History[edit]
A Cruiser Trinary was detached from the Cluster at some point after the Battle of Tukayyid in 3052 and used to form the core of Alpha Galaxy's new Twenty-seventh Cruiser Cluster. This Trinary had still not been replaced by 3060.[1]
By 3067 the Cluster had been assigned to the CDS Speculator as a mobile force.[2]
Officers[edit]
| Rank | Name | Command | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Commanding Officers of the 13th Cruiser | |||
| Star Colonel | Drake Sennet | 3061 - 3067[2] | |
Tactics[edit]
The Cluster prefers smaller engagements, where they excel. During combat a large enemy force is broken down into smaller parts, which are step by step defeated.[1]
