====Dagda Campaign====
After the initial assaults on [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]] in September of [[2821]], Jorgensson, along with the rest of his Clan's Cluster, attacked the [[Pentagon Power]] known as the [[Oriente Dominion]]. The Dominion forces were only equipped with tanks and infantry, which Cal and the rest of the Widowmakers demolished easily.  However, Jorgensson's life would be changed forever by the sound of a gunshot. Within the recently secured village of Sunflower on October 21st, saKhan [[Mariel Sanders]] was assassinated by a gunman disguised as a trader.  The Clan suspended its combat operations for two days. After a long meeting, the Warriors of the Widowmakers chose Jorgensson as their new saKhan.  He was the first individual to be elected by provisions written by Nicholas Kerensky for when a Khan is killed in the field.

Once elevated, saKhan Jorgensson's abrasive personality triggered bad relations with his Clan's fellow invasion partners, Clans [[Clan Goliath Scorpion|Goliath Scorpion]] and [[Clan Fire Mandrill|Fire Mandrill]].  He triggered this ill will by referring to those Clans' combat operations as badly organized sideshows to Widowmaker operations.  Scorpion Khan [[Cyrus Elam]], angered by Cal's brash words, attempted to initiate a [[Trial of Grievance]] against the newly elevated saKhan.  However, [[ilKhan]] [[Nicholas Kerensky|Kerensky]] refused them permission to conduct the Trial.  Jorgensson and his Khan Karrige would annihilate the remaining soldiers of the Oriente Dominion, an act they viewed as justice rendered for the assassination of saKhan Sanders.<ref>''Historical: Operation Klondike'', p. 85: "Dratha Redux" - Dagda campaign and elevation of Cal as saKhan</ref>

However, Clan affairs had not gone smoothly with its own lower castes.  The Widowmakers' merchants staged an insurrection due to the freedom that Clan Wolf merchants seemed to enjoy.  With Clan Wolf's economic growth, the Wolves' merchants challenged Widowmaker Merchants for years' worth of [[bauxite]] ore used to make ferro-aluminum from its mines on [[Dagda (Clan System)|Dagda]].  Khan Jorgensson and his fellow saKhan attempted to block the Trial from taking place, and the Wolf merchants called on [[Clan Wolf Touman|their warrior ''touman'']] to fight a formal [[Trial of Possession]]. Despite the Widowmakers' loss, its merchants were awed by the respect Wolves' merchants were given by its military and the freedoms they had received.  The merchants protested for the same rights as their Clan Wolf counterparts, which resulted in what was seen by Khan Jorgensson and his fellows as an insurrection. Jorgensson's Widowmakers were known to be at times brutal with their own civilian population, and Khan Jorgensson had the merchants killed.  The brutality exhibited by Jorgensson's Clan ''touman'' shocked the greater community of the Clans.  Khan Jorgensson claimed it was an internal affair, and pointed a finger at Wolf Khan [[Jerome Winson]] as the cause of the Widowmaker merchant uprising.

Khan Winson turned to the Clan [[Grand Council of the Clans|Grand Council]], who decreed that the Widowmakers were unfit to rule, and the Council agreed to the Wolf Khan's demand for a [[Trial of Absorption]]. Khan Jorgensson demanded a [[Trial of Refusal]] to fight for the right of his Clan to continue to exist.
