April 20 – Victor initiates a Trial of Refusal for the Clan Invasion. If the clans win, the truce of Tukkayid is up, and they can resume the invasion immediately. If the IS wins, then the Invasion is halted. The Warden clans withdraw from the Trial, forcing Crusader clans to participate. Each Crusader clan is matched in a battle against a member of the Star League. Here are the battles that are set up
Wolf Clan vs St. Ives Compact
Jade Falcon vs ComStar
Blood Spirit vs Draconis Combine
Star Adder vs Free Worlds League
Ice Hellion vs SLDF
Fire Mandrill vs Capellan Confederation
Hell’s Horses vs Free Rasalhague Republic
Smoke Jaguars vs Federated Commonwealth
The battle begins. Whoever gets the most wins overall. Nova Cat forces are fighting on behalf of the Star League. Each force is using one company. Each clan is fielding their Khan, and a bodyguard of ten mechs – one Binary. These are the best troops of that clan.
Wolf and Kai-Allard Liao’s forces draw
Jade Falcon defeats Comstar
And after the first two battles, the Clans are in the lead.
The Blood Spirits can’t match the elite 1st Genyosha of the Combine and lose
1-1-1
On the other hand, Star Adder, often considered the strongest of the “home” clans who did not participate in the invasion managed to blast the Marik force.
2-1-1
Nova Cat, under the banner of the SLDF, trounces the Ice Hellions after they slay the Nova Cat Khan, and the saKhan will die as well. Win for the IS
2-2-1
Despite the odds, the Fire Mandrill forces are overly zealous, and are smashed by the Caps.
2-3-1
For the first time, the IS in the lead
The very pissed off Free Rasalhague Drakons, angered at what happened to their nation take it to the Hell’s Horses clan. This secures the win for the IS.
The final battle is fought though. Victor himself steps into his mech and his 10th Lyran Guards not only smash the Jaguars but he personally kills the Khan Lincoln Osis in combat.
2-5-1 is the final score .
The Trial is over and the Invasion has been cancelled. The Clans get to keep the systems they captured, but they may not resume the Invasion after the Truce of Tukayyid is over.
End of Operation Bulldog, Task Force Serpent, and The Trial on Strana Mechty
