History[edit]
The Gyrfalcon Eyrie Cluster was originally attached to Delta Galaxy during Operation Revival[1] and had fought on Tukayyid.[2] It was rebuilt by Marthe Pryde to reinforce the Jade Falcon touman after the Refusal War with Clan Wolf.[3]
Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)[edit]
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.[4] 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.[5]
3070[edit]
Assigned to Blair Atholl and the live-fire exercises agreed to after the 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.[6]
