51st Garrison (Clan Smoke Jaguar)

Overview

The Fifty-first Garrison Cluster was a second line Cluster of Clan Smoke Jaguar.

History

Post Tukayyid

Other Clusters of Kappa Galaxy were posted to the Inner Sphere Occupation Zone after the Battle of Tukayyid and this is also the likely deployment date for the Fifty First. The Cluster had moved to Bangor by 3053 and where still in garrison there in 3059, On the 12th August 3058 a DEST team sabotaged ten Assault OmniMechs on Bangor at the Bangar Garrison Compound in Regga, so that they could not respond to a Company strength raid against the planet. Although the Cluster was not mentioned it is highly likely that the 'Mechs belonged to the Fifty-First. The raid was triggered by DCMS Intelligence learning that the Jaguars were testing upgraded versions of their OmniMechs and they attempted to capture one.

Operation Bulldog

Wave Three

• Bangor - Here it was attacked by the 2nd Dieron Regulars 1st Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile) and the House Daidachi. The Cluster put up a strong defence but was outnumbered and eventually forced to retreat off planet, leaving behind an Omega Nova of BattleMechs and Elementals to cover their withdrawal.

Huntress

At least two Binaries retreated from Bangor, it is assumed that these warriors made their way to Huntress.
