Clan Jade Falcon

Revision as of 17:00, 19 October 2006 by Bheiss (talk | contribs)

Clan Jade Falcon is an ardent Crusader Clan who views Clan Wolf as their most hated rival. The Jade Falcons recognize four founding members: Lisa Buhallin, Daniel Mattlov, Carl Icaza, and Elizabeth Hazen. Elizabeth Hazen is the one most well-regarded by the clan, for she is believed to have been the first to tame a jade falcon, a genetically engineered mix of peregrine and gyrfalcon, designed to combat native pests on the Clan colonial worlds. Hazen's jade falcon was named Turkina, and the stories of the two are the foundation for much of the clan's myths.

Operation Revival

Clan Jade Falcon launched the first of five major assualt waves on the Inner Sphere on March 20th, 3050 with attacks on 10 Federated Commonwealth planets. Their second wave of attacks began in May 3050 and conquered 12 worlds from the Federated Commonwealth, meeting minimal resistance. Due to supply problems, the third wave of attacks was directed at only 5 worlds. The supply problem was fixed and in the fourth wave, 15 planets were to be attacked, but the Clan faced some setbacks, including the FedCom counter-attack on Twycross and the death of the staunch Crusader ilKhan Leo Showers. This caused Jade Falcon and the other Clans to withdraw all Bloodnamed troops to Strana Mechty to elect a new ilKahn. After a year of peace, the Falcons were jointly paired with Clan Steel Viper to continue the invasion, in November 3051. Clan Steel Viper won bidding rights for assualts on three worlds, and won Trials of Possession for another two worlds. Out of the original seven worlds selected for the fifth wave assualt, the Jade Falcons were only allowed to assualt and claim two. At Tukayyid, the Falcons were outfought by the ComGuards, resulting in a tactical draw. Aidan Pryde of the Falcon Guards was responsible for much of the positive outcomes of the battle.
