'''John Jellicoe''' was the commanding officer of the Medusans from [[3067]]<ref name="MSIIp49">''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 49, "The Medusans: Looks Can Kill"</ref> to at least [[3069]]<ref name="MSUp90"/>.

==History==
He lead the unit from the ''[[Invader]]''-class [[JumpShip]] ''[[Canterbury]]''.<ref name="MSIIp49">''Mercenaries Supplemental II'', p. 49, "The Medusans: Looks Can Kill"</ref>

When the Medusans were sent to block the [[Capellan Confederation]] strike on [[New Syrtis]] in 3069, he devised a slingshot maneuver around New Syrtis to propel the Medusans' two assault squadrons into position to launch a deep space ambush against the Capellans. Both squadrons conduct a fast, slashing attack at the Capellan task force. The first warning the Capellans had was when missiles from the ''Bellerophon'''s [[Kraken-T]] launchers struck a pair of Capellan ''[[Union]]''-class DropShips.<ref name="MSUp90">''Mercenaries Supplemental Update'', p. 90, "Medusans"</ref>

The Medusans managed to destroy a ''[[Leopard]]'' and a ''[[Triumph]]'' and damaged a number of other Capellan DropShips, but took damage in turn from the Capellan forces led by the ''[[Impavido]]'' class [[WarShip]] [[Zhejiang|CCS ''Zhejiang'']], which was escorting the strike force. The ''Bellerophon'' took damage that left her main drive in need of a complete overhaul, and with the [[Word of Blake]] destroying shipyards across the [[Inner Sphere]] as the [[Jihad]] intensified the ''Bellerophon'' was still waiting for that overhaul in late [[3071]].<ref name="MSUp90"/>
