In November [[3058]] another fervent Crusader, Smoke Jaguar Khan [[Lincoln Osis]], was elected to the ilKhanship with a mandate to resume the invasion. Osis ordered a six month period of preparations for the new assault, a delay that would prevent the invasion from occurring and cost Osis both his Clan and his life.

The [[Jade Falcon Incursion (3058)|Jade Falcon incursion]] into the [[Lyran Alliance]] galvanized the Inner Sphere's leaders into ending the Clan threat once and for all. Re-forming the [[Star League#Second Star League|Star League]], they set about planning the destruction of one Crusader Clan in the hope of shifting the balance of power toward the Wardens. As the strongest Crusader Clan and the most aggressive of all the Clans, the Smoke Jaguars were selected for what was effectively a [[Trial of Annihilation]].

In [[3059]] and [[3060]], Clan Smoke Jaguar was destroyed by the combined might of the Inner Sphere. [[Operation Bulldog]] saw their occupation zone reclaimed for the Draconis Combine, while [[Task Force Serpent]] assaulted the Smoke Jaguar capital of Huntress. After crushing the Jaguars, the Star League task force then proceeded to [[Strana Mechty]], where [[Victor Steiner-Davion]] challenged the assembled Clans to a [[Trial of Refusal]] over the invasion. The Warden Clans opted out, while a series of combats were organized between warriors from the Crusader Clans and those of the Star League. This [[Great Refusal]], as it became known, saw most of the Crusader forces beaten by their Spheroid opponents. The invasion had been refuted, according to Clan law, and the Crusader cause appeared to have been dealt a death blow.

The Crusader philosophy was known to have an effect on those who supported it. First, it was made as a way to oppose the [[Wardens|Warden Clans]], then it divided further between the [[Invader Clans|Invaders]] and [[Home Clans]] (as the Home Crusaders and Invading Crusaders). After the [[Wars of Reaving]], the Home Crusader Clans became the [[Aggressors]]. While both Crusaders and Aggressors pushed for an invasion, both had different views. The Crusaders believed in subjugating the Inner Sphere as a way to re-form the Star League, while the Aggressors advocate annihilation to wipe out Spheroid taint.
