[Editor: Are they dead? Or is this the Third Grave Walkers?]
March 3050 - Bone Norman's defenders received ample warning of the enemy's advance via a test run of an FCCS surveillance satellite network that coincided with the Falcons' approach. Colonel Dennis Merwin, commander of the First Grave Walkers, read the small number of approaching Clan Dropships as a sign of weakness and attacked the Falcons as they dropped onto the plain below the Red Stone Palace. The Grave Walkers regiment initially beat back the Turkina Keshik of the Eighth Falcon Regulars (Peregrine Galaxy), but as Falcon reinforcements arrived, the momentum of the battle swung in favor of the attackers. Warned of the enemy strength, the planetary militia scattered and began guerrilla action. Bone Norman continues to be a hotbed of armed resistance to the Clans. The Second Grave Walkers fought the Falcon's Turkina Keshik again on Apollo during the second wave of Clan invasions in May 3050, alongside the Apollo Militia. Following their disastrous defeats on Barcelona an Bone Norman, the remnants of the Seventeenth Skye RCT and the First Grave Walkers regrouped on Black Earth later in May 3050. The Falcons' Gyrfalcon Galaxy hit Black Earth like a hurricane, decimating the already battered defending forces. The Jade Falcon aerospace commander surprised the Seventeenth Skye RCT aerospace fighters on the ground but allowed the pilots to scramble and mount a defense The Seventeenth's fighters fought bravely, but the Falcons over powered them. The 'Mechs and tanks of the Seventeenth held off Gyrfalcon Galaxy for an hour at the space port before collapsing. The First Grave Walkers attempted to use flaming oil from a New Houston refinery as a defensive barrier, but they learned, as the fourteenth Legion of Vega learned battling Clan Smoke Jaguar, that this tactic was useless against the Clans' superior technology. Within thirty hours of the initial assault, Clan Jade Falcon controlled Black Earth.
