The Clan Smoke Jaguar Occupation Zone was the Inner Sphere territory held by Clan Smoke Jaguar after the Truce of Tukayyid.

History[edit]

Out of the most aggressive Clans in Operation REVIVAL, Clan Smoke Jaguar chose to attack the Draconis Combine. Their reasons for doing so was due to the belief that the Combine were worthy foes. In addition, the Jaguars also believed that they were responsible for helping Stefan Amaris destroy the Star League. The Jaguars brought their brutal mentality to not only the soldiers of the DCMS but its citizens as well. They treated civilians poorly akin to the Londerholm Revolt and spurned help from Inner Sphere advisers on how to manage the populace. On top of this, Jaguar warriors abused their captives taking their anger and aggression out on them when they reacted poorly to news like the hearing of Clan Wolf's rapid progress. This would cause the populace to rise up against their oppressors. The Jaguars' most infamous example of their butchery was the massacre of Turtle Bay after they failed to recapture Theodore Kurita's son, Hohiro Kurita.[1] The Jaguars would pay for their harsh rule and brutality in the form of the Second Star League. As a consequence of the Smoke Jaguars' brutal nature, they would lose all of their holdings in the Inner Sphere and get annihilated during the Great Refusal.[2]

Evicting the Smoke Jaguars[edit]

When the new Star League was created, the House Lords would determine which Clan should be annihilated as a show of force. It would be decided that Clan Smoke Jaguar would be that candidate, not only because they were one of the most powerful Crusader Clans in existence, but also due to their brutal actions and harsh nature during the Clan Invasion. Operation BIRD DOG was launched to soften the forces of the Smoke Jaguars. Later on, Operation BULLDOG was created to push Clan Smoke Jaguar out of the Inner Sphere permanently. Having already irritated their fellow Clans by their actions, no Invading Clan would bother to help the Smoke Jaguars. The Star League would liberate worlds one by one until the Smoke Jaguars were removed from the Inner Sphere and defeated during the Great Refusal on their capital planet.
