The [[Com Guards]]' '''Swift Justice II-Pi''', was a ComStar [[aerospace fighter]] [[squadron]].

==History==
During [[Operation BULLDOG]], the ''[[Sovetskii Soyuz (WarShip class)|Sovetskii Soyuz]]''-class CSV ''[[Harmonious Thought]]'' was deployed as the lead ship of an escort group guarding troop transports carrying forces to attack the [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] world of [[Luzerne]] in June 3059 as a part of [[Operation BULLDOG]]. When the [[Second Star League]] forces arrived in the Luzerne system they discovered a heavier defensive force than expected, anchored by two Smoke Jaguar WarShips. When the Smoke Jaguars refused to grant ''[[safcon]]'' the senior allied officer, ''[[Tai-sho (rank)|Tai-sho]]'' [[Blaise Shamfort]] decided to deploy the ''Harmonious Thought'' and the assorted combat [[DropShip]]s assigned to the Second Star League force to try to break through the Smoke Jaguar perimeter.<ref name="TDRp26">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 26: "Situation"</ref>

The ''Harmonious Thought'' deployed her three fighter squadrons ([[Vigilant Wings II-Pi]], [[Blake's Redoubt II-Pi]], and [[Steadfast Will II-Pi]]) and led a combat DropShip squadron consisting of the ''[[Claymore (DropShip class)|Claymore]]''-class DropShip [[Claymore (Individual Claymore-class DropShip)|FCS ''Claymore'']], the ''[[Avenger]]''-class DropShip [[Alacrity (Individual Avenger-class DropShip)|FCS ''Alacrity'']], and the [[Terra's Shield|CSV ''Terra's Shield'']], a [[Com Guard]] ''[[Titan (DropShip class)|Titan]]''-class fighter carrier that brought three more [[aerospace fighter]] squadrons ([[Wisdom Through Devotion II-Pi]], [[Swift Justice II-Pi]], and [[Faith's Messengers II-Pi]]) into the fray.<ref name="TDRp26+">''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 26–27: "Attack Flotilla"</ref>

The Smoke Jaguars' defense hinged around the ''[[Congress]]''-class frigate [[Snow Leopard|CSJ ''Smoke Leopard'']] and the ''[[Lola III]]''-class destroyer [[Storm Cat|CSJ ''Storm Cat'']], each accompanied by a [[Star]] of Clan [[OmniFighter]]s, as well as four assorted DropShips - an ''[[Overlord-C]]'', a ''[[Sassanid]]'', a ''[[Lion]]'' and a ''[[Carrier]]'' which added another Star of OmniFighters to the mix.<ref name="TDRp27">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 27: "Defender"</ref>

The Smoke Jaguars deliberately targeted the various transport DropShips carrying the Second Star League forces and managed to destroy half of them despite the efforts of the ''Harmonious Thought'' and the other escort vessels. The ''Harmonious Thought'' was also destroyed after an admirable fight that saw the ''Storm Cat'' destroyed and the ''Snow Leopard'' crippled, with the remainder of the transport flotilla getting enough time to complete their combat drops.<ref name="HTP:Lp6">''Historical Turning Points: Luzerne'', p. 6: "The Battle of Luzerne"</ref> Despite this, the Luzerne action was considered a disaster; the Second Star League forces were scattered across the planet and soon discovered that they were facing not just the anticipated garrison forces but also front-line units<ref name="TDRp28">''The Dragon Roars'', p. 28: "Aftermath"</ref> from the Smoke Jaguar [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Kappa Galaxy]].<ref name="HTP:Lp6"/>
