Huntress II, or simply Huntress, was the [[Clan Homeworlds]] capital of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] in the [[Kerensky Cluster]] from the early [[twenty-ninth century]] until that Clan's [[Trial of Annihilation|Annihilation]] in [[3060]]. Following this event it was divided between several Clans and briefly hosted an embassy from the [[Second Star League]].  The planet had a single moon named Sentinel.<ref name=SoFch11/>

===Planetary History===
Huntress was colonized at some point prior to [[Operation KLONDIKE]] and evidently became an exclusive possession of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] early in its history, as other Clans shied away from sharing the planet with the Jaguars.<ref name=OTPWAp4/>

====Operation REVIVAL====
In [[3051]], as the [[Bloodnamed]] Warriors were on [[Strana Mechty]] to vote for a new [[IlKhan]] after the death of [[Leo Showers]], [[Clan Steel Viper]] challenged [[Clan Jade Falcon]] to a [[Trial of Possession]] for the genetic material of [[Khan]] [[Elias Crichell]].  Three Clusters from the Jade Falcon's [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Omega Galaxy]] battled against four Clusters from the Steel Viper's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Gamma Galaxy]] on Huntress for the Trial.  Khan Elias Crichell would personally lead the Falcons in battle and defeat the Steel Vipers.<ref name=JFS29>''Jade Falcon Sourcebook'', p. 29: "Year of Peace: The Falcon Rests"</ref>

====Annihilation of Clan Smoke Jaguar====
The [[Inner Sphere]] with a combination of [[Operation BULLDOG|Operations BULLDOG]] and [[Operation SERPENT|SERPENT]] Annihilated the Smoke Jaguar Clan and seized their Homeworld. This included the systematic destruction of every war-making industry, military base, and any monuments to the achievements of the Smoke Jaguar Clan. After the [[Great Refusal]] was won, the Inner Sphere held the Homeworld as a permanent outpost in Clan Space, where a [[Star League]] ambassador was stationed.<ref>''Prince of Havoc'', pp. 135–152</ref>

===Wars of Possession===
Several Clans raided the planet{{when}}, with the goal of obtaining [[ProtoMech]] technology; only five were able to achieve those goals: the first, [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]], took the 'Mech factory on the continent of Abysmal, keeping it until 3067. [[Clan Jade Falcon]] took control of half the continent of Jaguar Prime, including the cities of [[New Andery]] and [[Bagera]]; [[Clan Fire Mandrill]]'s [[Kindraa Mattila-Carrol (Clan Fire Mandrill)|Kindraa Mattila-Carrol]] took Pahn City and its environs. [[Clan Star Adder]] won the nearby city of [[Myers]] and [[Clan Ice Hellion]] gained the Warrior Path peninsula,{{cn}} and other areas from [[Clan Coyote]].<ref name=TWORp248/>

Finally, the [[SLDF]] enclave was reduced to [[Lootera]] and its environs, keeping it until they were forced to abandon the planet at the beginning of the [[Jihad]].<ref>''The Clans: Warriors of Kerensky'', p. 27</ref>

===Geography===
The planet boasts two continents: Jaguar Prime and Abysmal, as well as two polar ice caps. Jaguar Prime is the larger and more hospitable of the two landmasses and is the primary center of the planet's population. Abysmal is a smaller landmass with a harsh, desert climate. Abysmal is only periodically utilized for training purposes by the Smoke Jaguars. Prime's geography on the other hand is not uniform and varies from plains, patches of desert, and rainforests which often pose as harsh contrasts to each other. A host of mountains break up the continent, most notably the Jaguar's Fangs range (which includes Mt. Szabo) and the aptly named Eastern Mountains. Bodies of water like the Black Shikari River, named after its uncharacteristically dark waters, Liberation Sea, and the expansive fens of the Dhuan Swamp also stretch across the landscape. Prime's climate ranges from temperate to tropical and is characterized by ubiquitous, grey clouds and occasional, fierce storms. Huntress also has a single moon, named Sentry. The distance from the system's star to Huntress is roughly seven days at a standard 1G burn.{{cn}}

Lootera is Huntress's capital and largest city. The city, like Jaguar Prime, is a series of contrasts with drab, featureless buildings standing in proximity to monolithic memorials to Smoke Jaguar heroes and the Clan's proud, warrior tradition. Lootera is home to the Smoke Jaguar military command on planet, including a garrison of ''[[solahma]]'' warriors and a few training fields. It is also the site of the Smoke Jaguar [[Gene Center]] which houses the genetic legacies of the legendary Howell and Osis bloodlines (though it was also revealed that Smoke Jaguar scientists had secretly acquired copies of the ''[[giftake|giftakes]]'' of heroes from other Clans, like [[Aidan Pryde]]). This pyramidal structure also houses an eternal laser which constantly burns upwards in honor of Jaguar warriors who perished serving their Clan. The Field of Heroes, a pavilion of stone-sculpted BattleMechs, stretches before the genetic repository as well. Mt. Szabo looms in the distance where a leaping Smoke Jaguar has been carved in its side in a monumental display of hubris. The mountain is also home to a subterranean military complex, complete with a rare and deadly Reagan anti-ship battery.{{cn}}

The cities of Bagera, Myer, Pahn City, and New Andery comprise the Smoke Jaguars' other major centers of population, industry, and military presence on planet. [[Falcon Eyrie]] is a unique exception, belonging to [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. Located in the remote Eastern Mountains, the small garrison facility was gifted to the Jade Falcon Clan years ago as a gesture of goodwill by ilKhan [[Leo Showers]]. It has since been staffed by a small contingent of warriors (almost exclusively ''solahma'') and scientists and has been used as a site for secret military and genetic research. The facility is purely symbolic and the Jade Falcons do not seek to expand their territorial holdings on the Smoke Jaguar homeworld. However, the Falcons presence has proven to be a source of periodic tension between either Clan.{{cn}}
