History
The Sixteenth Battle Cluster has history of unorthodox and small-unit tactics. The Cluster's Trinaries each have their own combat style, and this leads to some factionalism in the Cluster.[1]
Early 31st Century
Prior to the the Clans returning to the Inner Sphere, the Sixteenth Battle Cluster was deployed to the Clan Jade Falcon world of Glory. Led by Star Colonel Mikel Furey, they conducted a Trial of Possession for the genetic legacy of Garrison's commander, Star Colonel Kael Pershaw. Star Captain Dwillt Radick out bidded his fellow Star Captains and won the right to fight the Trial. Among his opening moves, he had his Aerospace Fighters attack an inbound Clan Jade Falcon Dropship, which was included in Pershaw's forces. Dwillt's fighters managed to knock the Falcon Dropship down into a dangerous region of Glory known as the Blood Swamp. During the course of this trial, the Cluster was defeated in major part by efforts of Aidan Pryde in his freebirth guise of Star Commander Jorge. Aidan's plan allowed for his force come behind the Clan Wolf's assault and destroy the Clan's Command & Communication Dome, successfully defeating 16th Cluster's forces. At end of the Battle, Dwillt Radick offered himself as bondman to Pershaw, but was scornfully released immediately.[2]
Operation Revival
The Sixteenth Battle Cluster fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere during Operation: Revival:
Wave One
On The Edge in March 3050 the 16th Battle Cluster faced the Outlaws mercenary unit. The Outlaws tried to fight a set-piece battle on the Plains of Torneträsk, but were forced to retreat; two companies of Outlaw forces managed to escape, headed for Rodigo.[3]
Wave Two
The Sixteenth Battle Cluster faced the Outlaws again on Rodigo in May 3050, just weeks after the battle on The Edge, with much the same outcome; a battered remnant of the Outlaws managed to escape from Rodigo, leaving the world in the hands of Clan Wolf.[3]
Wave Three
Wave Four
Wave Five
Tukayyid
The Sixteenth Battle Cluster's combat record, with its nearly even ratio of spectacular victories and spectacular failures, prompted the Wolf Khans to keep them out of the fighting.[1]
Refusal War
The unit participated as part of the battle bitter fights of the Refusal War.
Officers
As of 3052 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Dwillt Radick. A strong Crusader, he frequently assigned Star Captain Craig Ward, a strong Warden, to dangerous situations that led many to think the Star Colonel was trying to get Ward killed.[1]
