History
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 Steel Viper research facility on New Kent.[when?] Previously these raids had been successful, however this time the Cluster lost a Trinary.[1] By 3067 the Cluster had rebuilt and was stationed on New Kent.[2]
Mid 3071 saw the Cluster along with the rest the Zeta Prime Galaxy move to the Inner Sphere. Together with Alpha and 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.[3] They moved on to capture other planets including in December Seiduts, forcing The Falcon's Delta Galaxy off planet,[4] but was itself forced to retreat in February 3072 when attacked by Hells Horse's Theta Galaxy.[5]
Officers
As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Eld Coddington.[1] He was still in command in 3067, despite the losses of 3059.[2]
Tactics
The 175th was noteworthy for its disdain of zellbrigen. They usually get on the battlefield and then target whoever is in their sights. This quickly leads to a general melee. Their battlefield behavior has led to a string of unpleasant second line and garrison assignments.[1]
