Composition of the Cluster overall leans into the use of Clan Smoke Jaguar specific chassis:
- Battlemechs
Tactics
The cluster prefers frontal assault tactics.
With the focus of being as aggressive as possible a careful balance must be struck between tonnage and speed while recognizing that the Touman is still only a single Cluster. The First Battle Trinary is prepared to take on the frontal assault role with heavier class mechs. The Second Battle Trinary serves the "Battle Lance" role to engage for extended periods. Finally, the Third Battle Trinary aims for speed alongside the aggression. A significant number of Shadow Cat and Cougar Battlemechs are present within the trinary.
Pouncer Trinary is a Battle Armor unit that lives up to the reputation the Fidelis earned while in service to the Republic of the Sphere. Alpha Star is made up of Kage Battle Armor suits modified to fit the larger Elemental body types. Bravo star is composed of the tried and true Elemental Battle Armor. Charlie star is a range of Battle armor split between Taranis and Simian Battle Armor.
Prowler Trinary is vehicle support. As the name references, Tread star is composed of tracked vehicles, mostly tanks of significant firepower. REACT Star is the fast mover wheeled and hover vehicles. Sky star is where the Smoke Jaguars VTOL and fixed wing aircraft are assigned.
Den Trinary is the final piece of the Cluster. This is where the Artillery star is rolled in. Everyone else within the Clan is rolled into the Trainee, Tech, and Admin complements.
