When the Clans invaded in 3049, the Clan “strategy” for the invasion was for Clans Wolf, Ghost Bear, Jade Falcon, and Smoke Jaguar to race toward Terra. They would conquer all worlds in their path until they seized the home world of humanity. The Clan that reached Terra first would become the ilClan, leading all other Clans as it saw fit. A fifth Clan, Steel Viper, followed in reserve. Later, Clan Diamond Shark and Clan Nova Cat were moved to reserve status.To say the Successor States were caught off guard by the Clan blitzkrieg is an understatement, and Inner Sphere defenders could initially offer only scant resistance to the invaders. Faced with the threat of the Clans attacking Terra, ComStar negotiated to hold a Clan-style Trial of Possession for Terra. This battle would occur on a proxy planet rather than endangering Terra itself. A planet close to the invasion corridor and lightly populated, was selected as an ideal site. All seven Clans participated in this battle. Victory required that the Clans seize a majority of fourteen target cities, two for each invading Clan. Thus, the stage was set for the Battle of Tukayyid.
