History[edit]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

Assigned to Vau Galaxy,[4] on September of 3050 the 124th Striker Cluster engaged the Gray Death Legion on Sudeten, badly mauled the famous mercenary unit, and destroyed the local Sudeten Militia.[2]

In April 3053 the Striker Cluster struck at Blue Hole, engaging the First Battalion of Stirling's Fusiliers.[5]

Camelot Command[edit]

About 3053 the unit was reassigned to Gamma (Jade Falcon Galaxy} and stationed on Malibu.[6][7] After the loss of the Dark Wing Cluster at the hands of Snord's Irregulars for Camelot Command, saKhan Vandervahn Chistu ordered the "bandits Snord" be destroyed, and two Clusters (the 8th Falcon Regulars and the 124th Striker) were sent to recapture Camelot Command in May of 3054. Rhonda Snord was warned in time by Wolfnet and her preparations allowed the Irregulars to beat off the attackers who did not cooperate among themselves but tried to beat Snord individually. After that, both Star Colonels were sent to solahma units.[8]

Afterwards[edit]

By 3059 the unit had relocated to Roadside[9], and assigned before 3067 for garrison duty to Cusset.[10] In June 3069 elements of the 124th faced the 1st Kell Hounds on Graceland. The Falcons killed Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Allard in this engagement.[11]

After the Jihad the unit is stationed on Wotan in 3079 and on Antares in 3085.[12][13]

Dark Age[edit]

The 124th was stationed on Skye when the Wolf Empire assaulted that world in March 3150. The unit engaged the Thirteenth Wolf Guards in the streets of New London, with its commander Noritomo Helmer exploiting his familiarity with the terrain to repel the Thirteenth. During subsequent fighting with the Ninth Wolf Guard Striker Cluster Helmer's Gyrfalcon was buried beneath a collapsed building and the survivors of the 124th fell back to Norfolk to join saKhan Ryan Pryde and his Turkina Keshik. When the Jade Falcons finally retreated off-world, the 124th was among them.[14]
