History[edit]
The 167th Phalanx Cluster was stationed on Persistence in 3054.[1] It lost a Trinary of infantry to a raid by Clan Wolf in 3056 and had not recovered it by 3061.[2]
In 3067 the Cluster was stationed on Marshall and by this point had been upgraded to a Fang Cluster.[3]
In June 3073 the 167th Fang was part of the defending Steel Viper for on Foster when Beta Galaxy of Clan Goliath Scorpion assaulted the planet. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions granted safcon. The trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Vipers' commanding officer by an abtakha warrior of the Twenty-second Uhlans sparked all-out fighting with no quarter given. The Vipers declared the Scorpion warriors dezgra and attacked all out in reply the Scorpions orbitally bombarded the Vipers destroying them.[4]
