The so called Scouring of Tamar was an nuclear attack of the Word of Blake against the planet Tamar, capital of Clan Wolf occupation Zone, during the Jihad.
History
The Word of Blake Jihad didn't affected directly the Clans initially. However, even busy fighting almost all the other Successor States at the same time, directly or indirectly, the Blakists's deep hate of the Clans made an attack inevitable. The Jihad reached the Wolves the 28th of December 3070. The Blakists didn't land ground forces on Tamar; instead, the attack consisted of nuclear strikes aimed at a number of heavily populated areas, including the Clan Wolf headquarters. The attack on Tamar, capital world of the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone, coincided with an attack on Arc-Royal, the capital world of Clan Wolf-in-Exile.[1] On the 1st of April 3080 Tamar was re-established as the capital world for Clan Wolf in the wake of the Jihad.[2] The bombardment proved to be a devastating blow against Clan Wolf, as 17 separate nuclear explosions killed over 2.5 million people, with SaKhan Marialle Radick representing the most prominent fatality. The First Wolf Assault Cluster and the Golden Keshik were effectively destroyed, with the rest of Alpha Galaxy taking severe losses with two-thirds of their defending ground forces wiped out. Multiple factories were annihilated, severely crippling the Clan's military industrial complex.[3]
Consequences
The Wolves losses were enormous: The planet's key infrastructures, industrial and administrative (even more important, because the Wolves, previously, have refused to build industries in his Occupation zone, relying mostly of those they have in the Clan Homeworlds) was lost. The full extent of damage wasn't known for months, and was enormous: good portion of Tamar's infrastructure had been shattered, and a large portion of Tiberius continent's power grid was disrupted. The planetary HPG was destroyed too. Also, the scouring of Tamar demoralized the Wolf touman, leaving them very vulnerable to the Clan Hell's Horses invasion.[4]
Legacy
The Wolves weakness forced Ward to make bold moves: to arrange a truce with the Lyran Commonwealth, negotiate the acquisition of new forces from Clan Coyote. Fearing than his Clan's weakness attracted more enemies, Vlad ordered an immediate communication blackout, hidden the devastation until the Khan itself announced it to the Grand Council, calling for reprisals against the Blakists. However, this move didn't accomplished nothing: the Clans were too focused in their Wars of Reaving.[5]
However, the destruction of Clan Wolf master genetic Repository had much more immediate consequences: most of the scientists personnel was killed, and over ninety percent of the legacies are destroyed or unable to be used, by the radiation flooding. The need for clean genetic legacies to rebuild the repository, and the Clan Hell's Horses invasion of the rear of Clan Wolf occupation zone decided the Wolf Clan Vlad Ward to make a bold movement: his Clan abandonment of the Clan Homeworlds, launching Operation DAMOCLES II, one of which main targets was, precisely, the retrieval of Wolves genetic legacies on Strana Mechty[6]
