The '''Omega Provisional Galaxy''', is a [[Wolf Empire]] military formation formed in 3151 by the survivors of [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] at the start of the [[ilClan Era]] as a result of ''Operation Reunion''.
+
The '''Omega Galaxy''', nicknamed the "Ghost Wolves," was a [[Clan Wolf]] military formation formed in 3063 by [[Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]] in which to concentrate [[Warden]] Wolves that had not been exiled with [[Phelan Kell]] and those taken ''[[abtakha]]'' in the [[Harvest Trials]].

===Formation===
 +
The name Omega Galaxy was originally used by Clan Wolf for a [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|provisional garrison Galaxy]] which existed prior to Clan's split during the [[Refusal War]].<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 32</ref>  This unit followed [[Phelan Ward]] into exile at the command of [[Ulric Kerensky]] in [[3057]]. It should not be confused with '''Omega Galaxy''' that was formed by [[Khan]] [[Vlad Ward]] as the Wolves threw off the yoke of the Jade Falcons and rebuilt [[Clan Jade Falcon Touman|their ''touman'']] in [[3058]], this was a completely new and separate formation.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 52: The Winter Years (3059-3064) - newly formed as of 3063</ref> This unit was officially formed in [[3063]].<ref name=tpoc>''The Price of Conviction''</ref>
 +
 +
Khan Ward designed this Galaxy to eliminate the last of his Clan's warden-aligned warriors from the ''touman''. The Galaxy was highly abused by Khan Ward and became a contentious political problem for himself and his [[Loremaster]], [[Katya Kerensky (31st c.)|Katya Kerensky]]. The Galaxy was largely despised by most of the Crusader Clansman and was dispatched on missions seen as beneath the favored warriors of the Clan. The "new" Omega was stationed in the Periphery, where it was regularly sent on the task in hunting pirates. These pirates were hunted down because there were rumors that some of them were descended from [[Clan Wolverine]].<ref name=tpoc/>
 +
 +
During the years prior to the [[Jihad]], Omega had been laying on the Periphery border of Clan Wolf's occupation zone.  Its most notable action during this time period was when the Galaxy clashed with the [[New Belt Pirates]].  The Galaxy lost a [[Cluster]] worth of forces inflicting significant damage against the Pirate band.  By 3067, it was considered a shadow Galaxy, however, it was noted for its dedication to the Clan that it despised.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 53: Omega Galaxy - Minor information regarding the Clans and its activities up to 3067</ref> Prior to the [[Jihad]] the warriors of Omega Galaxy were responsible for testing a prototype of the ''[[Tomahawk_(OmniMech)|Tomahawk]]'' 'Mech.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 52</ref><ref name=tpoc/>

===Jihad and Absorption into Clan Hell's Horses===
 +
{{main|Omega Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)}}
 +
The Omega Galaxy was among the first to meet [[Clan Hell's Horses]] invasion of Clan Wolf's occupation zone in November 3070. Omega's Clusters were stationed to defend the worlds of Oberon VI, Nyserta, and Paulus Prime when the Horses arrived. These elements of the Galaxy did not put up significant resistance in the Trial for Possession of Wolf's worlds, seeing the invasion by the Warden Clan as means to leave its parent Clan honorably.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 25: Timeline of the Jihad - Horses' return to the Inner Sphere and the invasion noted in November 14-28th of 3070</ref>  It was reported that Galaxy Commander Stevic Hawker authorized each of his Clusters to conduct Harvest Trials.  Through these Trials, Omega was absorbed into the [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|Clan Hell's Horses ''touman'']]. The most notable one was fought for three weeks between the Omega's [[2nd Wolf Guards Grenadiers (Clan Wolf) |2nd Wolf Guards Grenadiers]] and Horses' [[77th Mechanized Cavalry (Clan Hell's Horses)|77th Mechanized Cavalry]] [[Cluster]].<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: 3072'', p. 24: Omega Rides Again - Loremaster Katya Kerensky reports the loss and resurrection of Omega Galaxy to Khan Ward</ref> The Omega's survivors became core members of the Hell's Horses newly formed [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Hell%27s Horses)|Omega Galaxy]].<ref>''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 139: Forcible Relocation - New Omega Galaxy formed from Clan Wolf's Warden bondsmen</ref>

===Operation Reunion===
 
===Operation Reunion===
 
Operation Reunion, rooted in the [[Battle of Arc-Royal (3146)|fall of Arc-Royal]] to the [[Clan Jade Falcon|Jade Falcons]] in [[3146]], aimed to reintegrate [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] into the broader Clan Wolf. [[Alaric Ward]], eyeing them as potential shock troops for the [[Battle of Terra (3151)|Terra campaign]], extended an olive branch despite their [[Abjured]] status. Although [[Khan]] [[Miriam Shaw]] initially declined the offer, the possibility to protect Terra from [[Malvina Hazen]] inspired many Exiled Wolves to reconsider and reestablish communication between the two Wolf Clans. Shaw and others believed that staying in the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] as Malvina's Falcons formed into [[ilClan]] would be the ultimate betrayal of their warden, protective heritage. Although due to the fighting on Arc-Royal and the neighboring worlds, of the nine operational Wolf-in-Exile Clusters, only six had survived to abandon their garrisons in May [[3148]].<ref name=ILC_99>''IlClan'', p. 99</ref>
