The 267th Battle Cluster was a front line combat unit of Clan Smoke Jaguar.

History

The unit fought on Tukayyid against the 367th Division (Spoken Ideas) in the Racice Delta. [1]

Post Tukayyid

The Cluster was deployed to garrison Teniente while rebuilding from the losses on Tukayyid and sending the occasional raiding Trial against the Draconis Combine. Their most visible action was a Trial of Possession declared for a Nova Cat Overlord-C class DropShip in 3056. In that action Trinary Assault fought with two Nova Binaries of the 100th Striker Cluster. The Warhawks and Dire Wolfs of the Assault Trinary shrugged off the BattleMechs and systematically annihilated every Elemental sent against them before the remainder fled outside the Circle of Equals. [2]

Operation Bulldog

During Operation Bulldog the 267th Battle Cluster dropped onto Meinacos to disrupt the SLDF advance. The Jaguar unit faced the 8th Dieron Regulars, the St. Ives Cheveau Legers, 1st Canopian Cuirassiers, and the 11th Alshain Avengers. Though the Clan unit fought well, they couldn't survive when the Eighth Dieron drove into the 267th Cluster's flank, while the 11th Alshain distracted them and the Canopian Cuirassiers threatened to cut off the Clan unit's retreat. Diane Perez pulled her forces back to the mountains to regroup, receiving the retreat orders they boarded their DropShips and left without another major engagement. [3]

An Omega Trinary from the Cluster comprising mostly Star League and Clan second line Mechs was attached to Beta Galaxy Command on Outer Volta and destroyed in combat against the Izanagi Warriors and 8th Sword of Light on 4th August 3059. [4]

Notes

  • The 267th does not appear to have taken part in the early part of Operation Revival. It is possible that the unit was a replacement for forces lost on Luthien.
  • Elements of the 267th Battle Cluster formed part of Hang Mehta's forces on Huntress in 3060. [8]
