Gyrfalcon Eyrie (Clan Jade Falcon)

History

The Gyrfalcon Eyrie Cluster was originall attached to Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] during Operation Revival. It was rebuilt by Marthe Pryde to reinforce the Jade Falcon Touman after the Refusal War with Clan Wolf.

They took part in the Coventry Metal Works in the fight for Coventry. Prior to the assault it's 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. 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.

During the fighting on Coventry, the Gyrfalcon Eyrie was commanded by Star Colonel Devin Buhallin.
