Planetary History[edit]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

La Grave was defended by the Invasion-hardened Fifth Davion Guards. Using their knowledge of Clan style warfare earned against the Wolf Clan, the Bent Sword Brigade was surprised to find that the Jade Falcons could learn their enemy's tricks as well. Faced with the Fourth Falcon Talon and Ninety-fourth Striker Clusters, a Headhunter Star was successful in eliminating Hauptmann General William Galloway. Command then fell to Colonel James Allison, who ambushed the Jade Falcon forces until he was felled by overwhelming concentrated fire from an Assault Star. The Falcons would go on to be more pragmatic in their application in the rules of honor when facing Inner Sphere forces.[19]

Post-Operation REVIVAL[edit]

The first reported Inner Sphere raid on a Clan-held world took place in 3053 when recon elements of the Thirteenth Donegal Guards attacked a Falcon supply depot on La Grave.[24] The prototype Hercules DropShip assigned to the unit proved its mettle against aerospace forces from the Gurbeng Garrison Cluster.[22] While the attack was ultimately unsuccessful in returning the system to Federated Commonwealth control, the Inner Sphere force was able to escape the planet and the Falcons increased patrol frequency in response. The destruction of the raid and others like it worried ComStar about maintaining the truce they had earned at Tukayyid.[23]

The Jihad[edit]

Clan Wolf used the attacks on the Lyran Alliance launched by Clan Jade Falcon during the Jihad to launch their own series of planetary conquests, typically shadowing the Jade Falcon advance. A wave of attacks saw the Wolves capture La Grave, along with Domain, Jabuka, Orkney, and Rasalgethi, through the first week of October 3069.[39]

The Dark Age[edit]

When Clan Wolf abandoned their Occupation Zone in the mid-thirty-second century the other Clans nearby moved swiftly to gain new territory. La Grave was one of the worlds contested during the scramble for new possessions - both Clan Jade Falcon and the Rasalhague Dominion moved to take the world, with the First Falcon Jaegers scoring a convincing victory for the Jade Falcon's Epsilon Galaxy against the Dominion's Eighteenth Battle Cluster. The Jaeger's greater mobility allowed them to harass the Eighteenth until they had no option but to ask for hegira.[40]

IlClan Era[edit]

After the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone collapsed into the Hinterlands, La Grave was annexed by Clan Hell's Horses in November 3151 during Operation STAMPEDE. Elements of Alpha Galaxy easily took La Grave from the Falcon paramilitary garrison; the Horses' only major setback was when Falcon Watch agents set off an avalanche against Horse warriors moving through the Grande Muraille mountains.[37]
