Contents
History[edit]
During the Battle of Tokasha in 2921, the Seventeenth's aerospace fighters fought over the Weißenborn Morass against those from the Hell's Horses Seventy-seventh Mechanized Cavalry.[1]
As of 3061, the unit was stationed on Marawi alongside the Thirtieth PGC.
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War[edit]
Despite being a second-line Galaxy, Theta Galaxy took an active part in the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War,[2] which began in 3062 with a suicidal attack by three regiments of the Alshain Avengers against Alshain.[3] As a part of Theta Galaxy, the Seventeenth took part in the assault that captured Courchevel; after the War was resolved with a Trial, the various other contested or occupied worlds were returned to their prewar affiliations, but the Ghost Bears retained Courchevel as isorla.[2] During the Dominion War the Seventeenth and the Thirtieth were also responsible for the destruction of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery's Third Ghost Regiment on Marawi.[4]
The Jihad[edit]
During the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word of Blake during the Jihad Theta Galaxy was assigned to Beta Wave,[5] which was led by Beta Galaxy.[6] After Beta Galaxy took heavy casualties during the attack on Ascella, an attack that began on 6 October 3075[7][8] and which went badly enough to be considered a debacle, the entire of Theta Galaxy—including the Seventeenth—was moved from a supporting role to an offensive role.[5]
Moore[edit]
The first attack launched by Theta Galaxy was against the world of Moore on 21 July 3076;[9][10] Theta performed poorly during the campaign, taking heavier losses than would be expected.[5]
Pike[edit]
Theta Galaxy assaulted Pike IV in September 3076;[9][10] while the attack on Moore had gone poorly, the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the Seventh Phalanx, which was lost after elements of the Thirtieth PGC refused to come to the assistance of the Seventh.[5]
The Dark Age[edit]
Theta Galaxy had to be extensively rebuilt after the Jihad, a process made more complicated with the transfer of the Third Bear Regulars into Omega Galaxy, and as a consequence three Clusters from Sigma Galaxy were transferred into Theta while Sigma was being disbanded to help Theta rebuild. Also pulled into Theta were elements of Pi Galaxy, which was also being disbanded,[11] also transferred into Theta as a complete unit was the Fifty-sixth Provisional Garrison Cluster[12] from Xi Galaxy,[13] another disbanding Galaxy, leaving the Seventeenth as the only unit still serving in Theta that had been within Theta before the Jihad.[12] Theta returned to being a strong defensive formation, but it wouldn't be long before the various elements of Theta were tested; in the case of the Seventeenth, the DCMS launched an attack on Sheliak, only to be rebuffed by the Seventeenth. The Seventeenth's defense of Sheliak wasn't only successful - their defense of the population was highly public, and became a propaganda coup for the Cluster.[11]
