The traditional-minded Clan Jade Falcon treated their captees with the same attitude as their homeworld counterparts. The Falcons would settle on attacking the Lyran half of the Federated Commonwealth (later renamed as the Lyran Alliance). The Jade Falcons were brutal and quick to put down oppression on any world they conquered. Despite the harsh treatment of their labor caste in the Inner Sphere, they still respect their captees to such an extent, that they gave them a high standard of living. Although they would still impose their traditionalist views upon their captees.

History

Operation Revival

Hegira War

Even after the Great Refusal, Clan Steel Viper would continue to become a thorn in the side of Clan Jade Falcon. The Falcon's "Viper problem" would be dealt with after Steel Viper Khan Perigard Zalman insulted Falcon Khan Marthe Pryde for allowing freeborns into her Touman. Responding to this insult, Marthe would challenge Perigard to a Trial over it, starting what would be known as the Hegira War. Over the course of the war the Steel Vipers were losing ground to the Jade Falcons as well as their worlds. The climax would come when Khan Zalman himself would lead the charge in facing Clan Jade Falcon, only to be met against Diana Pryde - The Daughter of Legendary Hero, Aidan Pryde. As the two were fighting each other, Perigard would face his defeat against a freebirth he had despised. Diana would offer the fallen Viper Khan hegira, in which he would accept as all remaining Steel Viper would leave the Inner Sphere. With Clan Steel Viper ejected from the Inner Sphere and their former worlds under their control, the Falcons could breath easier as they could now focus their sights on Terra once more.

Dark Age Era

During the Dark Age Era, the Falcon worlds remain mostly untouched until Khan Malvina Hazen took command of the Jade Falcon Clan. She would set about using the Horses' Mongol Doctrine to inspire fear and awe into the worlds that she conquered. Although she has conquered many Lyran worlds, her path would halt after a failed attempt to claim Hesperus II sidelined her. The Hell's Horses would break from the alliance and conduct Operation NOYAN to purify the Mongol Doctrine to its original purpose and taking five worlds from both the Falcons and Rasalhague Dominion. During the Battle of Terra, Khan Hazen would compete in the ilClan Trial to get claim Terra moving any available warriors to depart towards Terra. The Horses, however were not done, they would enact Operation Stampede to take advantage of the Falcon worlds while at the same time, punish Malvina and her Falcons for abusing their doctrine.

ilClan Era

After the ilClan Trial, Clan Jade Falcon had been fractured as a whole. The Falcons who were on Terra were reformed into a honor guard clan led by Khan Stephanie Chistu. Elsewhere, the Lyran Commonwealth and Clan Hell's Horses were taking advantage of the Jade Falcons former worlds in a zone known as "The Hinterlands". Although some Lyran defectors would for their own nations such as the Vesper Marches and Tamar Pact. Many Falcon warriors and merchant caste members would also form their own states to fill the Clan's absence such as the Turkina Ascendancy and the Alyina Mercantile League. Clan Hell's Horses on the other hand, would take their anger out on reborn Star League by redirecting Operation Stampede into taking Falcon worlds. This operation would continue until the Falcon remnant, led by Khan Jiyi Chistu, defeated the Horses on Sudeten, holding their annexation of the world and conquest to a standstill.
