Gyrfalcon Guards (Clan Jade Falcon)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

History

The Gyrfalcon Guards have an unclear beginning and history. They were, however, known as the premier unit of Delta Galaxy leading up to the REVIVAL Trials.[1] Following the arrival of the Outbound Light in Clan space and the pro-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 expected 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.[2][3]

On 7 December 3048, after Clan Wolf had defeated and killed the Khans of the Ghost Bear contingent[4][5], the Jade Falcons then took the field. Outnumbered 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 Third Battle Cluster. The Gryfalcon 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.

Khan Elias Crichel transferred the survivors to second-line Clusters, rather than see the dishonor continue.
