Unit Description

The Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star was a Clan Jade Falcon military formation consisting of a Star of WarShips. The unit was led by its flagship the Nightlord Class Battleship, Emerald Talon.

History

Operation Revival

During Operation Revival in September and October of 3050, the Emerald Talon led its Naval Star to take the world of Zoetermeer. It forced the planet's defenders consisting of the 10th Donegal Guards & Alpha Battalion of the 12th Star Guards to surrender or face planetary bombardment. However, unknown to the defenders, Star Admiral Adrian Malthus was under orders not to bombard the planet.[1]

By 3059 the Star had moved back to the Homeworlds and was attached to Sigma Galaxy as part of the Turkina's Talons force. It was based at the naval facilities in the Ironhold system up to at least 3067.[2][3][4]

In November 3069 the Vipers launched assaults against Jade Falcon holdings in the Homeworlds. The Viper fleet drove off the Emerald Talon Naval Assault Star from the Ironhold system before launching its ground assault. The Star did manage to destroy a small number of Viper DropShips before they landed.[5]

Officers

In 3050 the Commanding Officer was Star Admiral Adrian Malthus, he was still in command in 3067.[1][4]
