Chaffee, was completely overrun, and it was there that Falcon forces slaughtered 50,000 inhabitants in the city of Hamilton—a savage and heavy-handed action that has outraged billions across the Inner Sphere and prompted calls for war against Jade Falcon. The [[Hamilton Massacre]] came to light soon after the liberation of Chaffee by the [[Stormhammers]], a pro-Commonwealth faction within The Republic of the Sphere, who acted in conjunction with the [[Steel Wolves]] to rout Jade Falcon there last November. Whether the successful campaign was accomplished with the direct support of the Commonwealth government remains unclear at this time, but it has become a rallying cry for many who feel the current administration is failing to deal with the more immediate threat Jade Falcon represents, even as tensions mount on Republican and League borders.<ref>''Dark Age: 3135 PDA Journals'', p. 193: "09 June 3135"</ref> The ''Emerald Talon'' would remain in service well into the [[thirty-second century|thirty-second century]]. During this time, it was part of the Jade Falcon invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], where it supported the attack on [[Skye]]. In the Falcons' second Battle for Skye, the ship fought the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran]] ''[[Mjolnir (WarShip class)|Mjolnir]]''-class battlecruiser [[Yggdrasil (Individual Mjolnir-class WarShip)|LCS ''Yggdrasil'']] in a brutal duel in December of [[3134]]. The ''Emerald Talon'' received a considerable amount of damage and was ultimately forced to withdraw from Skye.<ref>''Blood of the Isle'', p. 221: "Emerald Talon fights ''Yggdrasil'' over Skye and forced to retreat"</ref> Defeated at Skye, the ''Emerald Talon'' returned to the Jade Falcon [[Occupation Zone]] where it took part in the [[Jade Falcon Civil War]]. The ''Emerald Talon'' served as part of [[Malvina Hazen]]'s forces and was ultimately crippled by the ''[[Aegis (WarShip class)|Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser [[Jade Talon|CJF ''Jade Talon'']] in the final battle of the war over [[Sudeten]]. Afterwards, [[Khan]] Hazen ordered the ''Emerald Talon'' be crashed into the Sudeten capital city of Hammarr as an object lesson to the Clan. His captain obeyed, though he ordered before the remaining crew's evacuation, staying on board. The WarShip crashed into the Talon's Perch, eliminating most of the Clan's leadership structure, along with almost all Hammarr.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 306: "Emerald Talon rammed into the planet as part of Hazen's cleanup of Falcon politics"</ref><ref>''BattleTech: Legends'' p. 142</ref> The ''Talon'' impact razed the capital, and it took decades to be rebuilt.
