In [[3134]], a small task force of [[Clan Jade Falcon]], escorted by the [[Emerald Talon]], launched an attack against the Republic of the Sphere after traveling first through Commonwealth space. The task force, ostensibly aimed at destroying what the Falcons termed the [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile|false wolves]], pledged not to attack the Lyran state, but then landed attack forces on [[Porrima]] and Chaffee. Chaffee, was completely overrun, and it was there that Falcon forces slaughtered 50,000 inhabitants in the city of Hamilton—a savage and heavy-handed action that has outraged billions across the [[Inner Sphere]] and prompted calls for war against Jade Falcon.
