Like most Clans pre-[[Operation REVIVAL|REVIVAL]], there was little use for supra-Galaxy naval formations for [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. Bandit hunting was the most any vessel could expect regularly, with inter-Clan naval warfare rare or ended before any major damage could be inflicted. The return to the Inner Sphere changed the [[Jade Falcon]] ''touman'' dramatically. All WarShips and transports in Occupation Zone reported to [[Star Admiral]] [[Vishu Folkner]], a command position second only to the Khans.<ref name="FMCCp99">''Field Manual Crusader Clans'', p. 99</ref> In addition, two Naval Stars were in use at the time of REVIVAL:

* [[Emerald_Talon_Naval_Assault_Star_(Clan_Jade_Falcon)|Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star]], an independent unit in existence in the [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworlds]] and expected to see great honor in restoring the Star League. Instead used as transports and escort for Clusters when the Inner Sphere was found to lack Warships. Returned to the [[Clan Homeworlds|Homeworlds]] following the battles at [[Twycross]] and bluff at [[Zoetermeer]],<ref name=CJFSBp55>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 55: "Jade Falcon Naval Reserve"</ref> and became part of [[Turkina%27s Talons|Turkina’s Talons]], the Homeworld defense group.<ref name="FMCCp108">''Field Manual Crusader Clans'', p. 108</ref> 
* [[Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star]], newly raised to protect deep Periphery convoys, with a station at [[Cambridge]] Perimeter Defense Station (Orbital Fleet Base).

The years after the [[Wars of Reaving]], the [[Jihad]], and the relocation of the Clan to the Inner Sphere put a strain on the [[WarShip]] fleet. The [[Butler Ship Yards]] were unable to perform more than basic maintenance and civilian vessels were a priority to rebuild.<ref name=FM85p118>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 118: "The Falcon's Fleet"</ref>

The rise of [[Malvina Hazen]] and the [[Mongol Doctrine]] among the Jade Falcons saw in increased willingness to use the WarShips still available to her. The Falcons did not move to a [[DropShip#Pocket_WarShip|Pocket Warship]] or [[Assault DropShip]] heavy force, as did so many other Clans in the Republic years.<ref name=FM85p118>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 118: "The Falcon's Fleet"</ref> This was often an advantage against the [[Lyran Commonwealth]], who lacked sufficient aerospace fighters to counter the large Warships that are providing surface artillery support. However, any force able to make space-bound interceptions can worry the Falcon's escort-weak convoys.<ref name="FM3145p157">''Field Manual 3145'', p. 157: "The Jade Falcon Fleet"</ref>
