Jumpship Capt. advises that a signal is being made on 3-hour intervals from the 5th planet. Ships buoy is all that remains from the Merchant class Jumpship that was being used. Signal confirms that Eridani Light Horse and Kathil Uhlans have holed up on the 5th planet, and have been studying data from Salonika concerning Jaguar 398.

Smoke Jaguar force is the Delta Galaxy commanded by Star Col. Thilla Showers, which was engaged on Lands End. Though the unit did not realize this till they made planet fall. | |
| 9 July | Gateway | Once the Nova Cats realizes its mistake, it is too late. The Nova Cats second in command, Star Capt. Wendy Devalis, preferring to enlist the aid of the 1st PHG for her unit to enable them to have the chance to defeat the Jaguars, and possibly negotiate after the battle is over for the Isorla. 1st PHG views it differently. | |
| 11 July | Gateway | LOTIS and 1st PHG realize that Smoke Jaguar Star Col. Thilla Showers, held by the 1st PHG has the missing key to the location of Jaguar 398. But what will it costs them??? Missing key = SaKhan Howells interest in exploration and Spanish sailing and charting. Star. Col. Thilla Showers has an old star chart belonging to SaKhan Howell, but has failed to realize its importance. Coupled with data from Von Sereal, it pinpoints the systems location, because Von Sereal had the distance in light-years from Paradise Lost, though not a star chart to compare. Missing piece is the quote on the SaKhan Howells star chat, | |
"Cortez
burned his fleet, so that none would give up or retreat. |
|||
| Gateway | Nova Cat Star Capt. Wendy Devalis and Smoke Jaguar Star Capt. Tamera Osis requests to speak with Graf Von Sereal, and inquire as to how their units might be helped to leave the Clans, as they have no home or families, and the closest thing to family that they have is their unit. Star Capt. Osis also states that the rest of the Jaguars force are dedicated Wardens, and have came recently to the conclusion that the biological weapons and fleet would not fall into the wrong hands, and would prefer to protect the Inner Sphere from other dishonorable actions by her former clan. Star Capt. Osis also speaks of the clans practice of getting rid of disgraced and/or aging warriors by assigning them rearward garrison posts in Solohma units. Star Capt. Devalis also speaks vaguely of a vision that she has recently had about a Dragon rising to defeat the clans. Star Col. Thilla Showers and 4 Smoke Jaguar mechwarriors are returned to their clan in exchange for the paid Ransom of an Overlord-C. Star Col. Showers also agrees to leave behind Star Capt. Osis, as she is tainted and disgraced. | ||
| 27 July | Salvador | Units arrive in-system and begin searching for Jaguar base. | |
| 28 July | Salvador | Having found the base, units raced to secure it prior to the arrival of the other Smoke Jaguars or Nova Cat forces. 4 hrs. after planet-fall, Star Col. Thilla Showers arrived in planetary orbit and issued a Batchall pledging all of her assets to secure this system and its assets. Once on the ground, the forces of the 1st PHG & LOTIS found themselves outnumbered 3 to 1. With few options left to them, they prepared for the running battle that was to come. | |
| 17 Aug. | Salvador | The running battle ended with a climatic battle between elements of the 1st PHG & LOTIS command elements, the battle finally ended with a decisive victory for the 1st PHG & LOTIS. After Star Col. Thilla Showers mech went down, her XO Star Capt. Carl Moon requested Hegira stating that their forces would be off-planet in 1 hour. The timely arrival of a Fed-Com Blacklion- Class Warship, ensured that the Smoke Jaguar naval forces would not become involved, as well as, the arrival of the Eridani Light Horse planet-side, helped to ensure that all Smoke Jaguar forces would honor the Star Capt. Moons surrender. 4 hours after the final battle, a command staff meeting was held to brief the newly arrived Eridani Light Horse and the Fed-Com Commodore, Samuel Jefferies, of what had transpired and what has been captured. It is also determined that there were 90% mech losses, of which it will take 4 months to repair those forces back to 50% strength.
