History
Operation Revival
The Cluster was frustrated during Operation Revival, consistently outbid for attacks on the worlds of the Draconis Combine by more senior Clusters. It wasn’t until the combined Smoke Jaguar/Nova Cat assault on Luthien in 3052 that the 267th was given an opportunity for combat. [1]
Wave Five
- Luthien - Sixty percent of the Cluster’s OmniMechs and Elemental Points made it back to the Jaguars’ waiting DropShips, and they barely had time to rebuild their losses before deployed to Tukayyid.[1]
Tukayyid
The unit fought on Tukayyid against the 367th Division (Spoken Ideas) in the Racice Delta as part of Beta Galaxy. [2] Here they were nearly slaughtered.[1] The Cluster was ordered to retreat when its Command Post was overrun, in an attempt to save as many warriors as possible. [3]
Post Tukayyid
The Cluster was rebuilt after thge losses on Tukayyid, however interestingly during this period several of its officers were reassigned to other units. [4] It was deployed to garrison the main base on Teniente by January 3054; [5] from here it sent out the occasional raiding Trials against the Draconis Combine.This base was a short-lived outpost on an otherwise Clan Nova Cat held world.
Their most visible action was a Trial of Possession declared for a Nova Cat Overlord-C class DropShip in 3056. In that action Trinary Assault fought with two Nova Binaries of the 100th Striker Cluster. The Warhawks and Dire Wolfs of the Assault Trinary shrugged off the BattleMechs and systematically annihilated every Elemental sent against them before the remainder fled outside the Circle of Equals. [6]
Operation Bulldog
By 3059 the Cluster was deployed to Outer Volta[7]
Counter Attack
- Meinacos - The 267th Battle Cluster dropped onto the planet to disrupt the SLDF advance. The Jaguar unit faced the 8th Dieron Regulars, the St. Ives Cheveau Legers, 1st Canopian Cuirassiers, and the 11th Alshain Avengers. Though the Clan unit fought well, they couldn't survive when the Eighth Dieron drove into the 267th Cluster's flank, while the 11th Alshain distracted them and the Canopian Cuirassiers threatened to cut off the Clan unit's retreat. Diane Perez pulled her forces back to the mountains to regroup, receiving the retreat orders they boarded their DropShips and left without another major engagement. [8]
Wave Three
- Outer Volta - An Omega Trinary from the Cluster comprising mostly Star League and Clan second line Mechs was attached to Beta Galaxy Command on Outer Volta and destroyed in combat against the Izanagi Warriors and 8th Sword of Light on 4th August 3059. [9]
