'''Edmund Hoyt''' was the [[Loremaster]] at the time of [[Operation REVIVAL]]. During the second wave of Operational REVIVAL, the Smoke Jaguars were increasingly frustrated at the difficulty they had maintaining control of the populations of the various worlds conquered in the first wave, as well as the fact that their rivals, [[Clan Wolf]], were making faster progress. This resulted in the Smoke Jaguar warriors taking out their aggression on each other, in what started out as practice bouts but which became much deadlier contests. Edmund had to order an end to these bout to preserve the ''[[Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman|touman]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s strength, although this left the Smoke Jaguars venting their frustration on the populations of their various occupied worlds, increasing the frequency of rebellions amongst the population.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 56</ref>

During the Fifth Wave of [[Operation REVIVAL]] in November 3051, Edmund personally led the [[1st Striker (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|First Striker Cluster]] in the attack on [[Hyner]], dropping through heavy cloud cover to immediately engage the [[Second Arkab Legion]] at Trent's Glen. The Smoke Jaguars were startled to find that an entire [[battalion]] of their enemy's forces were piloting [[Star League]]-era [[BattleMechs]] and the Arkab Legion's use of hit-and-run attacks was slowly whittling them down. Eventually the Jaguars fought clear of the glen and turned to engage the Legion ''en masse''. The implacable fury of the Smoke Jaguars eventually forced the Second Arkab's lines to break, with over half of the Legionnaires retreating back through the wooded glen. Although further battles were fought at Wessen and the Binar Heights the Legion was eventually able to give their pursuers the slip and escape off-world during a brilliant midnight operation.<ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 59</ref><ref>''Invading Clans'', p. 68</ref>

Following the death in January [[3052]] of [[Dorian Wirth]] - the commanding officer of the [[Jaguar's Spirit Keshik (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Jaguar's Spirit Keshik]], the lead formation of the Smoke Jaguar [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha Galaxy]] - Edmund took command of the Keshik for the invasion of [[Kiamba]]. The battle on Kiamba saw the Jaguar's Spirit Keshik battle the [[Third Proserpina Hussars]] for control of the planet; the Hussars attacked the Keshik using their armor formations as soon as the Keshik had grounded, and as soon as the Keshik had rebuffed that attack, the Smoke Jaguar [[DropShip]]s came under attack from the Hussars aerospace force, who managed to damage one of the DropShips before being beaten back. The Hussars' armor [[battalion]] retreated into Hecate's Swamp, pursued by the Keshik; as the Keshik entered the swamp, they were ambushed by an incendiary trap prepared by the Hussars that engulfed two Keshik [[Trinary|Trinaries]] in flames. Edmund retaliated for the ambush by deploying a headhunter unit that tracked and killed ''[[Tai-sa]]'' [[Richard Weston]] and the majority of his command unit; this demoralized the Hussars, who retreated to Collins Ridge and fought a desperate last stand there.<ref name=ICp69>''Invading Clans'', p. 69</ref> Two battalions of the Third were destroyed, but the surviving elements of the Hussars would be rebuilt later.<ref name=FMDC109>''Field Manual: Draconis Combine'', p. 109: "3rd Proserpina Hussars Unit Profile"</ref>

The Loremaster was attached to the [[6th Jaguar Dragoons (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Sixth Jaguar Dragoons]] during the Battle of Tukayyid where his 'Mech provided mobility for [[Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis]] and his Elemental point. The Sixth suffered horrendous losses and [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[323rd Division (ComStar)|323rd Division]] [[Acolyte]] [[Trevis Gray]] succeeded in defeating Edmund Hoyt, killing him with a well-placed laser shot to the cockpit, trapping an incapacitated Khan Osis beneath Hoyt's shattered 'Mech.<ref name=T-29>''Tukayyid'', pp. 29-38 "Campaign: Clan Smoke Jaguar"</ref><ref name="er52-57">''Era Report: 3052'', p. 57 "Factions - Clan Smoke Jaguar - Sixth Jaguar Dragoons (Wolf Slayers)"</ref>

Hoyt's death, along with that of saKhan [[Sarah Weaver]] and the immobilization of Khan Osis, left Star Colonel [[Brandon Howell]] as the ranking officer in the field. Nonetheless, the confusion brought about by these losses, coupled with Howell's own decision to withdraw the remaining Smoke Jaguar forces, resulted in their defeat on Tukayyid.<ref>''Tukayyid'', p. 29</ref><ref>''Two Roads Diverged'' (PDF version)</ref>
