The Desant, meaning "descent", an russian, was too ancien Terran military for a strike deep inside enemy's territory, was a Clan Jade Falcon military invasion in the Dark Age.
History
After the Blackout, Jade Falcon Khan's Jana Pryde launched this operation. A Massive force more than three Galaxy strong, passing through Lyran Commonwealth space without fight, invaded Republic of the Sphere space. However, the Falcons launched his operation without informing the lyrans, which closed an eye, expecting to avoid a conflict with the Clan.[1] His objective was the creation of a bridgehead in the Republic space centered around the planet Skye from which later, the full strength of the Clan will launch an assault against Terra itself.[2] The Falcons units were the Turkina Galaxy, Gyrfalcon Galaxy and Turkina's Beak. The force had three leaders: Beckett Malthus, a influential advisor of the Khan, and the brothers Aleksandr Hazen and Malvina Hazen. The Republic was almost defenseless, specially the Prefecture X. Jasek Kelswa-Steiner, the son of the governor, had stole most of the Prefacture's troops, forming the Stormhammers, a pro-lyran group. During the trip trough lyran space, the Falcons raided the planet Porrima, to test the green Zeta Galaxy. Aleksadr lead the attack.[3] However, the first conquest of the Falcons was the lyran world of Chaffe, in May [[3134. Despite being outside their original orders, they took him easily, incorporating it to their bridgehead.[4] The desant first wave saw their three galaxies striking separated targets: Zeta Galaxy attacked [Àlkaid]], Gyrfalcon, Ryde and Turkina Keshik, Glengarry.[5] The second wave saw Zeta attacking Summer, while Gyrfalcon split on Ryde, with an element taking Zebebelgenudi, the other, Kimball II. Finally, the three galaxies converged on Prefacture's capital, Skye.[6]
At the end, the Falcons took easily six planets, Their first attack against the prefecture's capital, Skye by mid-August, found only a eak militia opposing them. Even with the assistance of countess Tara Campbell and Northwind Highlanders, but thanks to the unexpected assistance of Anastasia Kerensky and the Steel Wolves, the falcons were rebuffed: Aleksandr Hazen was killed, and Malvina crippled. However, a few months later, the Falcons returned to Skye, and despite to the help of the Stormhammers, the planet fell to the Falcons.[7]
Consequences
The fall of Skye created a continous zone, which received the name of The Falcon's Reach. Skye become the new Occupation zone's capital. However, the main invasion of the Jade Falcons never took place: Khan Pryde send barely any reinforcments, all outcasts and solahma. Only then it was evident the real plan, for her, was to get rid of malcontents and rivals. It was no indication than the Khan ever planned seroiusly to attack Terra. [8] However, the operation was the doom for the Khan: Malvina Hazen returned to Sudeten, the Falcon's capital, beginning a Falcon Civil War finally winned by Malvina, who took her place and remade his clan at his image. The desant was a devastating hit for the Republic Armed Forces, as was the second Prefacture capital to fall in barely 2 months; the other was Liao, and was one of the reasons for the Exarch Jonah Levin to abandon most of the Republic worlds behind Fortress Republic
