- Luthien - During the Battle of Luthien, provided with inaccurate intelligence, the Clan assigned the capture of the Arisaka Munitions Complex to the Twenty-second Jaguar Freebirth Cluster. The defending Amori Militia initially put up a stiff resistance, then feigned a retreat across the two Shaidan River bridges, luring the Cluster into a trap. As the Twenty-second crossed the river the militia detonated charges that destroyed the bridges, then proceeded to counterattack supported by previously hidden reserves, pinning the freeborn warriors against the rain-swollen river. Caught in a completely untenable position, Star Captain Edna did the only thing she could to avoid the destruction of her command and surrendered.[1]

Commanding Officers of the Twenty-second Smoke Jaguar Freebirth Cluster |
Other Officers
- Star Captain Edna led Binary Striker between in 3052.[2]
- Star Captain Jonas led Trinary Elemental in 3052.
Tactics
Although little is known about the Twenty-second Freebirth, they were employed against secondary targets considered of too little importance to use front-line Clusters.[3]
Composition History
3052
Notes
- Some, if not all, of the Twenty-second Freebirth surrendered on Luthien. The Cluster is not mentioned after the battle, possibly because its actions had rendered it dezgra and it was struck from the touman.
- It was listed as belonging to the 315th Battle Galaxy on Luthien; this unit is possibly Delta Galaxy.
- It was confirmed by the BattleTech Line Developer that the reference to this unit in the Luthien scenario pack was in error.
