It was discovered that the 'Mech Factory Commando One was to destroy was in fact, a fake (although they managed to destroy several greenhouses intended to feed the military forces). Keith, however, dropped in a distant zone, and Tessa was lost along with her 'Mech due to damage to the parachute system. His lance originally included himself in a Bushwacker, Dominic Paine in a Shadow Cat, Keith Andrew (a Catapult armed with Arrow IV assault missile launchers), and Tessa McCaughnell ( Crusader).Ĭonnor and Dominic (and the MFB vehicles, commanded by Corporal Thomas Sorenson) came close to their destination and linked up relatively early. The book describes it from the point of view of Connor Sinclair, the commander of Commando One. The operation from then on was commanded by Captain Taylor of the Eclipse. The remaining forces were ordered to complete the operation.
Eclipse landed north of the peninsula and sent its forces by land, believing it unsafe to fly over the area. Seven 'Mechs deployed successfully despite that, three from Commando One, and two from Commando Two and Three each. During the drop run, the Black Hammer was brought down. What the Intel failed to reveal was that the Smoke Jaguars had constructed several tower platforms on the peninsula, armed with Naval Lasers. It was believed that should the Jaguars be significantly weakened, the Wolves would finish the job for the Inner Sphere. Instead, a decision was made to conduct a commando operation.Ĭlan Wolf possessed the majority of the world, with Corbett's Smoke Jaguars occupying a remote peninsula. Therefore, a plan was conducted to make a strike.ĭue to heavy losses among the resurrected Star League forces on Huntress, and lack of information about possible additional forces on Strana Mechty, only a small Inner Sphere force could be spared, not enough for a direct assault. The former Smoke Jaguar defector Trent advised his new compatriots that Tranquil could possess the command and production resources needed to resurrect Clan Smoke Jaguar. From this command post, he sent out a call that all surviving Smoke Jaguar warriors should rally to his position rather than to Khan Osis on Strana Mechty, and received several responses. However, Galaxy Commander Brendon Corbett, the Smoke Jaguar officer who led forces back to Huntress, bypassed the capital for the colony world of Tranquil. They were to be inserted via Drop Pods from two DropShips, Black Hammer ( Union class) and Eclipse.Ĭampaign Review Background and preparations Īfter the fall of Huntress, Lincoln Osis went to Strana Mechty to prepare for the Great Refusal and rally his remaining forces. List of participating Units of Operation DAMOCLES Īs a rapid, small scale operation, the forces sent to the operation were six lances of 'Mechs, each lance having three Mobile Field Base vehicles assigned to it.
