khan of Clan Smoke Jaguar|Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis]] and led the fighting withdrawal from the Dinju Heights.<ref name="TDRp64"/>

===Post-Tukayyid===
An indebted Lincoln Osis backed Brendon in his [[Trial of Position]] for [[Star Colonel]] in the re-forming 6th Jaguar Dragoons. Ever the ambitious warrior and with the good will of the [[ilKhan]], he petitioned for the re-formation of Alpha Galaxy and won the title of [[Galaxy Commander]] for himself.<ref name="TDRp64"/>

===Operation BULLDOG===
{{main|Operation BULLDOG}}
In August he took overall command of the Jaguar forces in the Inner Sphere after [[Mikhail Ward]] had proved ineffective; [[Jin Mehta]] had already been killed and [[Hang Mehta]] severely wounded during the counterattack. Brendon restricted the Jaguar tactics along a more defensive line, with disregard for Lincoln Osis' previous orders for aggressive action. This action alone saved the lives of many warriors and integrity of many Jaguar Clusters, allowing for a coordinated retreat once the withdrawal orders came.<ref name="TDRp64"/>

===Tranquil===
Galaxy Commander Corbett led the [[Jaguar's Spirit Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar's Spirit Keshik]] and the remains of the [[9th Jaguar Cavaliers (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|9th Jaguar Cavaliers]] from [[Marshdale]] to [[Tranquil]]. Here he linked up with the on planet garrison. Issuing a general order for troops to regroup at Tranquil with him, he awaited their arrival.<ref name="tuf"> ''Trial under Fire''</ref> Unfortunately for Corbett's plans an Inner Sphere force known as [[Damocles Commando]] hit Tranquil and engaged his forces in hit and run attacks. Fighting continued even after the results of the [[Great Refusal]] became known. Inner Sphere interceptions of Clan communications reported speculations that Corbett would be voted as the next Khan of the Smoke Jaguars.<ref name="tuf"/>

Galaxy Commander Corbett personally led a [[Star (Formation)|Star]] that forced the majority of the commandos off-planet in their only surviving DropShip. Turning his attention to the last surviving commando [[Inner Sphere Military Structure#Lance|lance]], he fought them for possession of a shuttle that the commandos required to escape. During this encounter his ''[[Dire Wolf (Daishi)|Dire Wolf]]'' was downed by concentrated fire, and he was presumed killed in action.<ref name="tuf"/>

==BattleMechs==
He piloted a ''[[Warhawk (Masakari)|Warhawk]]'' during Operation BULLDOG<ref name=TDRp64/> and a ''[[Dire Wolf (Daishi)|Dire Wolf]]'' on Tranquil.<ref name="tuf"/>
