On the second day of the battle, the 315th Battle [[Cluster]] was targeted by the [[1st Genyosha|First Genyosha]] and the [[Kell Hounds]], who inflicted enough damage on the Jaguar unit to force a hole in the Clan lines. The resulting breach and subsequent assault caused so much damage to Clan forces that [[Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis|Osis]] considered retreat.
<u>Luthien</u><br>
 
On the second day of the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|battle]] in January 3052, the 315th Battle Cluster was engaged in the [[Kado-guchi Valley]] here it was targeted by the [[1st Genyosha|First Genyosha]] and the [[Kell Hounds]], who inflicted enough damage on the Jaguar unit to force a hole in the Clan lines. The resulting breach and subsequent assault caused so much damage to Clan forces that [[Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis|Osis]] considered retreat.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 61</ref> However in pushing the 315th Battle Cluster back a hole had opened in the defenders own line that the [[22nd Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Twenty-second Jaguar Regulars]] pushed into breaking through the Otomo and 2nd Legion of Vega. This counterthrust was short-lived as the Twenty-second were surrounded by [[Alpha Regiment (Wolf's Dragoons)|Alpha Regiment]] of Wolf's Dragoons. This blow was the last straw and the Jaguars were forced to perform a fighting retreat. The Valley had become a massive killing zone. When the battle was over, hundreds of burning 'Mechs streaked the sky with smoke. The Clan force was defeated and the few Clan warriors that survived the battle were taken prisoner.<ref name=ICp62>''Invading Clans'', p. 62</ref>
 
 
 
The 315th Battle was destroyed on Luthien and not reconstituted.

==Notes==
* The 315th Battle was destroyed on Luthien and not reconstituted.
+
* The 315th Battle is not mentioned in the 3058 rosters, so is presumed to have been destroyed on Luthien and not reconstituted.
* The 315th had to have belonged to either [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Beta]] or [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Delta]] Galaxies. They were recorded fighting alongside the [[22nd Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)| Twenty-second Jaguar Regulars]] thought to have been attached to Beta Galaxy.
+
* The 315th had to have belonged to either [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Beta]] or [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Delta]] Galaxies.
* There appears to be some confusion regarding the 315th Battle Cluster mentioned in [[Invading Clans]] and the 315th Jaguar Battle Galaxy from the ''[[Luthien (scenario pack)|Luthien]]'' scenario pack.
 
* Leslie, the commander of the 315th Battle, is listed as a Galaxy Commander in the ''Luthien'' scenario pack.  However, Star Colonels usually command Clusters.  This is tied to the confusion regarding references to the Cluster being a Galaxy.
