==Brief==
In late [[3057]], Clan Jade Falcon engaged in the [[Refusal War]], a massive [[Trial of Refusal]] against former [[ilKhan of the Clans|ilKhan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]] and his [[Clan Wolf]], fought within Clan Jade Falcon's [[Occupation Zone]] in a series of brutal combat engagements. In its wake, the bulk of Clan Wolf was defeated and absorbed, but at a steep cost to Clan Jade Falcon, the Wolves having gutted the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Falcon ''touman'']] of valuable combat forces in the process. With their armed forces reduced to a mere shadow of their pre–Refusal War strength, the Falcons were left increasingly vulnerable to potential [[Trial of Absorption|Absorption]] by other Clans. Shortly after the war, the Clan would also go through an upheaval of its leadership. With both [[Khan]]s dead and Clan Wolf reborn from its very ranks, [[Marthe Pryde]] emerged as the Jade Falcons' new supreme leader.  She began a crash course of ramping up her sundered military.  The ranks of her depleted Clusters would be filled with inexperienced cadets graduated early from their schools.  She brought these would-be warriors to the Falcons' Occupation Zone border. There she selected units that would assemble an expeditionary force consisting of these unblooded troops. The expedition's aim would be to gain experience for these unblooded warriors at the cost of Lyran troops, while proving to all factions that the Falcons were still a force to be reckoned with.
