History

Clan Invasion

On 15 March 3050, Thilla successfully bid to lead the invasion of Schwartz. Leading Trinary Command, Trinary Striker and Supernova Striker of the Nineteenth Striker Cluster in a daring combat drop right on top of the defending Ninth Pesht Regulars catching them off-guard. The fighting was fierce and lasted several hours, finally ending when Star Colonel Showers defeated Tai-sa Mark Graham in single combat. However the Smoke Jaguars deployed insufficient aerospace cover during the battle, which in part allowed the bulk of the Ninth Regulars to retreat off-world.

On Hyner 23 April 3058 Showers bid for the right to attack Maldonado against Star Colonel Paul Moon and his Third Jaguar Cavaliers. She lost the bidding, unknowingly damning Clan Smoke Jaguar by giving Star Captain Trent the opportunity to defect and reveal the location of the Clan Homeworlds.

She died on Matamoras 27 July 3059 attempting a counterattack in the face of Operation BULLDOG. Unwilling to believe Inner Sphere forces could be a threat so staged a frontal assault against a fortified position. Showers and the entirety of the Nineteenth perished under the guns of Wazukana Fortress.
