History[edit]
Jade Falcon Incursion of 3058[edit]
He led the 12th Falcon Regulars Cluster on that operation.[3][4]
His most noted action was in April, when the Delta Regiment of Wolf's Dragoons commanding officer, Colonel Shelly Brubaker, issued a batchall for the Port St. William Spaceport. Star Colonel Creed Mattlov answered her call by dispatching two Trinaries to fight the Dragoons' 1st Battalion in a Trial of Possession for the spaceport.
The Trinary Bravo's Bravo Talon 2 and Bravo Beak were dispatched to the combat, where the two forces' light and medium OmniMechs engaged the Dragoons' forward units. They were easily dispatched by the elite forces of the Dragoons' forward elements. The Dragoons then began dispatching their units to destroy the supplies stored in the spaceport's warehouses. The Mattlov's trinaries arrived on scene and engaged the Dragoons in what devolved into a close-quarters combat which disregarded the rules of zellbrigen. The battle escalated to the point where the Dragoons called in reinforcements. Mattlov called in the rest of the Regulars to engage the Dragoons.
The battle became more merciless as Mattlov and his Dragoon counterpart called in both aerospace and artillery fire support to aid in their fight. In the end, the Dragoons achieved their objective of destroying the Jade Falcons' supplies, but Mattlov declared victory by forcing the Dragoons to withdraw and for having to call in reinforcements.[1]
Raid on Sudeten[edit]
He was still the commanding officer when in the early 3060s the AFFC sent the 5th Deneb Light Cavalry and 12th Deneb Light Cavalry to raid Sudeten. The 8th Falcon Regulars and Twelfth Falcon Regulars inflicted massive losses on the 12th DLC: Barely a third of the attacking 12th DLC was able to withdraw.[5]
Falcon Incursion of 3064[edit]
The Twelfth Falcon Regulars with majority of the Rho Galaxy were deployed as part of the Falcons' new incursion into Lyran Alliance in May 3064.
The unit arrived on the Lyran world of Koniz, and fought the world's militia, the Koniz PTM for three months until they withdrew from the planet in August.
The unit was then deployed with entire Galaxy to Rasalgethi in October, where they fought Brion's Legion and the world's militia force, Kelenfold PTM. The Twelfth Falcon Regulars along with the rest of the Rho Galaxy, fought a relentless campaign against the Legion, which held out long enough to see the militia force fold, and reinforcements to arrive. Snord's Irregulars had arrived in 14th December. However, despite losing one of its sister units against the Irregulars, the Regulars along with their own reinforcements successfully forced Lyran forces off the planet by the 30th.[6]
