While Thastus warned Hazen the Falcon's had no intelligence regarding the [[Republic of the Sphere]]'s defenses, Hazen dismisses these concerns.<ref name="HOTW5">''Hour of the Wolf'', ch. 5</ref> ====Europe==== Once on Terra, Thastus participated in the Falcon's European campaign, acting as one of Khan Hazen's senior subcommanders. Winning the bid for the initial assault on Redoubt Geneva on day T+29, Thastus and Gamma succeeded in taking the local spaceport during their first push, though they were however soon forced back out of the Redoubt, by the introduction of the Republic's elite [[Stone’s Lament]] to replace the retreating militia forces.<ref name="IlClanp38"></ref> On 7 March 3151, [[SaKhan of Clan Jade Falcon|SaKhan]] [[Ryan Pryde]] was seriously injured during a false-flag assassination attempt by the [[RAF]] against the leaders of both [[Clan Wolf]] and Clan Jade Falcon, leading him temporarily unable to discharge his duties. Khan Hazen therefore promoted Jane Thastus to act as pro tem SaKhan while he recovered, on the basis she was more closely aligned with her [[Mongol Doctrine]] than the other candidate, Galaxy Commander [[Stephanie Chistu]].<ref name="IlClanp67">''IlClan'', p. 67</ref> While acting as SaKhan, on 13 March (day T+62), Thastus attended a parlay between senior Falcon and Wolf leaders in Paris to address co-ordination between the Clans for the remainder of the battle against the Republic.<ref name="HOTW20"></ref> ====Africa==== Around day T+87 of the campaign, Thastus was contacted by [[Clan Wolf]] Galaxy Commander [[Dominic Shaw]] to advise her that elements of the Republic's [[24th Republic Infantry Regiment|Twenty-Fourth Republic Infantry Regiment]] were operating near Gamma Galaxy's [[2nd Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|Second Falcon Jaegers]] near Tripoli in Africa. In response Thastus' doubled Gamma's patrols in the region, and after the Twenty-Fourth was goaded into contact with the Falcon forces, the Second Falcon Jaegers were able to mostly destroy the RAF unit. Subsequently ordering Gamma to shadow the Wolves as they headed deeper south into Africa, Thastus hoped to claim Marrakesh as her next conquest, but it was assaulted by Wolf forces before she could reach it. Enraged by this, she ordered Gamma to rush in to destroy the defending RAF [[Fifty-Fifth Armored Regiment]] first, using her own First Falcon Velites to claim the city and its governor’s residence. Following this interference, [[Wolf sakhan|SaKhan of Clan Wolf]] [[Chance Vickers]] request permission from her [[Khan of Clan Wolf|Khan]] [[Alaric Ward]] to contest Thastus’s claim to Marrakesh, but was denied on the basis the Wolves would not fight the Falcons until the Republic was defeated.<ref name="IlClanp76">''IlClan'', pp. 76-78</ref> ====Victory over the Republic==== On V-T Day, 14 April 3151, Thastus was one of the senior Falcon and Wolf officers to accept the surrender of [[Devlin Stone]] and the [[Republic of the Sphere]] on Belle Isle in Detroit, together with Malvina Hazen, Stephanie Chistu, [[Cynthy]], Alaric Ward, Chance Vickers and [[Tara Campbell|Tara Wolf]].<ref name="IlClanp81">''IlClan'', p. 81</ref> ===IlClan Trial=== On 16 April she also attended the official ''[[Batchall]]'' ceremony for the [[IlClan Trial]] in Michigan, though not as acting SaKhan, as Ryan Pryde had recovered from his injuries enough to resume his leadership duties.<ref name="IlClanp84">''IlClan'', p. 84</ref> As a senior Mongol leader, together with [[Abzug Helmer]], Thastus was also extensively consulted by Khan Hazen during her strategy sessions planning the Falcon's approach for the IlClan Trial immediate before its commencement.<ref name="IlClanp85">''IlClan'', p. 85</ref> On the third day of the Trial itself, Thastus lead Gamma on a deep drive into the lines of the Wolves [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Delta Galaxy]] which was mostly successful, until they were rotated out to allow [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Epsilon Galaxy]] to take the vanguard position.<ref name="IlClanp95">''IlClan'', p. 95</ref> By the end of the Trial however, Thastus had either been killed or defeated, and was not available to prevent Stephanie Chistu from conceding the Trial and the status of [[IlClan]] to the Wolves.<ref name="IlClanp100">''IlClan'', p. 100</ref> ==Philosophical and/or political views== Thastus was a devoted follower of Khan Malvina Hazen and her Mongol Doctrine.<ref name="IlClanp67"></ref> ==References== <references/> ==Bibliography== * ''[[The Anvil]]'' (novella) * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Hour of the Wolf]]'' (novel) * ''[[IlClan (sourcebook)]]'' [[Category: Clan Jade Falcon Characters|Thastus, Jane]]
