Like most units of the Zeta Prime Galaxy the 175th was composed of mostly freeborn warriors. The 175th led the Zeta Prime galaxy in a raid against a [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Viper]] research facility on [[New Kent]].{{when}} Previously these raids had been successful, however this time the Cluster lost a [[Trinary]].<ref name=FM:CRCp88>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 88: "175th Attack Cluster Profile"</ref> By [[3067]] the Cluster had rebuilt and was stationed on [[New Kent]].<ref name=fmu>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 72</ref>

Mid-[[3071]] saw the Cluster along with the rest the Zeta Prime Galaxy move to the Inner Sphere. Together with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha]] and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta]] Galaxies they formed the primary attack force that moved against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] industrial worlds, under [[Khan]] Montrose. Zeta Prime assaulted [[Wotan]] as its first target, which it took although at high cost to the infrastructure and [[HPG]] of the planet.<ref name=WoR69>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 69</ref> They moved on to capture other planets including in December [[Seiduts]], forcing The Falcon's [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] off planet,<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 29</ref> but was itself forced to retreat in February [[3072]] when attacked by Hell's Horses' [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Theta Galaxy]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 30</ref>
 
 
 
The exact fate of the Cluster is not recorded, but in [[3072]] Zeta Prime Galaxy retreated to [[Vantaa]], here along with the remnant of Alpha Galaxy they were assaulted by [[Clan Jade Falcon|Clan Jade Falcon's]] [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha]] and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta]] Galaxies as well as [[Clan Hell's Horses]]'s [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Iota Galaxy]]. The two understrength Hellion Galaxies took up a defensive position in an industrial complex, as the Hell's Horses advanced the Hellions called in an orbital bombardment from the ''[[Cage's Pride]]''. This tore apart the Horse front line but also shattered much of the industrial complex resulting in a toxic spillage of chemicals in the air. When Khan Montrose was killed, Zeta Prime Galaxy charged the Hell's Horses line in an attempt to break out, but were totally destroyed in the attempt.<ref name=WoR85>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85</ref>
