Jade Falcon Incursion (3064)

Cleanup tagged articles without a reason field

Overview:

First the different Factions:
The Falcons began an significant rebuild after the Coventry Campaign. They created new Clusters (Swoop Clusters + new PGC and Eyrie Clusters). New equipment and designs filled the holes in the roster. Khan Marthe Pryde has 10 new clusters (6 in the OZ and 4 from the Homeworlds) and the preperation last 10 month. The assault started mid 3064.
The objectivs:

• expanded their occupation zone
• train (blooding) the next falcon generation against a worthsome enemy

The Wolfs took advantage of the lightly defended interclan border. Khan Wards own touman included several newly created clusters as result of the Harvest Trials.
The objectives:

• show the rest of the clans that the wolf had teeth
• took oppotunity of the weakened clan border
• testing new warriors also
  

The Wolf (in Exile) strike at their own in the OZ after several defences of Lyran controlled Worlds.
The LAAF had big troubles. The Civilwar raged on and weaken the entire realm. The Jade Falcons see an easy pray. In the first phase the defense was disorganized but skilled leader like Adam Steiner and Archer Christofferi changed the cause to the better side. This efforts go sofar that they can start counter raids/assult in the Falcon OZ. They LAAF started the Operations Bludgeon (to reconquer lyran worlds atttacked by the Falcons) and Audacity (attacking worlds in the OZ).
As a result the clanborder changed significantly. Every faction had gains and looses.

Phases:

Phase One= Waves 1 to 5 (10th June - 30th September 3064) + Operation Bludgeon and Operation Audacity

Phase Two= Retreat from Melissia and starting an counter assault in the OZ. Clan WoE take part of the action (End of Phase 10th December 3064)

Phase Three=In the end phase all faction end the fighting slowly and put additional forces as garrison to the conquered planets.
