Clan Jade Falcon Remnants

The Clan Jade Falcon Remnants are a separated group of Clan Jade Falcon, separated from the main clan and the only one still in the Hinterlands, led by Khan Jiyi Chistu.

History

After Chinggis Khan Malvina Hazen took the almost totality of the Falcon Touman to participate at the Battle of Terra, left behind barely some Solahmas While the Falcons as a whole had left their Occupation Zone, not every member of the Clan followed. Of those left behind, two in particular rose to prominence. Jiyi Chistu had been a Star Captain serving under Malvina Hazen, until he grew disillusioned with her methods. Reassigned to protect one of the Falcons' precious VaultShips, he cultivated the loyalty of those serving under him and grew to respect the merchants who crewed the ship. By mid-3151, Chistu and his comrades were cut off from central leadership, left only with confusing reports coming from Terra ranging from a Falcon victory to a resurgent Word of Blake. It was then that his ship received a recall order from the Clan's Merchant Factor, Marena.

Marena had risen through the ranks of the Falcon merchant caste for decades, gaining great influence for her skilled management of the Falcons' economy. After the chaos erupted in the prior Falcon occupation Zone, which became the Hinterlands, she saw her opportunity. Moving swiftly to secure the planet Alyina, overthrowing the rule of the warrior caste as she sought to build a new nation based on commerce. On 20 July, 3151, Marena declared herself the Syndic of a new government, the Alyina Mercantile League.

While most of the VaultShips heeded the recall order and fell inline behind the new Syndic, VaultShip Gamma, the ship to which Chistu had been assigned, was impeccably loyal to Chistu and, through him, Clan Jade Falcon. Rather than join the AML, a council made not only of warriors, but lower castes, unanimously elected Chistu their new Khan. Among his first actions was to invite Marena to his capitol of Sudeten to find a path forward together. Marena informed Chistu that she and her nation were no longer subject to Clan rule, and offered Chistu a place as the leader of her armies. Unable to fathom swearing fealty to a merchant, the talks ended almost as soon as they began.

Relationships

The Clan Jade Falcon's Remnants Khan, Jiyi Chistu hadn't had any contact with his separate Clan, which now served the IlClan on Terra. It is unknown how the new Khan Stephanie Chistu will react to his changes or keep him in place if they return from there, which makes the Remnants a de facto separate entity. Clan Hell's Horses have made their hostility clear toward the Falcon Remnants, and is unknown if the new Khan, Fulk Lassenerra will treat them as a "real" Clan, but very doubtful he didn't attack them again. The Lyran Commonwealth is another possible enemy for the Remnants, and the AML too, as Marena had sought help from the Tamar Pact against them, but to the date, the Falcon's only nearby enemy which had attacked them, besides the Horses, is the Tamar Pact.

Military

The military forces of the Clan Jade Falcon Remnants are very limited, described as a 'rather motley assortment of Clan Warriors robbed from the cradle or rescued from the nursing home, forcing them to accept the help or even contract mercenaries like the Lone Wolves.
