The unit of the heir was positioned in the defence of the capital. The remaining forces was arrayed in an long battle line. The initial plan was that massed fire should damage the main force of the jaguar. The conventional forces had the task to support the mechs in the battle from the rear and the flanks. The invaders used their advanced weapons to destroy many mechs, because the fighter killed a hole tank unit. The infantry of the DCMS had no change against the following Elementals. Hohiro realised the situation of his regiment and give an retreat order. The last battalion set traps and ambushes when ever possible, even in the streets of the capital. As response to such tactics the Jaguar killed many civilian to catch the remaining defenders. The losses were horrendous. The legion surrender, but the local yakuza start an uprising under the prisoners. During the folloing chaos prince could escape. The Jaguars were furious about the situation and give order for the orbital bombardment of Edo. Nothing remained, only ruins. <ref>Invading Clans p.56</ref>

The last point was that the galaxy commander thougth his opponents were green troops, the truth was he faced to elite regiment in form of the Genyosha.  The clan troops landed in a swamp area. Unnoticed by the clan warrior there the savanah master wait for their prey. After the landing the assault began. First the hovercraft harassed the flanks and rear. The cluster tried to follow them but 3 companies of heavy mech have over opinions of that. LRM fire and continuied raids at the flanks confused the clan warrior further. After several hour the Galaxy Commander asked for safcon, which were granted. The DCMS received their booty in form of 4 omnimechs and 24 Battle Armors. The clan leader was executed by one of his on subordinate. The Jagaurs had sworn to never attack the world again. <ref>Invading Clans p.57-58 </ref>

The Clan Invasion (known to the Clans as Operation Revival) refers to the massive Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere, commencing with the arrival of Clans Jade Falcon, Wolf, Ghost Bear, and Smoke Jaguar in the near, coreward Periphery (The Rift and The Draconian Drift) in August, 3049. The Clan Invasion would continue for two and one-half years, and increase in scope to include three more Invading Clans, but would end with the the Battle of Tukayyid in June, 3052.

Overview

Following the death of ilKhan Leo Showers over Radstadt in 3050, "reserve" Clans Steel Viper and Nova Cat were added ostensibly to "aid" the efforts of Clans Jade Falcon and Smoke Jaguar, while a seventh Clan, Clan Diamond Shark, did not mobilize in time to "aid" Clan Ghost Bear. However, the additions of these reserve Clans were actually meant to hinder the progress by Clan Wolf's rivals, a machination by newly-elected ilKhan Ulric Kerensky of Clan Wolf. In fact, Clans Steel Viper and Nova Cat were intentionally assigned to invasion corridors already assigned to bitter rivals.

Operation Revival was intended to be the great return of General Kerensky's heirs. Ostensibly, the Clans intended to free the people of the Inner Sphere from the greed and corruption of the constantly warring Successor States, and re-create the great Star League. As such, the Clan Invaders focused their attention and their campaigns almost exclusively on units pledged to the Lords of the Great Houses. Only on rare occasions were neutral forces engaged, specifically the Com Guard garrisons. Though ComStar facilities were present on many of the planets conquered during Operation Revival, the Com Guards were ordered to remain neutral - the new Clan Invaders would simply be a different lord to whom ComStar could provide communication services. In an unlikely twist, these neutral Com Guards became the military which stopped the Clan Invasion.

In another machination by ilKhan Ulric, the Clans "revealed" the ultimate goal of the Clan Invasion to Comstar in 3051 - Terra, Comstar's home. The rationale behind the Terran conquest was simple - the Clan capable of successfully conquering mankind's home world would become the ilClan, the Clan which would guide/control the creation of the new Star League. ilKhan Ulric (a Warden) gambled that ComStar would not stand idly while Terra was conquered. While the less sophisticated armies of the Successor Lords could not stop the Clans for some time, Ulric hoped either the more sophisticated Com Guards would halt the Clan invasion (or ensure Clan Wolf would become the ilClan). In either eventuality, Ulric's Warden stance would become ascendant.

ilKhan Ulric Kerensky's gamble worked. His "revelation" prompted Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht to muster the Com Guard in defense of a proxy world - the Com Guards would defend a pair of objectives against each Clan on Tukayyid, a small "backwater" world in the Free Rasalhague Republic. Should the Com Guard fail, ComStar offered to surrender Terra rather than fight. After a month of combat, ComStar emerged victorious, and the ensuing Truce of Tukayyid, signed shortly thereafter between ilKhan Ulric Kerensky and ComStar Precentor Martial Anastasius Focht, stipulating the Clan Invasion could not commence again for 15 years.

Had the Com Guards lost the Battle of Tukayyid, one can only speculate whether or not ComStar would have actually conceded Terra.

December 3051 		4th Nova Cat Guards
(Delta Galaxy) 		2nd Jaguar Regulars
(Zeta Galaxy
(Clan Smoke Jaguar) 		The fate of the world was decided by clan tradition by trial. The 2 Trinaries showed to different fighting styles. The Smoke Jaguars used their famed frontal assault tactic, because the Nova Cat make attemps with flanking manuvers. The engagement get brutal afte a Jaguar battle 2 opponents at the same time. The Cats unleashed their fury at the enemy and one with one omnimech remaining operational.[3]

Wave 5 (November-December 3051)

Planet Attackers Defenders Outcome
Avon (DC)
December 3051 		274th Battle Cluster
(Delta Galaxy)
449th Assault Cluster
(Alpha Galaxy) 		2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group The fight for the planet was brutal. The light mech unit of the DCMS know about the advanced technology of the invaders and created fast response teams to expand weak spots in the enemy formations. The heaviers clan forces choose a different tactic. The mainbody hunt the small groups of the assault group, because the lighter elements make flanking assaults. The 2nd Amphigean had no change for rest or refit. These situation get worse when they had no access to their stockpiles, which were guarded by elementals. The defenders meet their destiny in an last stand where the command was destroyed from massed fire by the Nova Cats. [7]
Caripare (DC)
February 3052 		1st Nova Cat Guards
(Alpha Galaxy) 		2nd Ghost Regiment The seasoned DCMS command lured the Nova Cats into an trap, by misinformation during the batchall. When the 2 trinaries make their landing the Ghost start an assault from hidden position. The commander of the clans force called more troops to the ground. The following battle was stiff but the Cats get the upper hand. The Smoke Jaguars challenged in the afternath the Cats for the ownership of the planet. Over along periode of negotiation both sides agreed to share the controll about the world together.[8]
Cyrenaica (DC)
February 3052 		179th Striker Cluster
(Beta Galaxy) 		1st Shin Legion The defenders were convinced to give the Clans a good fight. The Nova Cats command used a different fighting style as expected. The Cats used their heaviest machines to reduce the force of the Legion. The lighter machines make flanking raids and finally the fighters strike the rear of the defenders. The development of the fight suprised the commander of the DCMS. He give order for an fighting retreat. The withdrew cost them dearly. Only the timely arrival of reinforcement give the 1st the oppotunity to escape offworld. [9]
Irece (DC)
December 3051 		Beta Galaxy 18th Dieron Regulars The planet was from strategic value, because on this world was the last functional LAM factory in the Inner Sphere. The protection of the world laid in the hands of the elite 18th Dieron Regulars, a seasoned urban fighter command. The High Command of the Cats choose to use their full military potential of Beta Galaxy to gain victory. The battle plan of the defenders was to use artillery to wear the Cats down. Another part was to retreat to prepared fortification and as an final solution to destroy the plant when necessary. The Cats make their landing out of range from the DCMS. The clan figther destroyed the artillery, because the mech force failed to trap the Regulars in place. The 18th were in the position to destroy an entire cluster but must retreat with the arrival of more Cats troops. The fight continued over the next day. With pat situation the Galaxy Commander sent an Head-Hunter unit after the enemy commander. The attemp failed by the accidental discovery of the elementals. In response the Tai-sa send his own DEST attachenment to the Cat-HQ with better results. The Galaxy Commander was killed and the DEST commando take nearly 20 omnimech with them to the death. The new commander of Beta Galaxy start a series of raids which weakened the Regulars further. When the first clan troops enter the factory complexe the attemp goes wrong to blow it up. The elementals had disarmed the demolitions charges of the DMCS. The 18th make a last stand, but were destroyed to the last machine. [10]
Itabaiana (DC)
January 3052 		179th Striker Cluster
(Beta Galaxy) 		None The hand over of the planet to the new ruler was without any fight, because the world had no standing garrison force. [11]
Juazeiro (DC)
January 3052 		44th Nova Cat Cavaliers
(Beta Galaxy) 		21st Galedon Regulars The defending 21st Galedon Regulars had prepared their defense for frontal assault. But the Star Colonel choose another way. She used her Elementals to kill the enemy commander with an head hunter tactic. This suprised the DCMS unit which await an assaul from the front. The new commander recognize the new situation to late when the mainbody of the cluster raided the rear area of the Regulars successfully. The Tai-sa split her force into smaller unit and tried to escape offworld. That was only partial a success, because at board of the dropshipe were less than 3 companies of DCMS warriors. [12]
Kanowit (DC)
March 3052 		Elements of Alpha Galaxy 11th Alshain Regulars
34th Galedon Regulars 		The DMCS defenders split their force in two parts. The situation was for the Galaxy Commander not undestanable. He trusted in the superior technology and choose to make an simultanisly assault at both enemy positions. At the ground he recognized that the 11th Alshain Regulars tried to pinn his troops in place. So that the more expierenced 34th Ragulars could attac them. The following battles was fierce. The 34th used a cavern system to their advantage and the clan forces suffer serious loses. When the causalties get to high by the DCMS, the unit retreat. The 11th Alshain had a similar situation and lost many machines to the advancing Cat forces. Both units could escape but only with horrendous loses. [13]

January 3052 		The Nova Cat Lancers (Beta Galaxy) 9th Dieron Regulars The defending units was concinced that they could beat the invading clan force. The commanding officer awnser the batchall of the Lancers. The battle was fierce, because the heavy elements pushed the Regulars into an corner and the remaining lighter elements harass the DCMS units on the flanks. The Tai-sa retreat his entire unit into an urban area. He thought that the Cat would not follow, but he was wrong. When he recognized his error it was to late. The Cat had capture in the meantime the Dropships. The 9th figh to the last man. [14]

(Alpha Galaxy) 		3rd Pesht Regulars
11th Pesht Regulars 		The commanders of the DCMS troops on the planet were from the old guards and doesn't follow the new fighting style against the Clans. They thought the forces under their command were good enougth to beat the Nova Cats in open battle. The clan warrios let the enemy no chance, this was the moment when the heir of the Draconis Combine, Hohiro Kurita, assumed command of the remaining forces. He changed the tactic immedatly to an guerilla campaign. The cats were frustrated. Help arrived from an unexpected corner in form of Victor Davion with an rescue force at the request of Omi Kurita herself. The rescue was successful and the IS forces could escape their enemies.[15]
