Overview

The 101st Attack Cluster was a front line military formation of Clan Smoke Jaguar.

History

Post Tukayyid

The 101st Jaguar Attack Cluster was formed between 3056 and 3058 from the finest new warriors the Clan could muster. [1] The Cluster was destroyed fighting forces of mercenaries and later Clan Nova Cat on Wayside V in August 3058.[2]

Star Colonel Roberta won the bidding to engage the Inner Sphere forces that had dropped on to the planet. Two Stars of OmniMechs probed the defenses of the landing zone, but were destroyed when mercenary forces targeted the fuel tanks of a downed DropShip causing a massive explosion. [3] Another Two partial Trinaries were also assigned to this attack. [4] After the failure of this attack, Roberta unleashed two light Stars of headhunters, but this attack was also countered. [5]

The fighters of Stalker Star were wasted in a futile attack against a mercenary DropShip. [6] After this the mercenaries advanced towards the Jaguar base of Waydide Station, the 101st Attack Cluster moved to intercept, sending an Assault Star with Elemental support on a flanking maneuver.[7] During the fighting the Cluster was flanked and struck in the rear, but at the same time a lone Star broke through to threaten the enemy command unit. [8] The Cluster by this point had taken heavy casualties and Galaxy Commander Osis ordered its retreat, during which Roberta was killed.[9]
