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 defences 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]

- Star Colonel Roberta 30??-3058 - she piloted an Executioner.[6]
