Biography
Early Career
Very few details exist with regard to Jenna Scott's pre-Clan identity, even by the standards of most other Clan personnel records from that time. She was a young intelligence officer who had a knack for predicting her opponent's next moves.[2] She was attached to the infantry prior to and during Nicholas Kerensky's Second Exodus to Strana Mechty in 2801.[1][2]
Goliath Scorpion Rising
In 2807 ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky would form the Clans. Naming Cyrus Elam as the Khan of the Goliath Scorpions, he would pair the aging Khan Elam with Jenna Scott. The pairing worked well, as saKhan Scott would tend to handle martial matters, while Khan Elam would take care of the Clan's over-all strategic planning and leadership.[1]
Operation Klondike
When the Clans returned to the Pentagon Worlds in 2821, Jenna Scott would be in the true vanguard of the Clans' assault on Dagda. Dropped onto an area of the continent of Riva called Satan's Table via Torrent heavy bomber along with a Binary of troops, she would move against the McMillan Collective's Firebase Delta--and more specifically, the communications network. After securing this vital facility, the Goliath Scorpions would take the whole Firebase within a day of their landings, opening the way for Clans Widowmaker and Burrock to land and begin their assaults.[3]
During the assault on The Chosen's stronghold, Jenna Scott would lead a surprise flanking attack from over the high, airless mountainside, shattering the defenders and preparing the way for the fall of the fortress-mining complex.[4]
Ever alert to ramifications unseen by others, she would advise against Khan Elam's impulse to call in troops to help assault the continent of Tenno and the Drakkar, citing that it would make the Goliath Scorpions appear weak. Her advice would help lead to a daring yet all-together better resolution by Khan Elam whereby the Drakkar would surrender to the Scorpions with no outside aid. [5]
When ilKhan Kerensky ordered Clan Wolf and Clan Jade Falcon to finish the Dagda campaign, Falcon Star Captain Carl Icaza would disparage saKhan Scott's abilities, likening her to a Falcon cadet. The fact that she and Icaza had been lovers who parted less than amicably while on Strana Mechty would prompt the ilKhan to further site "personal animosity" as a reason why the Scorpions were effectively benched for the duration of Operation Klondike.[6]
Legacy
After Carl Icaza's insulting comments regarding saKhan Scott's abilities, the Scorpions would always seem to lean toward the Grand Council leadership of Clan Wolf as opposed to that of the traditionalist Falcons. While likely not the driving reason for their political leanings, the incident would at least help to lead the Goliath Scorpions toward the Warden philosophy.
Founder of the Scott Bloodname House, saKhan Jenna Scott's influence would lead the Scorpions to specialize in the art of information gathering.[7] Though she was considered to be in the infantry, her Bloodline is in general use throughout the Clan Goliath Scorpion Touman, producing warriors who excel in all branches of the Warrior caste.
