"Bjorn" Atlas

Bjorn Jorgensson was an aerospace pilot and eventual Khan of Clan Ghost Bear during the Clan Invasion.

Bjorn was originally brought up in a MechWarrior sibko, but failed in his initial Trial of Position. However, he was given a second attempt to join the Warrior Caste in a different branch of the Clan Touman per Ghost Bear tradition. He would excel in his new training as an aerospace pilot and won the rank of Star Captain by defeating three opponents in his second Trial of Position.

Bjorn served in the 140th Striker Cluster in the early waves of Operation REVIVAL. However, he would only see combat in the second wave when elements of Delta Galaxy were used to retake worlds that had rebelled. Shortly thereafter, he tested out as a Star Colonel and was about to take command of the 140th when outside events changed his path.

The deaths of Khans Nornian Tseng and Ursula Jorgensson during the Clan Wolf-called Trial of Refusal to REVIVAL caused great change within the Ghost Bears. Bloodhouses Tseng and Jorgensson, traditional leaders of the Ghost Bears, were set aside, leading to the election of Khan Karl Bourjon and saKhan Theresa DelVillar. The failures of the Clan in the opening waves were manyfold and resulted in the death of saKhan DelVillar in 3051. The Bloodnamed of the Clan would choose Aletha Kabrinski as saKhan to replace Theresa. Almost immediately upon taking the office, Aletha would issue a call for dismissal against Khan Bourjon for his lack of foresight. The Bloodnamed of the Clan quickly supported this call and nominated Bjorn for the position of Khan. Karl Bourjon would issue a Trial of Refusal against this unanimous move by his fellow Bloodnamed and challenged the call. After a brief battle in his Kirghiz, Bjorn defeated Karl and offered him hegira, thus assuming the title of Khan.
