History[edit]
The 144th Phalanx Cluster was part of the dezgra Psi Galaxy and was based on 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.[1][2]
When Psi Galaxy was disbanded, the 144th Phalanx was transferred to Omega Galaxy. In 3067 it was stationed on Marshall.[3]
In June 3073 the 144th Phalanx was part of the defending Steel Viper for on Foster when 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 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.[4]
