History
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 This Trinary had still not been replaced by 3060.[1]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
As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Drake Sennet, a Reservist who returned from the Scientist Caste.[1] He was still in command in 3067.[2]
Tactics
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]
