In August or September of [[3049]],<ref name=er3052>''Era Report: 3052''</ref> the Killers were one of the first organized [[Inner Sphere]] forces to engage the Clans—in this case, Clan Smoke Jaguar. Like many Inner Sphere commanders to follow, Valasek abused the Jaguar's bid and lured them into an ambush. First detonating several DropShips packed with explosives, he then led the Jaguar forces on a merry chase through minefields and days of guerrilla attacks. The incensed Jaguars slaughtered nearly all of the Killers over the following weeks (at the cost of their initial bid of nine [[OmniMechs]] and a Star of [[Elemental]] infantry, as well as many of the Jaguar reinforcements). Valasek himself escaped off-world, using his personal ''[[BattleMaster]]'' as a decoy.<ref name=INC53>''Invading Clans'', pp. 53–54</ref>

Although it took several years for news of the Killers' fate to reach [[ComStar]] and the rest of the Inner Sphere, they ceased to exist as a fighting force with Valasek's escape. While he always dreamed of reestablishing his pirates and taking the battle to the Clans once more, that dream died in obscurity with Valasek himself. [[ComStar]] would later speculate that the aggressive and dishonorable (if effective) tactics of the Killers helped prejudice the Jaguars against all Inner Sphere forces.{{cn}}
