| Falcon's Claws | |
| Disbanded | 3051[1][2][3] |
| Affiliation | Clan Jade Falcon |
| Parent Command | Vau Galaxy[1], possibly Gamma Galaxy[4] (nominally)
Special Dispensation from Galaxy Commander Vandervahn Chistu[1] |
Raised at an unknown time, the Falcon's Claws and its Star Colonel had a free reign during Operation REVIVAL. Given wide latitude in the warriors assigned to it, the Cluster functioned as Vandervahn Chistu's personal weapon and troubleshooter. The Cluster moved with impunity during the Invasion, until the obsession of Star Colonel Nicolai Malthus with Adam Steiner got the better of him as he chased the 1st Somerset Strikers throughout the Occupation Zone.[5]

REVIVAL[edit]
Malthus and the Falcon's Claws are reported to have been at Dustball[6], Wotan[7], Romulus[7], Waldorff[8], Apollo[9], Camelot Command[9], and Somerset[10]. The truth of their locations and when are nearly impossible to differentiate from the fiction of the holovid broadcast by Tharkad Broadcasting. What is known is that following Timur Malthus's dishonor at Twycross[11], the failings of Star Colonel Malthus against Adam Steiner and the First Somerset Strikers (to be followed quickly by his reassignment to Star Commander in a secondline unit), and Vandervahn Chistu's ascension to saKhan, any recordings of the Cluster are scant.[1]
