The '''Gyrfalcon Guards''' have an unclear beginning and history.  They were, however, known as the premier unit of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] leading up to the [[Operation REVIVAL]] Trials.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 32</ref>  Following the arrival of the ''[[Outbound Light]]'' in Clan space and the pro-[[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] hysteria that followed, the [[Grand Council]] vote was approved to authorize the Invasion and to determine the Clans allotted to the 4 Invasion Corridors.  As the only "Nay" vote, Khan [[Ulric Kerensky]] demanded a [[Trial of Refusal]].  Despite early odds of 16-1, bidding among the "Aye" votes brought the odds to 4-1.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 12</ref><ref>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 20</ref>

On 7 December [[3048]], after [[Clan Wolf]] had defeated and killed the Khans of the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bear]] contingent<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 31</ref><ref>''Field Manuals: Warden Clans'', p. 81</ref>, the Jade Falcons then took the field of Mars Field Proving Grounds on [[Strana Mechty]]Overconfident and underestimating the Wolves, while marching forward to meet them the Guards were suddenly attacked on 3 sides.  As a cascade of lost ''[[zellbrigen]]'' duels added to the confusion, more Guards warriors fell under pressure from the [[3rd_Battle_(Clan_Wolf)|Third Battle Cluster]].  The Gyrfalcon Guards were then routed, mounting only a limited rear-guard action, while the Wolves held off attacks from the Smoke Jaguar and Burrock units. Less than a [[Trinary]] survived the mauling.

Gyrfalcon Guards units receive a +1 on their To-Hit rolls for energy weapons. When rolling Hit Locations, the player may choose to add or subtract 1 from the roll to get a different location. This may not be used to change the hit location to the Head or the Center Torso<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 22</ref>.
