 +
 +
BUTLER
 +
May 3050
 +
|Fourth Falcon Velites (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
|Winfield's Regiment
 +
|Omega Plain
 +
Outcome: Leftenant General Davis Winfield knew that the incom¬ing DropShips carried enough of the Fourth Velites to outnumber his forces. Showing exceptional courage, which impressed the Jade Falcons, General Winfield countered the Falcon batchall by challenging Star Colonel Evak Mattlov of the Fourth Velites to personal combat. Winfield had the upper hand until a lucky laser hit destroyed his Atlas' gyro. General Winfield's enraged troops attacked the Velites' positions, and Winfield, knocked unconscious when his 'Mech fell, could not order his troops to cease fire, the Falcon Velites obliterated Winfield's Regiment. When General Winfield awoke in a Jade Falcon hospital unit, he was saluted for his honor, and made bondsman to Clan Jade Falcon.
 +
May 3050
 +
|Third Falcon Talon (Jade Falcon Galaxy)
 +
|Remnants of the Twelfth Donegal Guards RCT
 +
Outcome: Disheartened by their recent defeat on Trell 1, the Twelfth Guards RCT disintegrated soon after the Third Falcon Talon landed. The Falcons easily crushed the small groups of Guards that rallied to fight fierce actions, but by the end of the day, the Twelfth RCT no longer existed.
 +
 +
EVCILER
 +
May 3050
 +
|First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|Evciler Militia
 +
Outcome: The militia, mostly green recruits and personnel near retirement, decided not to resist the First Falcon Strikers, hoping to save their planet from the ravages of war. The Jade Falcons, outraged at what looked to them like the militia's cowardice, swiftly brought the planet under control. The sole resistor, a young 'Mech cadet piloting a Locust, attacked and nearly destroyed a Jade Falcon Fire Moth before his 'Mech blew apart. The cadet survived the explosion and became a bondsman.
 +
 +
GOLANDRINAS
 +
May 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: 124th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Golandrinas Militia
 +
Outcome: The Golandrinas Militia attempted to stop the 124th Striker Cluster in its initial approach by mining the space port with vibrabombs and digging tanks and infantry into concealed posi¬tions. The Elementáis of the 124th disarmed or destroyed most of the mines, allowing the Clan OmniMechs to close in and annihilate the militia's tanks and 'Mech company unopposed. Because they lost more than 90 percent of their forces to the Clan, the militia and the planetary government surrendered without further resistance.
 +
 +
MAXIE'S PLANET
 +
May 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: 305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Maxie's Militia
 +
Outcome: Retired Major Hans Remke of the LCAF led the resis¬tance on Maxie's Planet. Remke used a lance of medium 'Mechs to harass the 305th Assault Cluster with hit-and-run raids. The 305th took the planet despite the major's efforts, and Remke was presumed killed when his Phoenix Hawk was destroyed. Four months after the conquest, a small group of 'Mechs began raiding the PGC garrisoning Maxie's Planet, which suggests that Major Remke may still be alive.
 +
 +
ROMULUS May 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Romulus Militia
 +
Outcome: Because it lacked aerospace support, the Romulus Militia chose to make its stand in the planetary capital. The militia'! super-heavy tanks and heavy 'Mech company fought fiercely, bu took heavy casualties before losing to the Clan's superior force Ninety percent of the militia died fighting, and Romulus City wa; reduced to rubble.
 +
 +
SEIDUTS
 +
May 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) D
 +
efending Units: Seiduts Militia
 +
|None
 +
Outcome: Seiduts' terrain was unsuited to the guerrilla tactics th< militia tried to use. The Jade Falcon's orbital recon located ever) militia unit within three days, and the ground forces moved in ant eliminated them.
 +
 +
SOMERSET
 +
May 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: 94th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Somerset Academy Training Battalion, rem nants of the Eighth Arcturan RCT and the Second Ivaarsei Chasseurs.
 +
Outcome: The Somerset Academy Training Battalion received it! baptism by fire when the 94th Striker Cluster landed at Somerse Space Port. The cadets' courage was no substitute for experience and the 94th took the space port in less than an hour. The Eight! RCT and Second Ivaarsen Chasseurs met the 94th Striker Cluste near the town of Hollyfield. By the end of the twelve-hour battle, th< gallant Federated Commonwealth troops had been virtually de strayed.
 +
 +
TWYCROSS
 +
June 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: Falcon Guards (Jade Falcon Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Twycross TMM
 +
Outcome: The Falcon Guards outclassed the Twycross TMM f ron the outset. Unable to stop the Guards, the TMM fought fanaticall; to protect their world and made the Falcons pay for every inch o ground. The Falcon Guards needed three weeks to secun Twycross, thus delaying the Clan's invasion schedule. The shat tered remnants of the Twycross TMM evacuated, carrying informa tion on Jade Falcon tactics that the AFFC used to plan th< successful counterattack on Twycross.
 +
 +
WOTAN June 3050
 +
|Gyrfalcon Galaxy
 +
|Survivors of the First and Second Regiments of the Twelfth Star Guards, Wotan TMM
 +
Outcome: The remnants of the Twelfth Star Guards split up and hit the Clan forces in a series of lightning raids, successfully coordinat¬ing their efforts until a Jade Falcon airstrike killed Colonel Franklin Pierce Marinetti in his 'Mech. Gyrfalcon Galaxy handily defeated the scattered Guards. The Wotan TMM fought so poorly that Khan Crichell later referred to the battle against them as an execution.
 +
 +
THIRD WAVE
 +
(June 3050)
 +
 +
BETA VII June 3050
 +
| 124th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
| Beta VII Militia
 +
Outcome: The 124th Striker Cluster conquered Beta VII easily. They faced an unprepared planetary militia consisting of one lance of light Locust and Valkyrie 'Mechs, one company of tanks, and a single infantry battalion. The 124th's commander single-handedly wiped out the 'Mech lance, commenting later that he found it less of a challenge than his first Trial of Position. The tank company fought hardest, destroying three OmniMechs before the Falcons crushed the resistance. The battle-armored Elementáis caused the infantry to break ranks and run. Some infantrymen turned guerrilla, but most faded back into the anonymity of civilian life.
 +
 +
HOT SPRINGS
 +
June 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: Turkina Keshik, First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Hot Springs TMM

|See text. Outcome: See text.

 +
FOURTH WAVE
 +
MALIBU
 +
June 3050
 +
| 89th Falcon Striker Cluster (Peregrine Gal¬axy)
 +
| Malibu Militia
 +
Outcome: The green troops of the Malibu Militia met the 89th Falcon Strikers four kilometers outside Malibu City. Within five minutes of joining battle, the militia broke and ran in a blind panic. Two Trinaries of the 89th pursued the fleeing troops back to the city, where the planetary administrator surrendered the world with no further resistance. Derided by both Clansmen and Inner Sphere military personnel as a coward, the administrator chose to save his people from being slaughtered by an invincible enemy. Malibu has been the least rebellious world in the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.
 +
 +
ROADSIDE June 3050
 +
|First Falcon Velites
 +
|Roadside Militia
 +
Outcome: Aware that it could not win if it fought the Jade Falcons in pitched battle, the Roadside Militia took to the hills. Splitting up into lance- and platoon-sized units, the militia set traps and ambushes and sprung them on individual Stars. Several Stars of the First Velites fell victim to these traps, but the surviving Falcons hunted down and killed every militia member in revenge for these dishonorable tactics. The Roadside Militia's sacrifice tied the First Velites down on the planet for almost two weeks.
 +
 +
WALDORFF
 +
June 3050
 +
|Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|Waldorff City Police Department
 +
Outcome: The Waldorff City Police constituted the only armed force on the planet when the Second Falcon Jaegers landed. One company of infantry, two armored cars, and an UrbanMech put up a spirited but futile fight against the Clans' superior invading force. Using their intimate knowledge of the city, the police led the Second Jaegers into ambushes, then disengaged from battle and escaped through the city's storm-drain and sewer systems. The Jaegers destroyed the central precinct house and captured or killed most of the police force. To their credit, the police crippled an OmniMech and killed four Elementals before the fighting ended.

(July-October 3050)
 +
 +
ALYINA July 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: Turkina Keshik, First Falcon Striker, First Falcon Velites (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
Defending Units: Tenth Lyran Guards RCT
 +
Outcome: The Tenth Lyran Guards RCT detected the approach¬ing Jade Falcon DropShips early and made preparations for the assault. The Guards met the Turkina Keshik and First Falcon Striker at Mar Negro, overlooking the ocean. The Tenth held their own against severe pressure until the First Falcon Velites arrived to reinforce Clan Jade Falcon. Heavily outgunned, the Tenth Lyran disengaged. Victor Steiner-Davion and his battalion fought a delaying action to buy the Tenth Lyran Guards time to evacuate to their DropShips. Aware of the identity of their opponent, the Falcons tried to capture Victor, knowing that the loss of their Prince would devastate Federated Commonwealth morale. Victor es¬caped the Jade Falcon trap, but lost his best friend and fellow officer Kai Allard-Liao, who is listed as missing in action, presumed killed.
 +
 +
ANTARES July 3050
 +
Jade Falcon Units: Gyrfalcon Galaxy
 +
Defending Units: Antares Militia
 +
Outcome: Of minor strategic importance to the Federated Com¬monwealth, the world of Antares was lightly defended only by a militia battalion and a series of fortifications constructed by the locals. Clan Jade Falcon's Star League records named Antares as the site of an SLDF replenishment and resupply base, and so the Falcon Khans ordered the base taken at all costs. Gyrfalcon Galaxy landed on Antares with heavy aerospace support and destroyed the planetary militia's fighters on the ground. Antares City fell quickly, despite the militia's valiant efforts. The town of Alba proved harder to take.
 +
Unknown to its inhabitants, Alba was situated almost on top of the old Star League base. Because Alba contained the planet's largest water purification plant, the battle there was among the bloodiest of the fourth wave. The Falcons, initially reluctant to risk damaging the water purifier by using massed airstrikes, suffered severe casualties, especially the Second Falcon Jaegers. When Khan Crichell's logistics officers informed him that JumpShips could deliver a water purifier from Clan space in two and a half months, Crichell ordered the fighters to bomb the town flat. The stunned survivors watched the Jade Falcon engineers unearth the huge Star League base beneath their town. The Star League-era supplies and the base facility made Antares a valuable prize. When ilKhan Ulric Kerensky forced Clan Jade Falcon to share control of Antares with Clan Steel Viper, he precipitated a brutal series of Trials of Possession for the base which increased the Falcons' hatred for their fellow Clan.
 +
 +
APOLAKKIA July 3050
 +
|Peregrine Galaxy
 +
|Apolakkia Militia
 +
Outcome: The Apolakkia Militia engaged Peregrine Galaxy as it advanced on the planetary capital, prepared to disappear into the forests as soon as defeat became imminent. Few survivors es¬caped the devastated militia to wage guerrilla actions from the forests, and Peregrine Galaxy secured the world for the PGCs within twenty-four hours.
 +
 +
BAKER 3
 +
August 3050
 +
|Turkina Keshik
 +
|Baker's Militia
 +
Outcome: Because his combined-arms battalion stood at less than full strength, Colonel Matthew Anders defended his world by setting traps and ambushes. His forces destroyed afew OmniMechs and three Elemental Points using this tactic, but the militia's "dishonorable" strategy drove the warriors of the Turkina Keshik to hunt down and kill every militia member they could find. Colonel Anders died in his command bunker when two Points of flamer-equipped Elementals slipped past the militia lines and destroyed the HQ.
 +
 +
BLACKJACK August 3050
 +
|Gyrfalcon Galaxy
 +
|Blackjack Training Battalion
 +
Outcome: Kommandant Dean Bristow's Blackjack Training Bat¬talion did not expect their first combat experience to be fighting Clan Jade Falcon. The outgunned and inexperienced battalion impressed the Clan warriors by fighting bravely and honorably. Despite suffering an 80 percent casualty rate, they mauled the Second Falcon Jaegers, and a Cadet Mark Harris defeated a Clan OmniMech in an impromptu Trial of Possession for the cadet's family home. The Jade Falcons allowed the battalion to evacuate the planet, though they took some cadets as bondsmen. Many Jade Falcon warriors considered these cadets the most honorable foes the Clans had met in the Inner Sphere, and one Star Colonel later said that the Inner Sphere cadets had passed their Trial of Position. Three months after the battle at Tukayyid, Cadet Mark Harris was positively identified as a Star Commander in Gyrfalcon Galaxy. Clan Steel Viper later occupied the planet, and their first act was to raze the Blackjack School of Conflict.
 +
 +
COLMAR August 3050
 +
|Seventh Falcon Talon (lota Galaxy)
 +
|25th Arcturan Guards RCT (75 percent strength)
 +
Outcome: The 25th Arcturan Guards arrived on Colmar already tired from heavy fighting in the Clan Wolf invasion corridor to meet the Seventh Falcon Talon, a second-line Cluster fresh from garri¬son duty. The Jade Falcon Khans decided that in order to catch up to Clan Wolf's rate of conquest, they would bring second-line forces to the front and risk losing a battle or two. The Seventh defeated the 25th Arcturan Guards, but their fighter pilots bungled a deep-space interception that would have annihilated the surviving enemy force. The Seventh's overall performance pleased the Khans.
 +
 +
DEVIN
 +
August 3050
 +
|First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|First and Second Devin Armored Battalions
 +
Outcome: The First and Second Devin Armored attempted to hold off the First Falcon Striker at the Boneyard, the crash site of an old SLDF Texas Class battleship destroyed by Stefan Amaris' navy. The crash produced huge craters and mountains of wreckage, and the planet used the area as a giant salvage yard, eventually accumulating a mass of metal that rivaled Ishiyama Arena on Solaris VII. The piles of metal slowed the fighting and rendered radar and magnetic-anomaly detection devices worthless. 'Mechs and tanks often discovered each other at pointblank range. The Jaegers managed to wipe out both armored battalions, but at the cost of two Stars of OmniMechs.
 +
 +
DOMPAIRE
 +
August 3050
 +
|305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|Dompaire Armored Cavalry (one battalion)
 +
Outcome: The 305th Assault Cluster made a bold landing almost on top of Dompaire Central, the planetary capital. Unprepared for the Jade Falcon assault, the planetary defense rallied for a brief counterattack, but the force's old tanks and 'Mechs malfunctioned and broke down under battle stress. The 305th Assault Cluster secured the world by the end of the second day, though terrorist bombings and guerrilla attacks still occur.
 +
 +
GOAT PATH
 +
August 3050
 +
|First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|Goat Path Militia
 +
Outcome: Clan Jade Falcon chose Goat Path as one of its targets because the planetary administrators allegedly maintained con¬nections to an organized crime family named Malthus. The Bloodnamed of Malthus announced their intention to burn Goat Path to ash if they found any relationship between the Clan Bloodname Malthus and the criminal organization. Fortunately for the people of Goat Path, the Clan's information was incorrect, and the Jade Falcons changed their mission from destruction to con¬quest. The First Falcon Striker landed on the planet and easily took the space port and capital city. The planet surrendered soon afterward.
 +
 +
GRAUS
 +
September 3050
 +
|Fourth Falcon Velites (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
|None
 +
Outcome: The Lyran Commonwealth planet Graus, home to a' pacifist movement in for several decades, offered the Fourth Falcon Velites no resistance when they arrived to take the planet. When the planetary council responded to the Falcon batchall by stating that no forces defended the world, the Jade Falcons assumed they were attempting to deceive the Clan. They discov¬ered that the council had spoken the truth upon landing. Graus assimilated into Falcon society almost effortlessly, though it is unlikely that the planet will ever produce any members of the warrior caste.
 +
 +
LESKOVIK
 +
September 3050
 +
|Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|Leskovik Militia
 +
Outcome: The Leskovik Militia lured Alpha Trinary of the Second Falcon Jaegers into the massive Leskovik Refinery. During the battle, a huge tank of liquid natural gas exploded, consuming invader and defender alike in the firestorm. Subsequent investiga¬tion proved that the explosion was accidental, not the result of sabotage or battle damage. Leskovik Refinery remained a ruin, a monument commemorating the brave warriors struck down by fire.
 +
 +
PARAKOILA
 +
September-October 3050
 +
|Gyrfalcon Galaxy
 +
|Parakoila 'Mech Battalion
 +
Outcome: Parakoila, a primary source of gold and heavy metals for the Commonwealth, hosted one of the longest battles of the fourth wave, of the invasion. The defending 'Mechs converted several of the mines into defensive installations backed by miles of tunnels, rivaling the fortified structure of a Castle Brian. The Jade Falcon Khans wanted the mines intact. Because Gyrfalcon Galaxy could not use planetary bombardment, it was forced to root out the Inner Sphere 'Mechs tunnel by tunnel. They accomplished this task in just over six weeks, the longest time required to conquer any Inner Sphere world. Even after Tukayyid, the Clan Steel Viper garrison on Parakoila occasionally reports 'Mechs emerging from the miles of tunnels to raid Viper supply depots and patrols.
 +
 +
SUDETEN
 +
September-October 3050
 +
|Turkina Keshik, 124th Striker Cluster (Per¬egrine Galaxy)
 +
 +
|Gray Death Legion, Sudeten Militia
 +
Outcome: The Gray Death Legion, one of the best mercenary units in the Inner Sphere, defended Sudeten by fighting a series of delaying actions to maul the 124th Striker Cluster. The Legion escaped off-planet after the Sudeten Militia's 'Mech company sacrificed itself to hold the Falcons off long enough for the merce¬naries to board their DropSfiips.
 +
 +
TWYCROSS, PHASE II
 +
September 3050
 +
|Falcon Guards, Jade Falcon Eyrie Cluster (Jade Falcon Galaxy)
 +
Attacking Forces: Tenth Lyran Guards RCT ('Mechs), Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT, Kell Hounds First and Second Battalions
 +
 +
ZOETERMEER September-October 3050
 +
|Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star
 +
|Tenth Donegal Guards RCT (25 percent strength), Able Battalion, Third Regiment, Twelfth Star Guards (from Wolf Clan Occupation Zone)
 +
|None
 +
Outcome: The gutted Tenth Donegal RCT and the Twelfth Star Guards' Third Regiment made a brave stand on Zoetermeer. Apparently possessing nothing the Clans would want, Zoetermeer came under attack for reasons still unknown to the Inner Sphere, though some people suggest a naval depot is hidden somewhere in the system. Khan Chistu ordered the Emerald Talon Assault Star to take the world without resorting to an orbital bombardment, a tactic the Clans abandoned in the wake of Clan Smoke Jaguar's destruction of Turtle Bay in retaliation for that planet's continued resistance. The Khan used the Emerald Talon mainly because he could spare no troops for the assault. Star Admiral Adrian Malthus positioned his ships above the capital city of Hohenzollern and bluffed the planetary forces into surrender by threatening the orbital bombardment he was barred from unleashing.

 +
 +
TRIALS OF POSSESSION MONTMARAULT November 3051
 +
|305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|SVP:Viper Guards Cluster
 +
Outcome: Though they fought well, the 305th Assault Cluster lost
 +
the right to conquer Montmarault to the Viper Guards. Most Falcon
 +
warriors blame this defeat on the fact that the Viper Guards were
 +
fresh, while the 305th fought in some of the invasion's fiercest
 +
battles.
 +
 +
ORKNEY
 +
November 3051
 +
|First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
 +
|SVP:104th Assault Cluster (The Viper's Fangs)
 +
Outcome: Over the course of two days, the First Falcon Jaegers and the Viper's 104th Assault Cluster pounded each other into the ground. The trial ended in a draw, and the two Clans shared the conquest and administration of Orkney. Both the Falcon Jaegers and the Viper's 104th regained full strength barely in time for Tukayyid.

 +
WORLDS CONQUERED BY CLAN JADE FALCON
 +
LA GRAVE
 +
December 3051
 +
|Fourth Falcon Talon Cluster, 94th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy)
 +
|Fifth Davion Guards RCT (65 percent strength)
 +
Outcome: The Fifth Davion Guards RCT, fresh from the Clan Wolf front, used their hard-won knowledge of Clan tactics to avoid the mistakes made by other Federated Commonwealth units earlier in the war. Unfortunately for the Fifth, Clan Jade Falcon had also learned new methods of fighting the Inner Sphere. A Headhunter Star of Elementáis assassinated Hauptmann General William Galloway. His aide, Colonel James Allison, led several ambushes against the Jade Falcon forces before he was vaporized in his 'Mech by concentrated fire from an Assault Star of OmniMechs. Clan OmniMechs combined their fire several times during this battle, frequently when Federated Commonwealth MechWarriors committed some breach of Clan honor, but also from tactical necessity. The Jade Falcons adopted this firing technique specifi¬cally to counter Inner Sphere battle tactics.
 +
 +
QUARELL
 +
December 3051
 +
|Gyrfalcon Galaxy
 +
|Quarell 'Mech Battalion
 +
Outcome: The Quarell 'Mech Battalion tried to use the hit-and-run tactics that other units had used successfully against the Clans, but failed. Using fighter surveillance and orbital 'Mech drops, the Gyrfalcon Galaxy warriors ran down the Quarell 'Mechs and, enraged over their recent losses to Clan Steel Viper, exceeded even their usual ruthlessness. Only six members of the Quarell 'Mech Battalion survived to become bondsmen.

Revision as of 04:21, 21 February 2010

The invasion of the Inner Sphere by Clans Jade Falcon, Wolf, Ghost Bear, and Smoke Jaguar in year 3049. It was to be the great return of General Kerensky's heirs, who would free the people of the Inner Sphere from the greed and corruption of the constantly bickering Successor States, the weak remains of the great Star League. The Clans planned to conquer Terra, as well as the whole of the Inner Sphere and restore the Star League to all its old glory.

Fourth Falcon Velites (Peregrine Galaxy) Winfield's Regiment Omega Plain

Outcome: Leftenant General Davis Winfield knew that the incom¬ing DropShips carried enough of the Fourth Velites to outnumber his forces. Showing exceptional courage, which impressed the Jade Falcons, General Winfield countered the Falcon batchall by challenging Star Colonel Evak Mattlov of the Fourth Velites to personal combat. Winfield had the upper hand until a lucky laser hit destroyed his Atlas' gyro. General Winfield's enraged troops attacked the Velites' positions, and Winfield, knocked unconscious when his 'Mech fell, could not order his troops to cease fire, the Falcon Velites obliterated Winfield's Regiment. When General Winfield awoke in a Jade Falcon hospital unit, he was saluted for his honor, and made bondsman to Clan Jade Falcon. May 3050

Third Falcon Talon (Jade Falcon Galaxy) Remnants of the Twelfth Donegal Guards RCT

Outcome: Disheartened by their recent defeat on Trell 1, the Twelfth Guards RCT disintegrated soon after the Third Falcon Talon landed. The Falcons easily crushed the small groups of Guards that rallied to fight fierce actions, but by the end of the day, the Twelfth RCT no longer existed.

EVCILER May 3050

First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Evciler Militia

Outcome: The militia, mostly green recruits and personnel near retirement, decided not to resist the First Falcon Strikers, hoping to save their planet from the ravages of war. The Jade Falcons, outraged at what looked to them like the militia's cowardice, swiftly brought the planet under control. The sole resistor, a young 'Mech cadet piloting a Locust, attacked and nearly destroyed a Jade Falcon Fire Moth before his 'Mech blew apart. The cadet survived the explosion and became a bondsman.

GOLANDRINAS May 3050 Jade Falcon Units: 124th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy) Defending Units: Golandrinas Militia Outcome: The Golandrinas Militia attempted to stop the 124th Striker Cluster in its initial approach by mining the space port with vibrabombs and digging tanks and infantry into concealed posi¬tions. The Elementáis of the 124th disarmed or destroyed most of the mines, allowing the Clan OmniMechs to close in and annihilate the militia's tanks and 'Mech company unopposed. Because they lost more than 90 percent of their forces to the Clan, the militia and the planetary government surrendered without further resistance.

MAXIE'S PLANET May 3050 Jade Falcon Units: 305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Defending Units: Maxie's Militia Outcome: Retired Major Hans Remke of the LCAF led the resis¬tance on Maxie's Planet. Remke used a lance of medium 'Mechs to harass the 305th Assault Cluster with hit-and-run raids. The 305th took the planet despite the major's efforts, and Remke was presumed killed when his Phoenix Hawk was destroyed. Four months after the conquest, a small group of 'Mechs began raiding the PGC garrisoning Maxie's Planet, which suggests that Major Remke may still be alive.

ROMULUS May 3050 Jade Falcon Units: First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Defending Units: Romulus Militia Outcome: Because it lacked aerospace support, the Romulus Militia chose to make its stand in the planetary capital. The militia'! super-heavy tanks and heavy 'Mech company fought fiercely, bu took heavy casualties before losing to the Clan's superior force Ninety percent of the militia died fighting, and Romulus City wa; reduced to rubble.

SEIDUTS May 3050 Jade Falcon Units: Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) D efending Units: Seiduts Militia

None

Outcome: Seiduts' terrain was unsuited to the guerrilla tactics th< militia tried to use. The Jade Falcon's orbital recon located ever) militia unit within three days, and the ground forces moved in ant eliminated them.

SOMERSET May 3050 Jade Falcon Units: 94th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy) Defending Units: Somerset Academy Training Battalion, rem nants of the Eighth Arcturan RCT and the Second Ivaarsei Chasseurs. Outcome: The Somerset Academy Training Battalion received it! baptism by fire when the 94th Striker Cluster landed at Somerse Space Port. The cadets' courage was no substitute for experience and the 94th took the space port in less than an hour. The Eight! RCT and Second Ivaarsen Chasseurs met the 94th Striker Cluste near the town of Hollyfield. By the end of the twelve-hour battle, th< gallant Federated Commonwealth troops had been virtually de strayed.

TWYCROSS June 3050 Jade Falcon Units: Falcon Guards (Jade Falcon Galaxy) Defending Units: Twycross TMM Outcome: The Falcon Guards outclassed the Twycross TMM f ron the outset. Unable to stop the Guards, the TMM fought fanaticall; to protect their world and made the Falcons pay for every inch o ground. The Falcon Guards needed three weeks to secun Twycross, thus delaying the Clan's invasion schedule. The shat tered remnants of the Twycross TMM evacuated, carrying informa tion on Jade Falcon tactics that the AFFC used to plan th< successful counterattack on Twycross.

WOTAN June 3050

Gyrfalcon Galaxy Survivors of the First and Second Regiments of the Twelfth Star Guards, Wotan TMM

Outcome: The remnants of the Twelfth Star Guards split up and hit the Clan forces in a series of lightning raids, successfully coordinat¬ing their efforts until a Jade Falcon airstrike killed Colonel Franklin Pierce Marinetti in his 'Mech. Gyrfalcon Galaxy handily defeated the scattered Guards. The Wotan TMM fought so poorly that Khan Crichell later referred to the battle against them as an execution.

THIRD WAVE (June 3050)

BETA VII June 3050

124th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy) Beta VII Militia

Outcome: The 124th Striker Cluster conquered Beta VII easily. They faced an unprepared planetary militia consisting of one lance of light Locust and Valkyrie 'Mechs, one company of tanks, and a single infantry battalion. The 124th's commander single-handedly wiped out the 'Mech lance, commenting later that he found it less of a challenge than his first Trial of Position. The tank company fought hardest, destroying three OmniMechs before the Falcons crushed the resistance. The battle-armored Elementáis caused the infantry to break ranks and run. Some infantrymen turned guerrilla, but most faded back into the anonymity of civilian life.

HOT SPRINGS June 3050 Jade Falcon Units: Turkina Keshik, First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Defending Units: Hot Springs TMM

See text. Outcome: See text.


FOURTH WAVE MALIBU June 3050

89th Falcon Striker Cluster (Peregrine Gal¬axy) Malibu Militia

Outcome: The green troops of the Malibu Militia met the 89th Falcon Strikers four kilometers outside Malibu City. Within five minutes of joining battle, the militia broke and ran in a blind panic. Two Trinaries of the 89th pursued the fleeing troops back to the city, where the planetary administrator surrendered the world with no further resistance. Derided by both Clansmen and Inner Sphere military personnel as a coward, the administrator chose to save his people from being slaughtered by an invincible enemy. Malibu has been the least rebellious world in the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.

ROADSIDE June 3050

First Falcon Velites Roadside Militia

Outcome: Aware that it could not win if it fought the Jade Falcons in pitched battle, the Roadside Militia took to the hills. Splitting up into lance- and platoon-sized units, the militia set traps and ambushes and sprung them on individual Stars. Several Stars of the First Velites fell victim to these traps, but the surviving Falcons hunted down and killed every militia member in revenge for these dishonorable tactics. The Roadside Militia's sacrifice tied the First Velites down on the planet for almost two weeks.

WALDORFF June 3050

Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Waldorff City Police Department

Outcome: The Waldorff City Police constituted the only armed force on the planet when the Second Falcon Jaegers landed. One company of infantry, two armored cars, and an UrbanMech put up a spirited but futile fight against the Clans' superior invading force. Using their intimate knowledge of the city, the police led the Second Jaegers into ambushes, then disengaged from battle and escaped through the city's storm-drain and sewer systems. The Jaegers destroyed the central precinct house and captured or killed most of the police force. To their credit, the police crippled an OmniMech and killed four Elementals before the fighting ended.

(July-October 3050)

ALYINA July 3050 Jade Falcon Units: Turkina Keshik, First Falcon Striker, First Falcon Velites (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Defending Units: Tenth Lyran Guards RCT Outcome: The Tenth Lyran Guards RCT detected the approach¬ing Jade Falcon DropShips early and made preparations for the assault. The Guards met the Turkina Keshik and First Falcon Striker at Mar Negro, overlooking the ocean. The Tenth held their own against severe pressure until the First Falcon Velites arrived to reinforce Clan Jade Falcon. Heavily outgunned, the Tenth Lyran disengaged. Victor Steiner-Davion and his battalion fought a delaying action to buy the Tenth Lyran Guards time to evacuate to their DropShips. Aware of the identity of their opponent, the Falcons tried to capture Victor, knowing that the loss of their Prince would devastate Federated Commonwealth morale. Victor es¬caped the Jade Falcon trap, but lost his best friend and fellow officer Kai Allard-Liao, who is listed as missing in action, presumed killed.

ANTARES July 3050 Jade Falcon Units: Gyrfalcon Galaxy Defending Units: Antares Militia Outcome: Of minor strategic importance to the Federated Com¬monwealth, the world of Antares was lightly defended only by a militia battalion and a series of fortifications constructed by the locals. Clan Jade Falcon's Star League records named Antares as the site of an SLDF replenishment and resupply base, and so the Falcon Khans ordered the base taken at all costs. Gyrfalcon Galaxy landed on Antares with heavy aerospace support and destroyed the planetary militia's fighters on the ground. Antares City fell quickly, despite the militia's valiant efforts. The town of Alba proved harder to take. Unknown to its inhabitants, Alba was situated almost on top of the old Star League base. Because Alba contained the planet's largest water purification plant, the battle there was among the bloodiest of the fourth wave. The Falcons, initially reluctant to risk damaging the water purifier by using massed airstrikes, suffered severe casualties, especially the Second Falcon Jaegers. When Khan Crichell's logistics officers informed him that JumpShips could deliver a water purifier from Clan space in two and a half months, Crichell ordered the fighters to bomb the town flat. The stunned survivors watched the Jade Falcon engineers unearth the huge Star League base beneath their town. The Star League-era supplies and the base facility made Antares a valuable prize. When ilKhan Ulric Kerensky forced Clan Jade Falcon to share control of Antares with Clan Steel Viper, he precipitated a brutal series of Trials of Possession for the base which increased the Falcons' hatred for their fellow Clan.

APOLAKKIA July 3050

Peregrine Galaxy Apolakkia Militia

Outcome: The Apolakkia Militia engaged Peregrine Galaxy as it advanced on the planetary capital, prepared to disappear into the forests as soon as defeat became imminent. Few survivors es¬caped the devastated militia to wage guerrilla actions from the forests, and Peregrine Galaxy secured the world for the PGCs within twenty-four hours.

BAKER 3 August 3050

Turkina Keshik Baker's Militia

Outcome: Because his combined-arms battalion stood at less than full strength, Colonel Matthew Anders defended his world by setting traps and ambushes. His forces destroyed afew OmniMechs and three Elemental Points using this tactic, but the militia's "dishonorable" strategy drove the warriors of the Turkina Keshik to hunt down and kill every militia member they could find. Colonel Anders died in his command bunker when two Points of flamer-equipped Elementals slipped past the militia lines and destroyed the HQ.

BLACKJACK August 3050

Gyrfalcon Galaxy Blackjack Training Battalion

Outcome: Kommandant Dean Bristow's Blackjack Training Bat¬talion did not expect their first combat experience to be fighting Clan Jade Falcon. The outgunned and inexperienced battalion impressed the Clan warriors by fighting bravely and honorably. Despite suffering an 80 percent casualty rate, they mauled the Second Falcon Jaegers, and a Cadet Mark Harris defeated a Clan OmniMech in an impromptu Trial of Possession for the cadet's family home. The Jade Falcons allowed the battalion to evacuate the planet, though they took some cadets as bondsmen. Many Jade Falcon warriors considered these cadets the most honorable foes the Clans had met in the Inner Sphere, and one Star Colonel later said that the Inner Sphere cadets had passed their Trial of Position. Three months after the battle at Tukayyid, Cadet Mark Harris was positively identified as a Star Commander in Gyrfalcon Galaxy. Clan Steel Viper later occupied the planet, and their first act was to raze the Blackjack School of Conflict.

COLMAR August 3050

Seventh Falcon Talon (lota Galaxy) 25th Arcturan Guards RCT (75 percent strength)

Outcome: The 25th Arcturan Guards arrived on Colmar already tired from heavy fighting in the Clan Wolf invasion corridor to meet the Seventh Falcon Talon, a second-line Cluster fresh from garri¬son duty. The Jade Falcon Khans decided that in order to catch up to Clan Wolf's rate of conquest, they would bring second-line forces to the front and risk losing a battle or two. The Seventh defeated the 25th Arcturan Guards, but their fighter pilots bungled a deep-space interception that would have annihilated the surviving enemy force. The Seventh's overall performance pleased the Khans.

DEVIN August 3050

First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) First and Second Devin Armored Battalions

Outcome: The First and Second Devin Armored attempted to hold off the First Falcon Striker at the Boneyard, the crash site of an old SLDF Texas Class battleship destroyed by Stefan Amaris' navy. The crash produced huge craters and mountains of wreckage, and the planet used the area as a giant salvage yard, eventually accumulating a mass of metal that rivaled Ishiyama Arena on Solaris VII. The piles of metal slowed the fighting and rendered radar and magnetic-anomaly detection devices worthless. 'Mechs and tanks often discovered each other at pointblank range. The Jaegers managed to wipe out both armored battalions, but at the cost of two Stars of OmniMechs.

DOMPAIRE August 3050

305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Dompaire Armored Cavalry (one battalion)

Outcome: The 305th Assault Cluster made a bold landing almost on top of Dompaire Central, the planetary capital. Unprepared for the Jade Falcon assault, the planetary defense rallied for a brief counterattack, but the force's old tanks and 'Mechs malfunctioned and broke down under battle stress. The 305th Assault Cluster secured the world by the end of the second day, though terrorist bombings and guerrilla attacks still occur.

GOAT PATH August 3050

First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Goat Path Militia

Outcome: Clan Jade Falcon chose Goat Path as one of its targets because the planetary administrators allegedly maintained con¬nections to an organized crime family named Malthus. The Bloodnamed of Malthus announced their intention to burn Goat Path to ash if they found any relationship between the Clan Bloodname Malthus and the criminal organization. Fortunately for the people of Goat Path, the Clan's information was incorrect, and the Jade Falcons changed their mission from destruction to con¬quest. The First Falcon Striker landed on the planet and easily took the space port and capital city. The planet surrendered soon afterward.

GRAUS September 3050

Fourth Falcon Velites (Peregrine Galaxy) None

Outcome: The Lyran Commonwealth planet Graus, home to a' pacifist movement in for several decades, offered the Fourth Falcon Velites no resistance when they arrived to take the planet. When the planetary council responded to the Falcon batchall by stating that no forces defended the world, the Jade Falcons assumed they were attempting to deceive the Clan. They discov¬ered that the council had spoken the truth upon landing. Graus assimilated into Falcon society almost effortlessly, though it is unlikely that the planet will ever produce any members of the warrior caste.

LESKOVIK September 3050

Second Falcon Jaegers (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) Leskovik Militia

Outcome: The Leskovik Militia lured Alpha Trinary of the Second Falcon Jaegers into the massive Leskovik Refinery. During the battle, a huge tank of liquid natural gas exploded, consuming invader and defender alike in the firestorm. Subsequent investiga¬tion proved that the explosion was accidental, not the result of sabotage or battle damage. Leskovik Refinery remained a ruin, a monument commemorating the brave warriors struck down by fire.

PARAKOILA September-October 3050

Gyrfalcon Galaxy Parakoila 'Mech Battalion

Outcome: Parakoila, a primary source of gold and heavy metals for the Commonwealth, hosted one of the longest battles of the fourth wave, of the invasion. The defending 'Mechs converted several of the mines into defensive installations backed by miles of tunnels, rivaling the fortified structure of a Castle Brian. The Jade Falcon Khans wanted the mines intact. Because Gyrfalcon Galaxy could not use planetary bombardment, it was forced to root out the Inner Sphere 'Mechs tunnel by tunnel. They accomplished this task in just over six weeks, the longest time required to conquer any Inner Sphere world. Even after Tukayyid, the Clan Steel Viper garrison on Parakoila occasionally reports 'Mechs emerging from the miles of tunnels to raid Viper supply depots and patrols.

SUDETEN September-October 3050

Turkina Keshik, 124th Striker Cluster (Per¬egrine Galaxy) Gray Death Legion, Sudeten Militia

Outcome: The Gray Death Legion, one of the best mercenary units in the Inner Sphere, defended Sudeten by fighting a series of delaying actions to maul the 124th Striker Cluster. The Legion escaped off-planet after the Sudeten Militia's 'Mech company sacrificed itself to hold the Falcons off long enough for the merce¬naries to board their DropSfiips.

TWYCROSS, PHASE II September 3050

Falcon Guards, Jade Falcon Eyrie Cluster (Jade Falcon Galaxy)

Attacking Forces: Tenth Lyran Guards RCT ('Mechs), Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT, Kell Hounds First and Second Battalions

ZOETERMEER September-October 3050

Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star Tenth Donegal Guards RCT (25 percent strength), Able Battalion, Third Regiment, Twelfth Star Guards (from Wolf Clan Occupation Zone) None

Outcome: The gutted Tenth Donegal RCT and the Twelfth Star Guards' Third Regiment made a brave stand on Zoetermeer. Apparently possessing nothing the Clans would want, Zoetermeer came under attack for reasons still unknown to the Inner Sphere, though some people suggest a naval depot is hidden somewhere in the system. Khan Chistu ordered the Emerald Talon Assault Star to take the world without resorting to an orbital bombardment, a tactic the Clans abandoned in the wake of Clan Smoke Jaguar's destruction of Turtle Bay in retaliation for that planet's continued resistance. The Khan used the Emerald Talon mainly because he could spare no troops for the assault. Star Admiral Adrian Malthus positioned his ships above the capital city of Hohenzollern and bluffed the planetary forces into surrender by threatening the orbital bombardment he was barred from unleashing.

FIFTH WAVE (November-December 3051)

TRIALS OF POSSESSION MONTMARAULT November 3051

305th Assault Cluster (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) SVP:Viper Guards Cluster

Outcome: Though they fought well, the 305th Assault Cluster lost the right to conquer Montmarault to the Viper Guards. Most Falcon warriors blame this defeat on the fact that the Viper Guards were fresh, while the 305th fought in some of the invasion's fiercest battles.

ORKNEY November 3051

First Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy) SVP:104th Assault Cluster (The Viper's Fangs)

Outcome: Over the course of two days, the First Falcon Jaegers and the Viper's 104th Assault Cluster pounded each other into the ground. The trial ended in a draw, and the two Clans shared the conquest and administration of Orkney. Both the Falcon Jaegers and the Viper's 104th regained full strength barely in time for Tukayyid.

WORLDS CONQUERED BY CLAN JADE FALCON LA GRAVE December 3051

Fourth Falcon Talon Cluster, 94th Striker Cluster (Peregrine Galaxy) Fifth Davion Guards RCT (65 percent strength)

Outcome: The Fifth Davion Guards RCT, fresh from the Clan Wolf front, used their hard-won knowledge of Clan tactics to avoid the mistakes made by other Federated Commonwealth units earlier in the war. Unfortunately for the Fifth, Clan Jade Falcon had also learned new methods of fighting the Inner Sphere. A Headhunter Star of Elementáis assassinated Hauptmann General William Galloway. His aide, Colonel James Allison, led several ambushes against the Jade Falcon forces before he was vaporized in his 'Mech by concentrated fire from an Assault Star of OmniMechs. Clan OmniMechs combined their fire several times during this battle, frequently when Federated Commonwealth MechWarriors committed some breach of Clan honor, but also from tactical necessity. The Jade Falcons adopted this firing technique specifi¬cally to counter Inner Sphere battle tactics.

QUARELL December 3051

Gyrfalcon Galaxy Quarell 'Mech Battalion

Outcome: The Quarell 'Mech Battalion tried to use the hit-and-run tactics that other units had used successfully against the Clans, but failed. Using fighter surveillance and orbital 'Mech drops, the Gyrfalcon Galaxy warriors ran down the Quarell 'Mechs and, enraged over their recent losses to Clan Steel Viper, exceeded even their usual ruthlessness. Only six members of the Quarell 'Mech Battalion survived to become bondsmen.
