The following is a historical account of the Clan Jade Falcon's battle lineage while engaged in the invasion of the Inner Sphere as retold by Jade Falcon LoreMasters.
Beta VII
June 3050
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: 124th Striker Cluster
(Peregrine Galaxy)
Defending Forces: Beta VII Militia
Major Battle Sites: None
Outcome: The 124th Striker Cluster conquered Beta VII easily.
They faced an unprepared planetary militia consisting of one lance
of light Locust and Valkyrie 'Mechs,
one company of tanks, and a single infantry battalion. The 124th's
commander single-handedly wiped out the 'Mech lance, commenting
later that he found it less of a challenge than his first Trial
of Position. The tank company fought hardest, destroying three
OmniMechs before the Falcons crushed the resistance. The battle-armoured
Elementals caused the infantry to break ranks and run. Some infantrymen
turned guerrilla, most faded back into the anonymity of civilian
life.
Hot Springs
June 3050
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: Turkina Keshik, First
Falcon Striker (Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
Defending Forces: Hot Springs TMM
Major Battle Sites: Hot Springs Capital City
Outcome: The Jade Falcons attacked Hot Springs to capture
the planet where the Bloodline of Von Jankmon was born. The green
troops of the Hot Springs TMM were no match for the Falcon forces
and fell within an hour.
Malibu
June 3050
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: 89th Falcon Striker Cluster
(Peregrine Galaxy)
Defending Forces: Malibu Militia
Major Battle Sites: Malibu City
Outcome: The green troops of the Malibu Militia met the
89th Falcon Strikers four kilometers outside Malibu City. Within
five minutes of joining battle, the militia broke and ran in a
blind panic. Two Trinaries of the 89th pursued the fleeing troops
back to the city, where the planetary administrator surrendered
the world with no further resistance. Derided by both Clansmen
and Inner Sphere military personnel as a coward, the administrator
chose to save his people from being slaughtered by an invincible
enemy. Malibu has been the least rebellious world in the Jade
Falcon Occupation Zone.
Roadside
June 3050
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: First Falcon Velites
Defending Forces: Roadside Militia
Major Battle Sites: None
Outcome: Aware that it could not win if it fought the Jade
Falcons in pitched battle, the Roadside Militia took to the hills.
Splitting up into lance- and platoon-sized units, the militia
set traps and ambushes and sprung them on individual Stars. Several
Stars of First Velites fell victim to these traps, but surviving
Falcons hunted down and killed every militia member in revenge
for these dishonourable tactics. The Roadside Militia's sacrifice
tied the First Velites down on the planet for almost two weeks.
Waldorff
June 3050
Clan Jade Falcon Forces: Second Falcon Jaegers
(Gyrfalcon Galaxy)
Defending Forces: Waldorff City Police Department
Major Battle Sites: Waldorff City
Outcome: The Waldorff City Police constituted the only
armed force on the planet when the Second Falcon Jaegers landed.
One company of infantry, two armoured cars, and an UrbanMech
put up a spirited but futile fight against the Clans' superior
invading force. Using their intimate knowledge of the city, the
police led the Second Jaegers into ambushes, then disengaged from
battle and escaped through the city's storm-drain and sewer systems.
The Jaegers destroyed the central precinct house and captured
or killed most of the police force. To their credit, the police
crippled an OmniMech and killed four Elementals before the fighting
ended.
