The '''144th Phalanx Cluster''' was part of the ''[[dezgra]]'' [[Psi Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Psi Galaxy]] and was based on [[Orkney (LC)|Orkney]], after it was abandoned by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] following the Battle of Tukayyid. Over the next decade it repeatedly thwarted Falcon attempts to retake the planet.<ref>''Objective Raids'', p. 30</ref><ref name=FMWCp150>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 150</ref>

In June [[3073]] the 144th Phalanx was part of the defending Steel Viper for on [[Foster]] when [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Beta Galaxy]] of [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] assaulted the planet. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions were granted ''[[safcon]]''. The Trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Vipers' commanding officer by an ''abtakha'' warrior of the [[22nd Scorpion Uhlans (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Twenty-second Uhlans]] sparked all-out fighting with no quarter given. The Vipers declared the Scorpion warriors ''dezgra'' and attacked all-out. The 144th destroyed the Uhlans, but could not hold against the full weight of the Scorpion assault and pulled back to join with the 167th Fang. The Scorpions, seeing the Vipers actions as also ''dezgra'', orbitally bombarded the Vipers, destroying them.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124: "Scorpion Gambit"</ref>
