==History==
The '''Gyrfalcon Eyrie''' Cluster was originally attached to [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] during [[Operation Revival]]<ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 49</ref> and had fought on [[Tukayyid]].<ref>''The Battle of Coventry'', p. 19</ref> It was rebuilt by [[Marthe Pryde]] to reinforce the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Jade Falcon ''touman'']] after the [[Refusal War]] with [[Clan Wolf]].<ref name="otpfi13">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 13</ref>

Took the [[Coventry Metal Works]] in the fight for [[Coventry]].
 
 
===[[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)]]===
 
They took part in the [[Coventry Metal Works]] in the fight for [[Coventry]]. Prior to the assault, its warriors had never worked together, even in a training exercise. This lack of coordination would hamper them throughout the campaign. In the initial landings, for example, the Coventry Aerospace Defense Force was able to force the Gyrfalcon Eyrie's DropShips to land further away from the plant than intended.<ref name="otpfi23">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 23</ref> Early on in the ground fight around the CMW complex, the Gyrfalcon Eyrie and the [[Coventry DMM]] both lost their command staff. This led to a chaotic battle that allowed the Lyran unit to escape. The Gyrfalcons spent the rest of the campaign trying to run the Lyran forces to ground, but their inexperience worked against them.<ref name="otpfi24">''Operational Turning Points: Falcon Incursion'', p. 24</ref>
 
 
 
===3070===
 
Assigned to [[Blair Atholl]] and the live-fire exercises agreed to after the [[Clan_Jade_Falcon#Incursion_of_3064|Jade Falcon Incursion]] of 3064, the Gyrfalcon Eyrie joined the other Eyrie Clusters on planet to drive the Clan-traitors of [[Snord's Irregulars]] from the world in 3070. The mercenaries instead used their knowledge of Clan warfare and experience to lay ambushes and confound the warriors in training, leading them on a six-month-long series of traps and a war of attrition. The result of which was the near-destruction of the Gyrfalcon Eyrie and the survivors' absorption into the other Eryies.<ref name="MSU108">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 108</ref>
