The '''Twenty-second Smoke Jaguar Freebirth Cluster''' was a second-line military formation of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]].<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
===Operation REVIVAL===<br />
====Wave Five====<br />
During the [[Battle of Luthien (3052)|Battle of Luthien]], provided with inaccurate intelligence, the Clan assigned the capture of the Arisaka Munitions Complex to the Twenty-second Jaguar Freebirth Cluster. The defending [[Amori Militia]] initially put up a stiff resistance, then feigned a retreat across the two Shaidan River bridges, luring the Cluster into a trap. As the Twenty-second crossed the river the militia detonated charges that destroyed the bridges, then proceeded to counterattack supported by previously hidden reserves, pinning the freeborn warriors against the rain-swollen river. Caught in a completely untenable position, Star Captain Edna did the only thing she could to avoid the destruction of her command and surrendered.<ref>''Luthien'', p. 55</ref><br />

==Tactics==<br />
Although little is known about the Twenty-second Freebirth, they were employed against secondary targets considered of too little importance to use front-line Clusters.<ref>''Luthien'', p. 12</ref><br />

<br />
==Notes==<br />
* Some, if not all, of the Twenty-second Freebirth surrendered on Luthien. The Cluster is not mentioned after the battle, possibly because its actions had rendered it ''[[dezgra]]'' and it was struck from the ''[[Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman|touman]]''.<br />
* It was listed as belonging to the 315th Battle Galaxy on [[Luthien]]; this unit is possibly [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Delta Galaxy]].<br />
* It was confirmed by the [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=65219.msg1512509#msg1512509 BattleTech Line Developer] that the reference to this unit in the ''Luthien'' scenario pack was in error.<br />
