History[edit]
The 4th Falcon Talon was a Clan Jade Falcon Cluster which took part in Operation REVIVAL.
The unit was assigned to the invasion of Erewhon, where an Elemental Binary was sent to fight the Erewhon Militia entrenched in the capital city of Rangitata, while Star Captain Sophia Thastus fought MechWarrior Sigland Idleson in her Grasshopper. Both battles ended in a Jade Falcon victory.[1]
4th Falcon Talon was then bid to take Persistence in March 3050. The Cluster, without Trinary Bravo, faced off against the security forces of Persistence Munitions CEO Nichole Danderson in a disastrous showing for the Clan warriors. At Jestin Ridge, the Falcons were forced to regroup and flank the defenders, but not before the planetary militia fled into the wilderness, melting away to form a resistance that plagued many Jade Falcon worlds in the Invasion.[2]
The battle for La Grave was a turning point in warrior attitudes for the Clan. In December 3051, the Fifth Davion Guards were reassigned from the Clan Wolf front, having learned the honor rules common to the more hide-bound Clan warriors. The Spheroids did not count on the Jade Falcons learning new ways to fight war as well. An Elemental Headhunter Star decapitated the Federated forces, killing Hauptmann General William Galloway while soon concentrated Assault Star fire downed the subsequent commanding officer, Colonel James Allison. From then on, the Jade Falcons took a softer approach to breaking the rules of honor, at least when facing Inner Sphere forces, if necessary to counter their (expected) dezgra tactics.[3]
After the Trial of Tuakkyid and the halting of the invasion, the 4th Talon was transferred to Omicron Galaxy on the orders of saKhan Vandervahn Chistu, though rumors persisted it was due to the interpersonal conflict between Star Colonels Devinnia Guili of the 89th Falcon Striker and the 4th's Yesukai Shambag.[4]
