Though up against an elite force more than, Shiao-zhang Jasmine Liu led the ''Holdfast Guard'' in a series of traps set with hidden units and stealth-equipped shadow lances. The Guard repeated this again and again, taking incredible losses until finally they forced Ma-Tsu Kai into the open, where the House Warriors were destroyed. − − ===Jihad=== − During the [[Jihad]], House Ma-Tsu Kai landed on [[Ningpo]] facing the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[13th Division (Word of Blake)|13th Division]]. There House Ma-Tsu Kai continually harried the flanks of the 13th while the Ningpo militia pinned them in place. The Blakists responded by launching a WMD against House Ma-Tsu Kai, destroying several units. The Warrior House responded by sending their own WMD at the Blakist lines and destroying a [[Level III]]. Eventually the Capellan defenders were pushed back into Ningbo — Ningpo's capital city — and the fighting turned ugly. The conflicts between the two forces leveled the capital city. Though fighting bravely, the 13th Division had more troops and the tide was turning against Ma-Tsu Kai. The Warrior House's surviving warriors launched a frontal assault on the 13th's position. This nearly suicidal move did rout the Blakists but inflicted serious losses on Ma-Tsu Kai and left them vulnerable to a counterattack. Fortunately [[Warrior House Ijori]] arrived to reinforce the few Ma-Tsu Kai survivors.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 43</ref> − − The last attack of Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai broke the back of the defending Blakists, but the Warrior House took such heavy casualties that some sources reported it as having been destroyed.<ref name="FR:CCAFp9">''Field Report: CCAF'', p. 9</ref> House Ma-Tsu Kai rebuilt and formed a part of the second Capellan attempt to recapture the [[Pleione]] system from the Blakist Protectorate on 2 May [[3078]]. Unfortunately for House Ma-Tsu Kai and the Confederation, the battle saw House Ma-Tsu Kai virtually eradicated by [[Pocket WarShip]] attacks.<ref name="J:FRp59">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 59: "The Jihad in Review"</ref> By [[3079]], House Ma-Tsu Kai was considered to be essentially dead by the Confederation.<ref name="FR:CCAFp9"/> − − ===Post-Jihad=== − Due to the philosophical and spiritual demands of induction and training into a Warrior House, the various Houses were slow to rebuild after the [[Jihad]]. Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai was one of three to be effectively destroyed in the Jihad, along with [[Warrior House Fujita]] and [[Warrior House Lu Sann]]. Despite the loss of combat personnel from the House, Chancellor [[Sun-Tzu Liao]] chose to keep the monasteries of each order open afterwards, even though each was little more than a home for elderly veterans, new acolytes and washouts from other training programs. In doing so, the Chancellor allowed the possibility of raising fresh battalions from Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai in the future to be kept open.<ref name="J:FRp99">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 99: "The Warrior Houses"</ref> − − When [[Jonah Levin]] joined the [[RAF|Republic Military]] as a rare MechWarrior officer, he was called into service against the Liao incursion in [[3110]] by the renegade Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai.<ref>''The Scorpion Jar'', p. 135: "Levin remembers his days as commander of the Kyrkbacken Militia".</ref> His militia force was sent deep into Capellan place to world of [[Kurragin]]. There using an old [[Stinger#Variants|STG-5 ''Stinger'']] BattleMech, he led his infantry forces against the rogue Capellan warrior house in what became the Battle of Kurragin. Though wounded in the battle, he was awarded with Knighthood in the Republic of the Sphere. ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ As of 3063 the House Master was ''[[Shiao-zhang]]'' Jasmine Liu, also known internally as Liu-Tsu. − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of Warrior House Ma-Tsu Kai''' − |- − | ''[[Shiao-zhang]]''||[[Jasmine Liu|Jasmine "Liu-Tsu" Liu]]||[[3063]] − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − Ma-Tsu Kai specialize in dissecting enemy strategy and using special forces along with intelligence gathering tools to defeat the opposition before even taking the field, a tactic they have been taught by their founder Ma Kai himself.
