First [[Trinary]] Assault and Aerospace Trinary of the 214th Jaguar Dragoons invaded the planet, which was defended by the [[First Chupadero Armored Legion]]. The battle started quickly in the Jaguars' favor as their [[OmniFighter]]s quickly decimated their opponents' antique air support, winning air superiority and giving First Trinary Assault ample time to hunt down the defenders at their leisure. At Dale Valley they easily stepped over 'Mech traps laid by the defenders and routed the tank regiment even as it attempted a retreat. The Legion's remnants fell back to the Billoc Tunnels, through which they intended to reach the capital Fredsin and make their final stand, but were foiled when Star Captain [[Wesley Moon]] decided to enter after them and destroyed their last remaining vehicles.<ref name=ICp65>''Invading Clans'', p. 65</ref> ====Wave Three==== ====Wave Three==== − <u>Kabah</u><br>+ * [[Kabah]] - The defending [[Kabah Knights]] were defeated on the Jousting Grounds of the Palace, only three survived to become [[bondsmen]].<ref name=ICp65/> Civilians on the planet attempted a guerilla campaign to little effect, but a number of Smoke Jaguar warriors proved vulnerable to a hemorragic fever native to the planet.

The Jaguar Khans proposed that both Clans share the world in order to save their resources for fighting the Inner Sphere. Some sources claim that a single Cluster from each Clan attacked the planet<ref name=IC59>''Invading Clans'', p. 59</ref> while others place elements of three Jaguar and two Nova Cat Clusters in action: the 214th Jaguar Dragoons, the [[Fourth Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Fourth Jaguar Dragoons]], the [[Fifth Jaguar Regulars (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Fifth Jaguar Regulars]], the [[274th Battle (Clan Nova Cat)|274th Nova Cat Battle Cluster]] and the [[449th Assault (Clan Nova Cat)|449th Nova Cat Assault Cluster]].

Realizing they were outclassed, the defenders opted for a guerrilla campaign. Allowing the Clans to set up forward bases, the defenders attacked these under cover of darkness with 'Mech companies in an attempt to destroy as much of the supplies stored there as possible, as well as commando sabotage missions in Devon Heights, Beachweld and Fresno. In response, the Jaguar commander sent out headhunter missions and in a single night eliminated the entire command structure, after which the Amphigean Light Assault Group was destroyed at Fresno by an assault by the 214th Jaguar Dragoons.<ref name=IC119/><ref name=IC60>''Invading Clans'', p. 60</ref> − ===Post-Tukayyid=== + ===Post Tukayyid=== − In August 3057, the Nova Cat Fifteenth Garrison Cluster launched a raid against the Dragoons' supply depot on Kabah, in an act which they saw as revenge for the lack of honor shown to them on Chupadero six years earlier.<ref name=SOp90f/> + In August 3057 the Nova Cat Fifteenth Garrison Cluster launched a raid against the Dragoons' supply depot on Kabah, in an act they saw as revenge for the lack of honor shown to them on Chupadero six years earlier.<ref name=SO/> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ * [[Star Captain]] [[Wesley Moon]] 30??-3052 - First Trinary Assault.<ref name=ICp65/> − |-+ * One of the sub-units of the 214th, identified only as Epsilon Point, was known to be led by [[Point Commander]] [[Clan Smoke Jaguar Minor Characters|Kenneth]] in June 3050; his Point was responsible for attempting to track down terrorist activity near Sayil on Kabah, and one of his Warriors - Anja, an Elemental of the Osis bloodline, was badly injured by the terrorists and another Elemental named Hector was killed in the ambush that inflicted Anja's injuries.
