Planetary History[edit]

Clan Invasion of 3050[edit]

Jeronimo was targeted by Clan Smoke Jaguar during their Fourth Wave of Operation REVIVAL in September 3050. Star Colonel Paul Moon led the Trial of Possession against the planet's defenders, the Fifth Galedon Regulars, against whom he had originally bid Trinary Assault and Binary Elemental from his Third Jaguar Cavaliers. However after several hours of intense fighting in the Topside Woods the Fifth Galedon proved too much and Moon was forced to call down the Cluster's Second Trinary Battle to overcome them. In the end the Combine forces only managed to get a battalion and a half of their own forces off the planet.[31]

The Seventeenth Recon Regiment were under contract to defend the planet alongside the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery when Clan Smoke Jaguar attacked. The defenders were swiftly forced to retreat, with the combined remnants of the Caballeros and DCMS falling back into the Contra-Pelagian Mountains in an attempt to withdraw from the world as the Jaguars pressed the attack. The chosen evacuation site was the caldera of a dormant volcano in a region rich in metal ores that interfered with the Jaguars' sensor systems. The Caballeros launched repeated, brutal ambushes to slow the Jaguars - who they referred to as tigres - with the last such ambush taking place close to the evacuation point.[32]

A Star of OmniMechs had ranged ahead of the Jaguar main strength, chasing down the retreating troops, only to be ambushed by Patricia in turn. Acting alone, she swiftly killed the pilot of the Puma leading the Star before turning the fight into a melee by attacking each of the other four OmniMechs, forcing them to engage her rather than continue their pursuit.[32][33] In addition to the Puma, Patsy also downed a Vulture, and damaged all of the other Clan 'Mechs.[33] Her father had tried to join the fight with the remnants of the Caballeros' First Battalion, but his forces were too slow to reach the battle, arriving after one of the Jaguars had crushed Patricia's cockpit, killing her. The wrathful Caballeros fell on the remaining OmniMechs and slaughtered them, with Carlos overheating his own BattleMaster as he repeatedly fired its PPC into the cockpit of the Mad Cat that had killed Patricia, and the Caballeros dragged away the remains of that 'Mech as a trophy.[32]

Operation BULLDOG[edit]

During Operation BULLDOG, the reborn SLDF launched their offensive campaign to remove Clan Smoke Jaguar from Draconis Combine worlds in 3059. When word of the attacks of enemy forces began to ring out, part of the garrison force consisting of Delta Galaxy's Command Trinary and Third Assault Cluster launched their own counterattack, leaving elements of Clan Smoke Jaguar's Omega Galaxy to fend off attacks by Fourteenth Alshain Avengers and other elite SLDF forces. Two garrison forces, the Tenth Jaguar Regulars Cluster and Omega's Command Trinary fought fiercely against the SLDF. However, the when they received recall order, the Tenth Jaguars Regulars fought delaying action to allow their Command Trinary to escape. The SLDF forces only left six survivors among the Jaguar Warriors.[34]
