The [[Word of Blake]] [[Jihad]] would all but shatter those expectations, first with a Blakist raid in [[3068]] crippling Janesek's plant and sending its stock price on a rollercoaster ride in response to fears of attacks from the Blakists and [[Clan Ghost Bear]] as it rebuilt. While the company finally began to stabilize in [[3072]], with the Ghost Bears already producing a number of heavy OmniFighters, after the Republic's merger into the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] Janesek was denied funds to upgrade with [[Clan]]-Tech to match them. Designated an export facility, a near moribund Janesek was reduced to selling the ''Huscarl'' to a limited pool of authorized external buyers. <ref name=TROPRO194/> The Jihad cost Janesek 20% of its workforce, and in [[3079]] it was only operating at 60% of its maximum volume.<ref>''Objectives: The Clans'', p. 32</ref>

Desperate to stay afloat, Janesek's executives were finally able to convince the Dominion [[Merchant Caste]] to be allowed to build the basic second-line ''Tyre'' fighter for export. While initially a success, as export sales for the ''Huscarl'' nosedived in the years after the Jihad concluded Janesek desperately sought a new fighter to remain relevant and bring in fresh investment, using the meager funds available to develop a new variant of the ''Tyre''. Ultimately the biggest interest would still be export buyers like [[Clan Hell's Horses]] rather than the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Ghost Bear ''touman'']] as Janesek hoped, the fate of the company hanging in the balance on the hopes of expanded sales of the Clan-Tech fighter to Inner Sphere powers.<ref name=TROPRO194/>
