Clan Jade Falcon Remnants

Revision as of 07:27, 29 September 2022 by Nuclear-Fridge (talk | contribs) (→‎History: Spelling fix)

The Clan Jade Falcon Remnants are an independent splinter group of Clan Jade Falcon, separated from the main clan forces on Terra. They are the last remaining Jade Falcon presence in the Hinterlands, led by Khan Jiyi Chistu.[1]

History

After Chinggis Khan Malvina Hazen took nearly all of the Falcon Touman to participate at the Battle of Terra, all that was left behind were a few barely operational Solahma units. 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.[2]

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, Marena overthrew the ruling 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.[3] She sent out a recall order to all the Falcon VaultShips scattered throughout space, ordering them to return to Alyina.

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, the VaultShip crew created a council made up of both warriors and lower castes that 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.[4]

Relationships

Now ruling as the Clan Jade Falcon's Remnants Khan, Jiyi Chistu has not communicated with the original Jade Falcon force, which now serve the IlClan on Terra. It is unknown how the new Khan Stephanie Chistu will react to Jiyi Chistu's changes or if she will move to depose him should they ever return, which makes the Remnants a de facto separate entity.[5] 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.[6] The Lyran Commonwealth is another possible enemy for the Remnants, along with the AML, as Marena had sought help from the Tamar Pact against the Falcon Remnants. To date, the Remnants' enemies appear to be the Hell's Horses and Tamar Pact.[7]

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.[8]
