Furious, Kelswa returned to Tamar City to prepare his own defenses, refusing to cooperate with any AFFC officials, even those of the Twenty-sixth Guards, despite their years of service as Tamar's principal defenders. On 7 November, [[3051]], [[saKhan]] [[Natasha Kerensky]] of [[Clan Wolf]] arrived in orbit over Tamar, leading the Wolves' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Alpha Galaxy]]. The former command of [[Nicholas Kerensky]], the Dire Wolves were arguably the premier formation in all the Clans, the elite of the elite. [[Marshal (rank)|Marshal]] [[Joy Corelli]] accepted Kerensky's ''[[batchall]]'', and arranged [[26th Lyran Guards|her defenses]] between the Clan landing zones and Tamar City. The first major clash between the two forces came at Shonick Dale, where the Wolves attempted to break through the Lyran lines of defense. Although they held for six hours against Kerensky, the Wolves' second attempt came at night and drove the Guards back amidst vicious fighting. Corelli reorganized at Smitton, a village north of the capital, organizing her troops in the thick forests to offset Clan air cover and their superior weapon ranges. Unfortunately, this allowed two [[Elemental (Battle Armor)#Variants|Elemental head hunter]] [[Star (Clan)|Stars]] to easily penetrate their lines, sowing confusion and chaos. When Alpha Galaxy attacked, they were forced to pull back once again. When they attempted to organize again at Tamar City, they were denied entry by Duke Kelswa, who by this point had gone mad. The Twenty-sixth Guards reluctantly set up their defenses outside the city walls, awaiting the coming Wolves. The following day, the assault began with a series of air strikes, followed up with harrying attacks by the [[13th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|Thirteenth Wolf Guards]]. With nowhere left to run, Corelli decided to preserve the remainder of her forces and retreat offworld. Offering transport to Kelswa, the Duke declined and would ultimately die with his men, but did send his daughter, [[Morasha Kelswa]], along with the Guards. Steiner's Boots retreated to [[Kobe]].<ref name=WCS4344T-26LG-1>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', pp. 43–44: "Tamar", the Twenty-sixth Lyran Guards oppose Alpha Galaxy on Tamar, evacuating with Morasha Kelswa</ref><ref name=ER3052-137-T-1>''Era Report: 3052'', p. 137: "Situation", the Twenty-sixth Lyran Guard opposes the Clan invaders</ref> Not long thereafter, the Wolves attacked the capital, leading to the destruction of the [[Kelswa Guard]] and the [[Tamar War College Training Battalion]], with both units fighting almost to the death.

The Blakists didn't land ground forces; instead, the attack consisted of seventeen nuclear strikes aimed at a number of heavily populated areas, including the Clan Wolf headquarters. Much of Tamar's infrastructure, including its spaceports, was wrecked and thousands of laborer and technician caste civilians were slain along with the Wolf [[SaKhan of Clan Wolf|saKhan]] Marialle Radick and many Alpha Galaxy warriors. 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]].<ref name="J:FRp48">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 48: "The Jihad In Review"</ref><ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 117: "Ivan Kerensky"</ref><ref name=M&Mp120-121>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', pp. 120–121: "Tamar"</ref> |
The Wolves determinedly repaired and rebuilt the damaged portions of the planet, turning Tamar into an armed camp. The [[War College of Tamar]], closed after the Wolf conquest two decades earlier, was reopened to bolster the Clan's depleted MechWarrior ranks and the planet served as a final assembly destination for BattleMechs.
