History

The Third Falcon Dragoons were created with extensive use of abtakha warriors after the Refusal War. The unit consists of isorla from Clan Fire Mandrill and Clan Snow Raven (the 11th Raven Battle). The Mandrills and one Trinary of Snow Ravens did not adapt to their new life as Jade Falcons very well. In 3059 they were stationed on Ironhold.[1]

The Dragoons were stationed on Huntress in 3067.[2] In November 3069 the Steel Vipers' Ninety-third Assault Cluster assaulted the Jade Falcon holdings on Huntress. They made a combat drop onto the Falcon's Eyrie position and then used their DropShips as planetary transport to hunt down and destroy the Third.[3]
