The Gyrfalcon Solahma Cluster is a military formation of Clan Jade Falcon.

History[edit]

The unit was stationed on Sudeten in 3057 together with the Gyrfalcon Eyrie and the Eighth Falcon Regulars Clusters where it was almost wiped out. It spent several years rebuilding.[1] By 3064, it had grown to five trinaries strong.[2] In May it landed on Kikuyu with the rest of Delta Galaxy where it engaged and defeated the Sixth Donegal Guards and the Dioscuri.[3] Leaving three trinaries to hold the planet, it dispatched two others to hold Chahar that had been captured by elements of Omega Galaxy.[2]
