3067

  • December 3067 [1]
    The Grand Council debates renewing of the invasion after hearing about the collapse of the 2nd Star League, with Brett Andrews calling for a new ilKhan before the campaigns starts again. Nominees are Khan Garrett Sainze (Fire Mandrill), Khan Andrews (Steel Viper), and Khan Stanislov N’Buta (Star Adder) => no clear winner => Snow Raven failed with their attempt to convince the Council to use the situation for invasion.
  • On Tiber [2]: Wolf and Horses fight for planetary dominance => 82nd Mechanized Calvary Clusters battle the Red Keshik => The Wolves used dezgra tactics and the Horses (65th Mechanized Strike Clusters, 229th Mechanized Strike Clusters, 53rd BattleMech Clusters and 85th BattleMech Cluster) crushed the Keshik and secured Tiber.
  • 17 December 3067 [3] - Nouveaux Paris: Clan Star Adder surprised the Horses in the system. The Horses make a deal with the Adders. To keep the base secret the Horses lose Hoard and the base could be used by the Adder's Upsilon Galaxy for further deep space exploration.

3068

  • 3068 - Rasalhague: Hell's Horses assault the planet to get better information about the conditions in the Inner Sphere. The Trial had two part first all information from the Ghost Bear and further the cargo of several Dropships with new technology. The 91st Mechanized Assault Cluster (Epsilon Galaxy) won both engagements. The Horses make a deal with the Snow Ravens afterwards. In exchange for Bearclaw they received a mobile shipyard [4]
  • 3068 Snow Raven avenged the lost Ship: White Cloud with the raids on Enif, Galedon, and Tabayama. The Outworld support the operation with their 1st Alliance Air Wing and the 2nd Long Road Legion.
  • 3068 York - Because Blood Spirits lost the Elemental Facility 4 to the Star Adders. The Spirits won the entire Raven Zeta Galaxy and also aerospace sibkos. The new troops recapture the plant. A warship of the Adders was destroyed (CSA Constantineau by the CSR Snowflake) during the delivery.
  • Clan Ice Hellion make secret agreements with Clan Hell's Horses after noticing the preparations made by them. The Horses launched harvest trials against the Hellion on Hoards [5]. Also, on Tranquil, Alpha Galaxy (11th Mechanized Cluster + 22nd Mechanized Clusters vs. 1st Wolf Regulars + Green Keshik, as reserve 12th Wolf Regulars + 13th Wolf Regulars + 2nd Wolf Cavalry + 5th Wolf Cavalry) [6] captured a large portion from the Wolves. These actions started to distract the other clans from their other preparations. The Wolf regained much of their lost territory until the beginning of 3069.

3069

  • Clan Hell's Horses were forced to leave Tranquil because they lost too many warriors in the ongoing campaign, further two other Horse planets were assaulted by the Fire Mandrill for opportunistic matters. They had recently acquired the 45th Striker Irregulars + 7th Hector Cavaliers defended Niles and Kirin. [7]
  • Kirin: Kindraa Mick-Kreese-Kline assault the world with the 32nd Vanguard Cluster + 4th Elemental Assault Force Cluster + 27th Vanguard Clusters. They could securing Kirin Mechworks but the response arrived by the Horses’ Delta Galaxy [8]. The Madrill were repelled from the planet.
  • Niles: Kindraa Sainze + Mick-Kreese-Kline invaded the world. The defense lay in the hands of elements from the Eta Galaxy (HH). The defenders were overwhelmed after several days of combat by the invaders [9]. Beta Galaxy from the Horses arrived as reinforcement and recaptured the enclave with 4 clusters. As per usual, internal rivalry broke out, but it was calmed by the Loremaster Cassandra Faraday. The material was divided between the Kindraas in exchange for political support. Most of it was further gained by Kindraa Sainze via trials. Sainze developed the electrical armor.
  • Clan Coyote try to use the growing differences in the interclan relations of the Mandrills to their best effect. The Mandrill overall Khan delayed the developments massive, but the isolated Kindraa Mattila-Carrol were ready to get support from outside. As a result the Coyote gets material of the new armor, a portion of Shadow with the scientist facilities of former Mandrills and losing only a few sibkos. The Kindras increased its roster with the new recruits and had also 2 Cluster of new ProtoMechs. [10] The reaction of the remaining Clans was foreseeable. A coalition of Kindraas (Mick-Kreese-Kline + Sainze+ Faraday-Tanaga) tried to force the Coyote off Shadow, but the 4 Cluster strong garrison force defended their new gains fiercely. After several weeks of combat, the attacking Mandrills were forced to give up in light of the horrendous losses. [11] The Kindraa Payne-Beyl-Grant chose a separate way and began a series of raids against the Coyotes in late 3069. Targets were Shadow and Foster (main target: Savage Coyote facility). Over Shadow a naval engagement took place after the CFM Reaver (a Sovetskii Soyuz-class Heavy Cruiser) exchanged shots with the Coyote vessel Windrunner (Essex-class Destroyer). That action was enough for the Coyotes. The Kindraa lost two cluster (17th Auxiliary Cluster + 1st Striker Payne Cluster) in the fight on the surface. [12]
  • Lum: The planet saw two large naval battles in short time. First the Star Adder make a Trial for the space surrounding the planet which was defended by the Lum Garrison Fleet. The reason for the assault was the interference on York during the delivery of the Zeta Galaxy to the Blood Spirits. The Adders came to punish the Ravens. Both sides suffer serious losses and the Adders retreat. The Goliath Scorpions came close after them to the planet. The Scorpions also declared a Trial of Possession for the yards. The wounded Ravens answered with full force. After an accident, the attackers destroyed the Blood Talon at the yards. The defenders lost all assets within three days of fighting with the Scorpions. The Scorpions used the opportunity to their fullest advantage. All valuable resources were relocated to Scorpion territory. The Raven leaders were enraged about the events, but failed with their attempt to blame the Scorpions to use devastating tactics against critical assets in their opinion. The Grand Council did not follow the demands of the Ravens. [13]
  • Ramora: A radical sect (Omnis) wounded the Raven further with their successful destruction of the Swift Wind Naval Star of Ramora at the beginning of 3069. [14]
  • York: The Blood Spirits used the situation at the planet, when the Adders relocate most of their assets for the strike at the ravens. [15]. The clan leader assaulted Arcadia with the Blood Keshik with support of Omicron Galaxy. The defense was light. The Spirits could capture some important industrial facilities on the planet. They used the time to get most of the material back to their three planets (York + Haven + Honor). With the new strength, the Spirits attacked the Adders on York immediately. The defending Adders retreat back to on last enclave on the planet. [16]
    Ravens in the Outworld Alliance: The high command of the Ravens sought revenge for their fallen comrades over Dante and Ramora. The Clan chose to strike at the neighboring Draconis Combine. In short order several systems (Valentina, Budingen, Weisau, Schirmeckwere and Galedon) were captured, stripped of their valuable assets, and cleaned from military presence. The Raven show their cold-bloodedness when the Storm Crow Naval Pursuit Star killed over sixty percent of the planetary population. [17] The Ravens took several thousands of Combine citizens as isorla, but unknown to them, several of the prisoners were infected with a highly effective bio weapon. The crews of three Clan WarShips were also contaminated. The remaining two vessels destroyed them. Those two ships carried out the cleansing of Dante after the get knowledge of the true terrorists which destroyed the WarShips of Ramora. [18] Both situations forced the Outworlds Alliance into negotiations with the Ravens for a deeper cooperation.
  • August 3069 - Tanis System:The Ice Hellion tried to sneak in the system using the guise of being a merchant needing repairs. Unknown to them at that time was that their arrival point was a sign to the defending forces that the purported merchants were actually raiders. The Hellions get the attention of the Adders who noticed the unusual high troops movement between the different Clan holdings. The Adders determined that some troops were being relocated to an unknown place. That was the opportunity for the Adders to exploit the weakened defense. [19]. In reaction, the Adders give the responsibility of the defense of York to Rho Galaxy. The Galaxy had two options: hold the line or die trying. The leaders used the freed troops to place them near under-defended Hellion holdings. The Spirits noticed the shift in the strategic orientation. To the surprise of the Adders, the Spirits assaulted Albion. [20]
  • Albion: The Spirits get a foothold after they defeated the 343rd Adder Sentinels. The advancing Galaxies (Alpha + Iota) secured the local Chryasor plant. Another casualty of the fights were the 87th Dragoons Cluster. [21]
  • Furthermore used the Spirits the string of victories to get another valuable production plant from the Steel Vipers on Arcadia. The Alpha Galaxy was victorious over the defending Viper force (57th Striker Cluster). [22]
  • Clan Diamond Shark had chosen to relocate most of their assets to the Inner Sphere. In preparation for such a bold move they started several plans. Elite units were transferred to Itabaiana, Twycross and Reef (a secret recharge station with a repair facility near the Chainelane Isles. [23]
  • Marshall: The ongoing rivalry between the Steel Vipers and the Jade Falcons found a new high in the battle between the 2nd Falcon Velites and the Viper Fusiliers (Beta Galaxy) on the planet. The Falcons were seriously beaten by the Vipers. The defenders then called the remaining units into battle, and for artillery strikes at the position of the Fusiliers. The horrendous casualties forced the Vipers to retreat. That small engagement was the reason why the Viper Khans demanded an apology from the Falcons for the use of dishonorable Inner Sphere tactics, but the Council decided in favor of the Falcons. [24]
  • Strana Metchy:The Steel Vipers were not satisfied with the outcome and used the time of the Ceremony on November, 5th to accuse the Falcons that they became doomed as a result of their behavior/actions. The Falcons allowed Freeborns to get influential position or that they chose inferior IS troops as test for the fighting strength of their own troops. The vote was once more against the Vipers but showed as surprise that even enemies had the same opinions about that issue. The Khans took the matters in their own hands.
  • Ironhold: The Vipers Alpha Galaxy with WarShip support started their invasion immediately at Ironhold. The defending Falcon assets (naval and ground forces) were annihilated. The Falcons lost the 12th Talon, Zeta Solahma Cluster and also the Emerald Talon Assault Star. [25]
  • Marshall: The planet was under attack of the Vipers Beta Galaxy and the 5 to 1 outnumbered Second Falcon Velites were destroyed to the last machine. [26]
  • Eden: The invasion of this world was granted to Gamma Galaxy. Both defending Falcon forces (1st Falcon Dragoons + 3rd Falcon Velites) were no real match for them. [27]
  • Huntress: The former Smoke Jaguar homeworld was defended by the 3rd Falcon Dragoons and Falcon’s Eyrie. The advancing 93rd Assault Cluster from the Vipers could win the enclaves for the Vipers after several engagements. [28]
  • Tokasha + Gatekeeper + Barcella + Glory: The invading Vipers forces secured the falcon holdings after bitter fought battles. The only remaining Falcon assets was on Lum and Strana Metchy. [29]

3070

  • Lum: The Vipers started their assault to repel the last Falcon forces from the Homeworlds once and for all. The Vipers Alpha Galaxy in support of the Naval Reserve destroyed the 74th Battle Cluster on the surface. Furthermore, three Falcon vessels (Gauntlet + Ironhold Provider + Blue Aerie) were destroyed in the initial space battle. [30]
  • Strana Mechty: The Grand Council gather another time because the Steel Viper would discuss the dishonorable actions of the Ravens in the Inner Sphere. The vote was not in favor of the Vipers, but they retained the desire to punish the Ravens nevertheless. The "Snake Alliance" was born: Clan Star Adder, Cloud Cobra and Steel Viper agreed to start a coordinated attack against the clan holding of the Ravens.
  • The Vipers selected to fight engagements on Brim, Hellgate and Bearclaw. Elements of the Gamma Galaxy secured on Brim all Raven holdings. On Bearclaw they could conquer an important manufacturing site.
  • The Cobras meet the Ravens on Brim and Hellgate. The local Raven defense for the assets was fierce, but with the support of additional Adder naval forces, the Cobras won three single Trials with in a month (1 DropShip facility, 1 BattleMech factory and 1 Bloodname legacy.) The fight on Hellgate had already started when the Cobras arrived and chose to fight for the recently conquered Viper holdings. The Vipers give their best, but that was not enough and they lost. [31]
  • The Adders failed with their assault on Bearclaw but where successful on Circe in contrast.
  • The Fire Mandrills exploited the chaotic situation for themselves. The Blood Spirits made them an offer: in exchange for the support of the Albion assault of the Spirits the Mandrills would get half of the one assets. The Spirits had decided to support their allies with that actions. On Huntress the Adders were surprised by the attack of the local Mandrill forces who were successful. On Albion the fight took another road. The Cobras supported the Adders in the defense. During the battle the Roc facility of the Spirits was destroyed. The battered Kindraa retreated from Huntress with all forces to reinforce their remaining holdings. Another Kindraa, Mick-Kline-Kreese, saw the opportunity to gain territory, relocate forces to Albion to support the Spirits. The Adders considered that case as a breach of zellbrigen (honor rules). From the three landing clusters two were destroyed (23d Air Assault Force Cluster + 32nd Vanguard Battle Clusters) and the last (Eleventh Battle Force Cluster) heavily damaged. [32]
The Diamond Sharks used the event for several agreements with the Kindraa Sainze. The Shark acquired JumpShips and DropShips. The Kindraa on the other side the holding on Barcella as well as a large delivery of military hardware. [33]
  • The Delta Galaxy of the Cobras were ordered to take the fight back to the Mandrills. On Brim the command secured all holding, because on Arcadia the Sainze’s 53rd Assault Cluster suffer heavy losses in the defense of the ProtoMech facility. The facility was destroyed in the aftermath. [34]
  • Strana Mechty: The Raven called the Grand Council because the secret dealings of the Diamond Sharks with the Federated Suns. The Council could not agree to punish the Diamond Sharks, the only action was to instruct the Sharks not to take part in such dealings in the future. The Snake Alliance then agreed once more to unleash their fury against another IS clan. [35]
  • Clan Star Adder started a blitzkrieg at Barcella, which was successful against the few Shark forces on world.
  • Clan Steel Viper targeted three planets (Babylon + Paxon + Strato Domingo) with three Galaxies (Gamma + Beta + Delta). The defending Sharks forced the Vipers under heavy losses to exhaust their resources in the fighting. [36] The Sharks lost the Black Diamond Naval Star to the Vipers over Strana Mechty. The new naval assets then jumped further to Lum where the Ravens had been waiting for a year. The defending WarShips of the Ravens (Brim Naval Assault Star + Circe Battle Star) suffer to the advancing Vipers. The victorious Viper landed two Galaxies (Alpha + Omega) on the world to extract valuable assets. The Ravens returned once more to avenge their fallen brothers but failed in their attempt. [37]
  • Clan Coyote kept quiet and used the fights between the other clans for their own purposes. The Clan received, from the slowly retreating Hell's Horses, the enclaves on Kirin and Tiber. The Hellions on Londerholm paid a high price for the weak defenses against the attacking Coyotes. Eager to make another such agreement as before, Diamond Shark and Snow Ravens trade territory for support and cargo capacity. On Hellgate the Viper were surprised by the presence of Coyote troops. The Viper tried to beat them but failed. On Hellgate, trials were fought between the Ravens and the Coyotes, the latter supporting the Star Adders, so the Coyotes could gain additional troops by Harvest trials. In the end the Coyotes had harvested 4 Cluster (Diamond Sharks - 27th Combined Strike Cluster, Snow Raven - 44th Cruiser Cluster + two sibko training cluster) and expanded their territory seriously. [38]
  • Clan Blood Spirit consolidated their gains and obtained a new one in late 3070 from the Raven at Albion and Arcadia (3071) [39]. The Sharks transferred Barcella to the Mandrills. As longtime allies the Spirits relocated the Omega Galaxy. The following battle with the neighboring Ice Hellions was fierce. [40]. The transfer of Raven territory on Circe and Barcella get unnoticed by the other Clans. [41].

3071

  • The Star Adders were satisfied with the extraction of the Diamond Sharks from the Homeworlds. The attention shift back to the fight with the Ravens. The Adder start an attempt to conquer Circe. Three Galaxies of Spirit troops (Zeta + Sigma + Omega) await them on the surface. The fight between the two sides were interrupted by the arrival of a Mick-Kline-Kreese task force. The landing of the Mandrill were an welcome event to attack with full force. The initial fighting saw the destruction of the last remaining Raven forces (7th Raven Regulars + 2nd Raven Garrison Cluster) [42] at clan space. The Spirits lost material which once fielded two galaxies.
  • Clan Ice Hellion sought an opportunity to assault the Inner Sphere by their own. The leaders selected Nouveaux Paris as the best choice to relocate most of their troops a step the further to the IS. But Horses established a few years ago a base at that world. The trial for the planet was decide with an arm wrestling contest. The Horses won. The following talks between the two sides has as result the invasion of the clan held territory in the IS. The Horses sought revenge against the Wolves and the Hellions could select underdefended Falcon worlds. [43]
  • The Hell's Horses started their invasion with assaults on three planets (Nyserta, Oberon IV, and Paulus Prime) which were all defended by cluster from the the Wolfs Omega Galaxy. The 2nd Wolf Guards Grenadiers Cluster on Nyserta fought several week against the advancing 72nd Mechanized Cavalry Cluster. The few surviving elements retreated deeper into the WOZ. [44] The trial for Oberon IV was an easy won challenge by the Horse Khan. [45] Paulus Prime was the target for the recently created Omega Galaxy. Like before the fight didn't last long. The Horses was once more victorious. With an foothold in the WOZ the Horses held 4 Galaxies in reserve (Epsilon + Zeta + Eta + Iota) for the expected fights at the homeworlds. [46] The Horses handed territory over to the Star Adders and Coyotes with the goal to increase the defense capabilities with the freed troops. Theta Galaxy was relocated to the Inner Sphere to bolster the offensive strength of the clan. The next wave saw fighting on several planets (Manaringaine, Elissa, Ferris, The Rock, Drask’s Den + Crellacor + Gustrell + Placidia + Sigurd + Blackstone + Butte Hold) which were underdefended. The Horses secured their gains under minimal losses. [47]
  • The 3rd Wave of the Invasion saw fighting on Steelton, New Caledonia, Star’s End and Outpost: The 13th Mechanized Strike Cluster beat the 13th Wolf Regulars on Steelton after fierce battle. On New Caledonia the Beta Galaxy’s Command Trinary meet 33rd Wolf Champions Cluster in combat. The Champions fight for 3 days before retreating. On Star's end the 333rd Mechanized Cluster get the 1st Wolf Garrison Cluster off guard. Only one third of the Cluster were in the shape to get offworld after the fight. On Outpost the defending First Wolf Hussars Cluster were not prepared to fight the overwhelming Horses. The Hussars did not survive because they do not retreat. The following months more planets were conquered like Skallevol, Icar, Chateau and The Edge. [48]
  • The event in the Inner Sphere affected also the politics at the Homeworlds. The lose of the main body of the Alpha Galaxy and another Galaxy to the Horses led the Wolves to an agreement with Coyotes. The Coyotes transfer one entire Galaxy (Omicron), transport assets (5 Stars) and several sibkos (10) in exchange for territory, 2 WarShips (the Provider + Relentless Pursuit) and 50 aerospace fighters. With that support in their back the Wolves were prepared for the next Grand Council meeting in 3071 [49]
  • Strana Mechty: During the meeting of the Council the Wolves revealed the catastrophic results of the nuclear attack at Tamar. The Clan leaders were enraged by such a cowardly act. The Fire Mandrill Khan was elected by the Council as new Ilkhan, because the weaker Home Clans feared the might of the Snake Alliance. The Scorpions were not satisfied and issued a Trial of Refusal for the outcome of the vote. The trial took place on Shadow. The two equal forces fight for 72 hours, were the Scorpion won. The Mandrills lost many good warriors (Kindraa Command Trinary + 3rd Sainze Honor Guard + 53rd Assault Cluster + 14th Sainze Rear Guard Battle Clusters). The victory was secured only under horrendous losses (23rd Scorpion Cuirassiers + 6th Scorpion Hussar Cluster were destroyed). [50] The Ghost Bears chose to abandon the Homeworlds for their new home within the Inner Sphere. The Raven and Wolves followed them shortly after that. The Raven had difficulties coming to an agreement with the Alliance. The situation was further poisoned by the sneak attack in the Dante system. It took the desperate Clan another year before they had calmed the situation with reparation. [51].
  • The Kindraa Sainze was assimilated by the now superior Kindraa Mick-Kline-Kreese. [52] The Cloud Cobra tried to eliminate the tainted Bloodname from the clans. The 149th Cobra Guards lost to the Mandrills on Shadow. [53]
  • The Horses used the situation by the Wolf to start two more waves. The first saw heavy fighting on Kirchbach (Alpha Keshik + Alpha Galaxy) and also Verthandi (Beta Galaxy). The losses on both sides were serious. [54]. Furthermore Rodigo was secured by Omega Galaxy and Delta Galaxy won the fights for New Oslo. [55]. The exhausted Wolves lost ten more worlds (Chateau + Csesztreg + Lovinac + Alleghe + St. John + Bruben + Svelvik + Balsta + New Bergen + Hermagor) to the Horses during the campaign. [56]. The Falcons showed the Horses by the assault of the Steelton, where the 71st Mechanized Cavalry was nearly wiped out by the successful 1st Falcon Hussars[57].
  • Strana Mechty: In April the 1st Wolf Lancers Cluster extracted all genetic Wolves legacies from the planet. The attempt to stop the event came too late by the Clans. That action enrage warriors of several Clans which erased the facility. The following fights in berserker rage were unexpected by the Khans. The local Ebon Keshik could calm situation after several hours. The Wolves were abjured but that were ignored by the Khans. The decision was challenge by the Coyotes how beat the forces of Scorpion and Vipers equal. [58]
  • A coalition of three Clans (Blood Spirits + Steel Vipers + Cloud Cobras) started short after the events on Strana Mechty assaults on several former Wolves holdings (Tranquil + Dagda + Glory + Eden + Grant’s Station). [59]
  • On Glory the retreating 12th Wolf Regulars were protected by the Coyotes’ Delta Galaxy. The assaulting Viper's Gamma Galaxy was unprepared by the presence of the Coyotes.
  • The Cobras command their 99th Battle Cluster to secure the enclave on Dagda but had a difficult time to remove the 4 stars of defenders because of the conditions of the battle. After several days the battle was aborted with the arrival of fresh 42nd Crimson Vanguard Cluster of the Spirits. The following three way fight ended with the destruction of the fighting place. Only two star of the Cobras survived.
  • On Eden the battle was fought in larger scale. The invading Viper brought 3 clusters (Fifth Legion, Fourth Fang + 141st Phalanx) with them. The 12th Wolf Regulars, how had fought earlier at Eden, used their mobility to fight the Vipers over the entire planet. The Coyotes were on the planet to with the 27th Strike Cluster. The coordinated defense cost the Viper half of the initial fighting strength. The Blood Spirits starting their own assault a few weeks later. The Coyotes leaked the information about the whereabouts of the remaining Wolves to them. The first raids was a disaster. The lost warrior of the 66th Blood were Hussars put in front of their comrades, which enraged them further. The Spirits charged with full force and annihilated the defenders. [60]
  • Grant’s Station was the target for the Viper's Alpha Galaxy. The defending Wolves inflict heavy damage on them. The fight continued for three days before the Wolves extracted themselves to meet the new arrived Scorpion's Mu Galaxy. The exhausted Vipers attacked the Scorpions immediately but failed. The Scorpion forced the Vipers of world. The future of the wolf enclave was decided in single duels, because the Scorpions honored the way of the Wolves. [61]
  • Tranquil was the last bastion of Clan Wolf in the Homeworlds. 4 different Clans tried to conquer them but failed. The fights between themselves help the Wolves too. The defenders were stronger then expected because the lower caste member get weapons from a Brian Cache(4 cluster worth). [62]
  • Clan Ice Hellion start their invasion of the Jade Falcon Occupation zone with their entire WarShip assets and also 5 Galaxies (Alpha + Beta + Delta + Zeta + Zeta Prime). The Hellions formed two task forces: the first (Alpha + Delta + Zeta Prime) target the manufacturing capabilities of the Falcons and the second (Beta + Zeta) where tasked with the protection of the flanks. The 1st Task Force captured 4 planets (Golandrinas + Winfield + Persistence + Wotan) with ease. The planets were underdefended, only on Winfield the Hellions meet serious resistance in shape of the Elements from the 51st Garrison Cluster. The 2nd Taskforce secured 5 planets (Anywhere + Somerset + Erewhon + Bone Norman + Lackhove). The fight for Bone Norman was fierce, because the 11th Provisional Garrison Cluster held the line against the invaders. The important naval facilities at Dark Nebula could also be won after little resistance by the Falcons. [63]. The Falcons took the fight back to the Hellions when they started their conterassault on three planets (Bone Norman + Golandrinas + Wotan) with 2 Galaxies (Alpha + Gamma). The Hellions tried to make a further assault to stop the Falcon but failed. The Falcon Guards recaptured Bone Norman. Steelton changed hands without a fight by an agreement with the advancing Hell's Horses. The retreating Falcon troops hit the Hellions once more at Seiduts. The Horses were opportunistic. The Wolf lost three worlds (Liezen + Harvest + Planting) but the Horses paid a high price. Taskforce one began another series of invasion, which brought them 4 more planets (Derf + Trell I + Romulus,+ Maxie’s Planet). The Falcons react with counterassault. Some troops were relocated to repel the Falcons another time like the 40th Hellion Lancers on Wotan. On Derf the fighting was devastating for the defenders. The entire Seventh Solahma Cluster was wiped out by the Hellion naval forces. The continued fighting on Wotan was fierce. The infrastructure on the planet was important for the success of the Hellion campaign. Outnumbered two to one the Falcons 78th PGC denied the Hellions their success. [64] Somerset saw the involvement of the naval elements from both Clans. [65]. The next Hellion wave hit Evciler, Bensinger, Botany Bay, Von Strang’s World and Apollo.
  • On Evciler the Hellions (Alpha + Zeta) meet the Falcons Alpha. After an accident the Hellions go cracy. The Falcons Had no other choice but to leave. [66]
  • Wotan get once more the battleground for the two Clans. The Falcons had reinforced the 87th PGC by the 8th Falcon Regulars. The Hellions' Zeta Galaxy had difficulties trying to pin those two units into place.
  • Bensinger was defended by the 10th Talon. The advancing Beta Galaxy of Clan Ice Hellion for them offworld, because they were heavily outnumbered.
  • Steel saw the only engagement between the Hell's Horses and the Ice Hellions. The naval elements of both sides fight with out mercy. That happen also on the surface of the planet. Two cluster (21st Mechanized Assault Cluster + 22nd Mechanized Assault Cluster) faced the Hellions Delta Galaxy. The Horses retreat after several days of combat off world. [67]
  • Erewhon saw fighting of the Falcons Alpha Galaxy with Hellion forces. The world was liberated.
  • The Ice Hellion lost important material to the Falcon by bad luck. The falcon could resupply their troops and turned the tide of the campaign in their favor. The Hellions get two more planets (Last Chance + Lackhove) by Beta but must retreat from Steelton with the arrival of new Falcon troops (1st Falcon Jaegers + 5th Battle Cluster). [68] Hellion's Zeta captured Gotterdammerung and Here. But on both planets now valuable material was found for the clan.
  • The situation on Wotan turned worse, because the frustrated Hellions bombarded helpless civilians. That was the event for the falcon to fight the Hellion with sheer ferocity. On Lackhove the Falcon's Gamma Galaxy beat the Hellions Beta Galaxy merciless. [69]
  • The Wolves established strong defenses on the planets Ferleiten, Ridderkerk and Zoetermeer. Also all world between them. The Horses tried to break them but failed with three invasion (on Ridderkerk + Basiliano + Hohenems). Two units (Ninety-ninth Mechanized Cavalry + 666th Mechanized Assault Cluster) established landing zones on Ridderkerk and Basiliano but not more. [70]
  • The Ghost Bears showed the Wolves their strength with the string of victories for several planets (Balsta + Hermagor + Dawn). [71].
  • The Falcon leader started secret talks with the Horses and reached an agreement. That includes to turn the Horses against the Hellions. The situation for the Horses improved because they get new planets without fighting. The Falcon in contrast saved fighting power. The Wolves used the situation to get some lost planets (Basiliano + Hohenems + Mozirje + Feltre + Unzmarktback). The Horses captured 4 planets from the Hellions (Von Strang’s World + Bensinger + Apollo + Toland). [72]
  • The Horses Theta Galaxy destroyed 176th Attack Cluster on Bensinger. [73]
  • Heavy naval elements of the Horses forced the Hellions’ Zeta Galaxy from Apollo to Evciler. [74]
  • The two WarShips of the Horses let the Hellion vessel in the Toland-system no change. The some faith meet the 121st Hellion Lancers on the surface. [75]
  • Strana Mechty: The Grand Council meet another time. The purpose was to talk about the Refusal and if it longer legitimate. The vote was against the Crusader. The Council voted the Steel Viper Khan Brett Andrews as new Ilkhan. He declared that all IS clans and the warriors with legacy of warrior how fought in the IS were tainted with corruption. The Shark Khan was killed when he opposed the new Ilkhan. [76]
  • A few days after that fateful Council meeting the Wolfs landed two harvest cluster at the Kerensky Blood Chapel. Within a few hours the watch operator erased all material of the great founder and its line with the goal to deny the other clans the access to them. Warriors from the clans react on their own and fight broke out for the legacy of the Kerensky. The event was the catalyst for the chaos which erupted. All other Inner Sphere based Clans retreat under fire back to their awaiting Dropship. Most get offworld. The riots and fights continued for several days because every clan called to annihilated the bloodnames of their enemies. Even civilians took up arms to defend the honor of their respective clans. [77]
  • The chapels of most Inner Sphere (Jade Falcon + Ghost Bear + Snow Ravens) clans were destroyed in short order until mid December. [78]
  • The Steel Vipers were eager to prove their superiority when they try to reave the Pershaw bloodname. But the trial ended for the Viper horrible. Because the Kael Pershaw killed a highranking Viper warrior in a circle of equals with a hidden arm laser prosthesis. The Viper ordered their warship into geosynchronous orbit. Then the unbelievable happen: Orbitla bombardment. The enclave was erased from the surface.[79]
  • [80] The exclusive Horses Bloodnames of Fletcher and Amirault became the target of combined Scorpion and Cobra attacks. The complex saw massive destruction on the ground and later was complete destroyed by air strikes from Cobra fighters. [81]
  • The Fire Mandrills tried to get their part of glorious battle to. They assaulted 2 chapels related to the Snow Ravens. But the defense were heavier then expected.
