Star Commander Zillon was a Clan Jade Falcon MechWarrior during Operation REVIVAL and the Jade Falcon Incursion.[1][2]
History
Operation REVIVAL
Prior to the Battle of Tukayyid, Zillon served in Trinary Alpha of the Gyrfalcon Eyrie Cluster within Clan Jade Falcon's Delta Galaxy under Galaxy Commander Samantha Clees.[1]
Zillon was reported as killed during garrison duty in the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone in May 3050. But, this report was in error.[3][2]
Battle of Coventry
In March 3058, now Star Commander Zillon continued to serve in the Gyrfalcon Eyrie Cluster during the Battle of Coventry. His unit would launch an attack to seize the Coventry Metal Works from the defending Coventry Donegal March Militia and the Coventry Militia.[4]
BattleMechs
Zillon piloted a Quickdraw BattleMech and later an Executioner OmniMech.[1]
Notes
- Per the Jade Falcon Sourcebook, Zillon is clearly designated as being killed in action. However, The Battle of Coventry book lists Zillon as alive plus in the same formation and unit. In addition, other character listings in the same unit confirm that most of the individuals mentioned in the Jade Falcon Sourcebook are mentioned once again in the Battle of Coventry book. As the Battle of Coventry book is the later publication, Zillon's status in that book overrules the earlier mention.
- Per the Jade Falcon Sourcebook, Zillon was described as piloting a Quickdraw BattleMech. A machine usually associated with Inner Sphere units and not the Clans. However, the Jade Falcon Sourcebook was published before the creation of many of the second line BattleMechs common to the Clans. So Zillon may have in actuality been piloting a second line Clan 'Mech or an older Star League era BattleMech. However, later sources, such as the BattleTech: Battle of Tukayyid, confirmed that some second line Clan pilots used common Inner Sphere 'Mechs refitted with Clan weaponry during the Battle of Tukayyid. So without another source confirming the type of 'Mech that was piloted, this article is written to show the machine as originally specified.
