-'''Jana Pryde''' was [[Khan]] of [[Clan Jade Falcon]] from [[3129]] to 3136. She became Khan after removing [[Ruel Chistu]], and was assisted in her rise to power by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Beckett Malthus]], who arranged for Chistu's displacement.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 102: "Beckett Malthus"</ref> Ironically, Malthus would later turn on her, backing [[Malvina Hazen]]'s rise to power.
-==History==
+Jana Pryde was seen to pilot a ''[[Turkina]]'' into battle.
-===Khanship===
-Khan Jana Pryde's rise to power had come at the cost of fostering intense division in the Jade Falcon warrior caste, a mirror of the old [[Crusader]] and [[Warden]] philosophies that had existed in the [[Clan Homeworlds]] prior to the [[Clan Invasion]].<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 63: "Clan Jade Falcon"</ref>
-Jana had been leaving the Merchant caste a free hand to run their affairs while this benefited the Clan. The arrival of the [[Blackout]] sowed chaos in their business. By mid-October [[3132]], it became clear than the Blackout wouldn't be easily resolved, and she ordered the Clan's [[Merchant Factor]], [[Marena]], to find a solution. Marena proposed the creation of well-protected [[JumpShip]]s, loaded with liquid assets, to make deals, loans, and update the [[Kerensky (currency)|kerensky currency's]] ledgers around the Clans' Occupation Zones. The ships, named [[VaultShip]]s, became a great success.<ref>''Tamar Rising'', pp. 42–43</ref>
+==Positions==

-In [[3135]], the Khan sent a force that contained the most radical elements of her warriors in what was called the ''[[desant]]'': an invasion of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. This invasion force especially contained those warriors who had come to follow the so-called [[Mongol Doctrine]] which was being popularized by Malvina Hazen (although Hazen's interpretation of the Doctrine was actually a corruption of its original form, which had been created by [[Clan Hell's Horses]]). Malvina's ''sibkin'' [[Aleksandr Hazen]] also participated in this invasion, as well as the now-disfavored Beckett Malthus. Officially, the objective of the ''desant'' was to take an advanced stronghold, opening Clan Jade Falcon's path to conquer [[Terra]], but in reality Khan Pryde simply wished to get rid of Malvina and Aleksandr Hazen by sending them on a suicide mission.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 101: "Malvina Hazen"</ref> For this reason, the only reinforcements she sent them were the worst of the [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|Falcon ''touman'']]: ''[[dezgra]]'' and ''[[solahma]]'' warriors.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 45</ref>

+{{s-title|title = Khan of [[Clan Jade Falcon]]|years=[[3129]] &ndash; [[3136]]}}
-However, Khan Pryde's plan backfired. Despite heavy losses, a defeat on [[Skye]] and the death of Aleksandr, the ''desant'' was a success, carving out a region of Jade Falcon territory that came to be known as the [[Falcon's Reach]]. When the promised Falcon reinforcements did not arrive, the remaining leaders of the ''desant'', Malvina Hazen and Beckett Malthus, returned to [[Sudeten]] with the bulk of their remaining forces, whereupon Malvina challenged Jana Pryde to a [[Trial of Position]] for the Khanship. This challenge was rejected by [[Loremaster]] [[Julia Buhallin]], as was an attempted [[Trial of Possession]]. Two attempts on Malvina's life were made by Jana Pryde's supporters, but both failed.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', ch. 9</ref> In response, Malvina denounced Jana's weakness, and declared herself the rightful Khan of Clan Jade Falcon.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 114</ref> Thus a civil war inside Clan Jade Falcon began.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 208</ref>

-Malvina's forces conquered a number of lightly defended worlds before Jana's supporters brought them to battle on [[Antares]]. However, Malvina's forces received aid in the form of Galaxy Commander [[Manas Amirault]] of Clan Hell's Horses, who led a splinter faction of that Clan which sought to emulate Malvina's use of the Mongol Doctrine. These two forces united under Malvina, calling themselves the [[Golden Ordun]].<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 165</ref> With the assistance of Manas Amirault and his Galaxy, Malvina dealt the loyalists a crushing defeat on Antares.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 196</ref> Jana Pryde was forced to move all the Falcon ''touman'' to Sudeten, but even there, her forces were defeated again. Finally, Jana agreed to have a duel against Malvina for the Khanship, trying to prevent more losses.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 262</ref>
-===Death and Legacy===
-Jana Pryde and Malvina fought in their 'Mechs, a ''[[Turkina]]'' and a ''[[Shrike]]'' respectively.  The fight took place aboard the crippled Falcon [[WarShip]] ''[[Emerald Talon]]'', almost destroying the ship in the process.  After crippling each other's 'Mechs, they proceeded to fight hand-to-hand in the vacuum of space.  Malvina managed to open the Khan's suit, exposing her to the vacuum.  After receiving Malvina's signature death's kiss, Jana died of asphyxiation.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 291</ref>
-After taking Jana's place, Malvina ordered the ''Emerald Talon'' to fall on Sudeten, destroying the capital, Hammarr, and killing all its inhabitants.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', p. 306</ref>
-==BattleTech==
-Jana Pryde piloted a ''[[Turkina]]'' she named ''Greenfeather''.<ref>''A Rending of Falcons'', ch. 30</ref> Her personal [[DropShip]] was the ''[[Falcon's Egg]]'', of unknown class.
