Though considered cautious outside the combat arena by his Clan peers, William Perez constantly threw himself into battle, personally leading his troops into every conflict. His ferocious recklessness was unmatched during his Galaxy’s actions in preparing for Operation REVIVAL.<ref name=HTPL8/>

Perez’s reputation took a huge hit when rumors about possible [[Warden]] beliefs began circulating through the Clan Council. As they gained momentum, he faced a marked increase in challenges to his position. In [[3048]], Perez was transferred to [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Kappa Galaxy]] as the invasion of the Inner Sphere began.<ref name=HTPL8/>

[[Operation BIRD DOG]] opened the SLDF attack on the Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone.  On 21 May 3059, Allen's Animals, a company detached from the [[Third Davion Guards]], quietly landed on Luzerne, but the Galaxy Commander left the defense of the Lawrence Pass supply depot to the [[4th_Garrison_(Clan_Smoke_Jaguar)|Fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster]].  Watching the raiders movements against the Fourth PGC, Galaxy Commander Perez attacked with his [[Kappa_Galaxy_Command_Trinary_(Clan_Smoke_Jaguar)|Kappa Galaxy Command Trinary]], pursuing them until Allen's Animals were strung across the countryside, only stopping when a heavy storm allowed their prey cover to go to ground. <ref> ''Historical Turning Points: Luzerne'', p. 10-11 </ref>

The full attack on Luzerne was included in the Second Wave of [[Operation BULLDOG]] on 30 June 3059. Refused ''[[safcon]]'', the incoming SLDF forces were cut in half in orbit by Epsilon Galaxy Naval forces that were transferring the nascent Sixth Striker Cluster to the planet.  The [[Third Davion Guards]] and [[208th_Division_(ComStar)|208th Division]] were scattered and attempted to acquire supplies at Old Mesa Commons, though the Jaguar units were ordered to conserve ammunition, not destroy supplies unless under threat of being taken, and minimize attrition. The Galaxy Commander did not rescind ''[[zellbrigen]]'', allowing the ComStar 'Mechs to tie up the Jaguars and giving the transports time to abscond with much of their supplies. <ref> ''Historical Turning Points: Luzerne'', p. 13 </ref>

While the attackers had been pushed back to three SLDF outposts, Thün was their main supply base.  The Jaguar forces attacked all three, hoping to catch the Spheroids unawares. Galaxy Commander Perez was killed leading the diversionary attack at the Lawrence Pass by the combined Davion/ComStar group. Planet defense fell to Star Colonel [[Samantha Kotare]] of the Sixth Striker. <ref name=HTPL14> ''Historical Turning Points: Luzerne'', p. 14 </ref>
