Overview[edit]
The 101st Jaguar Attack Cluster was a front-line military formation of Clan Smoke Jaguar.
History[edit]
Post-Tukayyid[edit]
The 101st Jaguar Attack Cluster was formed in 3056 from the finest new warriors the Clan could muster.[1] The Cluster was destroyed fighting 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 onto the planet. Two Stars of OmniMechs probed the defenses of the landing zone; they 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 task.[4] After the failure of the 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.[5] After this, the mercenaries advanced towards the Jaguar base of Wayside Station and the 101st Attack Cluster moved to intercept, sending an assault Star with Elemental support on a flanking maneuver.[6] 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.[7] The Cluster by this point had taken heavy casualties and Galaxy Commander Osis ordered its retreat, during which Roberta was killed.[8]
