History
Strang's paranoia about an outside invasion was realized when Operation REVIVAL reach their world. The Clans discovered that the Periphery contained a world named after the notorious Gunthar von Strang, an inhumane war criminal of the Rim Worlds Army during the Amaris Civil War. The Clans hoped to seek revenge on his descendants and Clan Jade Falcon won the bid to take Von Strang's World, led by its senior Khan Elias Crichell.[2]
When they arrived in the system in 3049, the Clan's hopes became reality. They issued a batchall to the planet but only received a vitriolic rebuke from its ruler, Stepan von Strang. Khan Crichell's forces landed on the planet after fending off the baron's aerospace forces. The Khan and his Turkina Keshik found that the baron's Guard Division was formidable and well prepared for an invasion. The Falcon forces were led astray and slowed down by Amaris City's well-armed fortifications and cul-de-sac traps in the city's valley. After the Jade Falcons penetrated and disabled the fortifications, they pushed ahead into the city and were nearly outmaneuvered by the baron's forces, but a recon fighter happened to discover their 'Mech and tank forces attempting to flank from behind. The Jade Falcon 'Mech and Elemental forces were able to overcome the Guard Division, with Khan Crichell single-handedly killing Baron von Strang in a one-on-one duel between their 'Mechs.[1]
After the battle, Stepan von Strang's body was hung from a flagpole at his palace along with the banners of the Star League and Clan Jade Falcon.[1]
