===REVIVAL===
The ''[[Aegis]]''-class heavy cruiser '''CJF ''Red Talon''''' accompanied the Jade Falcon forces to the Inner Sphere. It served as support to Delta "Gyrfalcon" Galaxy's 305th Assault Cluster throughout the Invasion.<ref name=JFS77>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 77</ref>

===Post Refusal War===
As of [[3059]] it was serving as one of nine ''Aegis''-class vessels serving in the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Jade Falcon ''touman'']], operating alongside the [[Black Talon|CJF ''Black Talon'']], [[Blue Talon|CJF ''Blue Talon'']], [[Frost Falcon|CJF ''Frost Falcon'']], [[Gold Talon|CJF ''Gold Talon'']], [[Jade Talon|CJF ''Jade Talon'']], [[Hawk Eye|CJF ''Hawk Eye'']], [[Janice Hazen|CJF ''Janice Hazen'']] and [[Jade Wolf (Individual Aegis-class WarShip)|CJF ''White Talon'']].<ref name="FM:CCp95">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 95, "Naval Assets"</ref> The ''Red Talon'' would continue to be an active part of the ''touman'' throughout the next decade<ref name="FM:Up49">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 49, "Naval Assets"</ref> and into the beginnings of the [[Jihad]].

The ''Red Talon'' was a part of the combined Jade Falcon/[[Lyran Alliance Armed Forces]] task force responsible for the liberation of [[Coventry]] from a blockade established by the [[Word of Blake]] during the Jihad. The Task Force attacked on the 16th of March and had freed the system within five days, destroying the Blakist ''Aegis''-class [[Immortal Spirit|WoBS ''Immortal Spirit'']] in the process and capturing the ''[[Newgrange]]''-class ''[[Blake's Mercy]]''.<ref name="JHS3076p48">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 48, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="JS:TBDp24">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 24-25, "Coventry"</ref><ref>BattleCorps scenario ''Fire in the Dark''</ref>

Although it wasn't initially known to [[Inner Sphere]] intelligence agencies whether the ''Red Talon'' had survived the [[Jihad]] and the [[Wars of Reaving]] or not<ref name="FR:Cp15">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 15, "Fleet Assets"</ref> the ''Red Talon'' did in fact survive, and remained in service with the Jade Falcons into the [[Dark Age]]. The ''Red Talon'' participated in the Jade Falcon invasion of the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] in [[3142]], destroying both the [[Kell Hounds]] and the Hell's Horses [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Beta Galaxy]] on [[Timkovichi]].<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', p. 193</ref>

The ''Red Talon'' was still in service in [[3145]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 157</ref>
