Clan Jade Falcon

Clan Jade Falcon is a Clan in Battletech

History

Clan Jade Falcon was created in 2807 and was put under the command of one Elizabeth Hazen. Giving her a Clan was something of a no-brainer as she'd served in the Royal Black Watch Regiment (House Cameron's elite personal guard), spent fourteen years fighting Ameris on Terra and had served Alexander Kerensky unwaveringly until his death trying to maintain order through Exodus and the Exodus Civil War. She had the skills, track record, loyalty and respect of the SLDF, as well as being a major Hard-Ass who was 110% done dealing with bullshit from those who could not just play nice. During Operation KLONDIKE, the Jade Falcons invaded the planet Eden.

In the aftermath of the Exodus Civil War, some of her followers were upset that Nicholas Kerensky decided to make Clan Wolf his Clan instead of Jade Falcon and were causing trouble. Hazen's responds was direct, execute all the officers involved and reassign the survivors.

Clan Jade Falcon was one of the four clans who invaded the inner sphere in Operation Revival.

Culture

Clan Jade Falcon could be said to be the most Clanlike Clan to ever Clan. They are traditionalists and try to stick as closely to Nicky's vision as they can. They are militarized, honor obsessed and believe in maintaining the vision laid out to them as closely as they can. Warriors are preeminent, especially Trueborn Warriors (Freeborns wear silver Rank Insignia while Trueborn wear gold) and there is little tolerance for dissent. That said, unlike some assholes the Jade Falcons know that a strong Civilian Caste is good for the Clan as a whole. In praticular the Merchant Caste of Jade Falcon has produced some fearsome bankers.

Even so, they have adapted somewhat since relocating to the Inner Sphere. Facing down foes who not only refuse to play by the official Clan handbook of honorable conduct but treat it with contempt and ruling over billions of non-Clanners sort of requires it.

Military

The Jade Falcon's adhere to the teachings of Nicolas in warfare. With the mind set of how a war is won is just as important as simply winning it. As they always adhere to the rules of zellbrigen at all times(unless their commander says they can break it). During their invasion run, they still do this against Inner Sphere foes who tend to exploit this, but after the Battle of Tukayyid, they pretty much ditch this habit against non-Clan foes. They do practice in combined-arms warfare preferably with Omnimechs as the centerpiece of their armies with Omnifighters and Elementals supporting them on the flanks.
