The Clan Jaffray was a martial family of the Northwind Highlanders.

History[edit]

Origins[edit]

The Jaffray clan was one of Scottish origins, one than settled on Northwind and helped form the Highlanders. They served them, and the Capellan Confederation for centuries. But in 3028 during the Fourth Succession War, their ways parted. After Hanse Davion offered the Highlanders the opportunity to return at his home planet in exchange of their services, Corwin Jaffray was a vocal opponent to the idea of betraying the Confederation. However, the vast majority don't think like he, so they voted to accept, signing the Northwind Agreement. However, Corwin and others chose to stay with their families.[1] The Jaffrays served loyally to the Confederation: Corwin's son served as a Death Commando, dying in action, and his grandson, Loren Jaffray, followed their steps, becoming one of the best warriors of the entire Confederation. During all the time, all the Jaffray keep alive their Highlanders traditions.[2]

By 3057, anyway, the Jaffrays returned to Northwind in a very unexpected way: That year, Capellan Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao worked with Thomas Marik to launch Operation GUERRERO, and one of their main targets was Northwind. Sun-Tzu sent Loren Jaffray to Northwind to convince the Highlanders to proclaim their independence, or destroy them. Loren found himself more drawn to the Highlanders than to the Confederation, so eventually saved the Highlanders, fighting alongside them and helping them to win their independence before joining them.[3] During the Dark Age, the Jaffrays still serve in the Highlanders military.[4]
