3rd Jaguar Cavaliers (Clan Smoke Jaguar)

The Third Jaguar Cavaliers were a unit of Clan Smoke Jaguar's Delta Galaxy. They were also responsible for some of the most disturbing combat during the invasion.

History

Operation Revival

Wave One

• Idlewind - Trinary Assault's Elementals were caught in a napalm trap, after which the entire Trinary was ordered to find the dishonourable surats that set the trap. During the search of the capital city the civilian took up arms against the invaders. The Trinary hunted down all armed insurgents killing half the civilian population in three hours.

Wave Four

• Jeronimo - The Cavaliers found the 5th Galedon Regulars defending hardened bunkers forcing Star Colonel Moon to call on reinforcements, these broke the Regular's lines and forced them to withdraw.

Wave Five

• Marshdale - The 6th Ghost regiment had been on planet over a year preparing defences before the Cavaliers attacked. The 6th Ghost led the Jaguars on wild chase across a trap filled continent, tiring of this Paul Moon ordered the capital city attacked to draw the defenders out. it work and the 6th Ghost were cut down.
• Battle of Luthien -

Post Tukayyid

They rebuilt after the Truce of Tukayyid on Hyner with warriors transferred in from shattered clusters; including Star Captain Trent.

During the years 3054 and 3055 they fought the Kat Killers a group of guerilla fighters on Hyner. The vicious behaviour of Star Colonel Paul Moon led Trent to believe that Clan Smoke Jaguar had abandoned the high ideals of the Clans. In 3058 the Third unsuccessfully attacked Matamoras. Trent used this opportunity to defect to ComStar.

Operation Bulldog

Wave One

• Hyner - As part of Operation Bird Dog, Rubinsky's Renegades landed on Hyner and began harassing the Third Jaguar Cavaliers. The planet was then attacked by the DCMS's Second Sword of Light, FWLM's 1st Regulan Hussars and the Com Guard 9th and 208th Divisions. Unprepared, the Third was unable to hold the planet and were subsequently destroyed. Star Colonel Paul Moon was severely wounded and extracted from the battlefield against his will by medical personnel.
