Bandit hunting was the most any vessel could expect regularly, with inter-Clan naval warfare rare or ended before any major damage could be inflicted.

Clan Jade Falcon.jpg
Affiliation Clan Jade Falcon
Parent Command Clan Jade Falcon touman

Like most Clans pre-REVIVAL, there was little use for supra-Galaxy naval formations for Clan Jade Falcon. Bandit hunting was the most any vessel could expect regularly, with inter-Clan naval warfare rare or ended before any major damage could be inflicted. The return to the Inner Sphere changed the Jade Falcon touman dramatically. All WarShips and transports in Occupation Zone reported to Star Admiral Vishu Folkner, a command position second only to the Khans.[1] In addition, two Naval Stars were in use at the time of REVIVAL:

The years after the Wars of Reaving, the Jihad, and the relocation of the Clan to the Inner Sphere put a strain on the WarShip fleet. The Butler Ship Yards were unable to perform more than basic maintenance and civilian vessels were a priority to rebuild.[4]

The rise of Malvina Hazen and the Mongol Doctrine among the Jade Falcons saw in increased willingness to use the WarShips still available to her. The Falcons did not move to a Pocket Warship or Assault DropShip heavy force, as did so many other Clans in the Republic years.[4] This was often an advantage against the Lyran Commonwealth, who lacked sufficient aerospace fighters to counter the large Warships that are providing surface artillery support. However, any force able to make space-bound interceptions can worry the Falcon's escort-weak convoys.[5]
