The '''180th Attack Cluster''' was the command unit of [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Theta Galaxy]], and was often assigned to vessels considered to be the most vulnerable to attack.<ref name=FM:CRCp89>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 89: "180th Attack Cluster Profile"</ref> Between [[3059]] and [[3067]] the 180th was stationed on [[Hector (system)|Hector]].<ref name=FM:CC153>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 153: "Deployment Table"</ref><ref name=FM:Up72>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 72: "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref>

The '''108th Attack Cluster''' was the command unit of [[Theta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Theta Galaxy]], and was often assigned to vessels considered to be the most vulnerable to attack.<ref name=FM:CRCp89>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 89, "180th Attack Cluster Profile"</ref> In 3067 the 180th was stationed on [[Hector (planet)|Hector]].<ref name=FM:Up72>''Field Manual: Update'', p. 72, "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref>
  
During the history of the 180th, one of its notable members was [[Star Captain]] [[Jagriman]], a warrior from the [[Taney (Bloodname)|Taney]] [[Bloodhouse]]. Despite being mute, Jagriman commanded the [[14th Sleet Binary (Clan Ice Hellion)|Fourteenth Sleet]] [[Binary]] using a system of special "radio tap" codes. During Jagriman's tenure as CO of the Fourteenth, the Binary was composed solely of ''[[Piranha]]'' [[BattleMech]]s, and scored a victory during a [[Trial of Possession]] on [[Ironhold]] against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] that saw the Sleet lose just three warriors in exchange for brutalizing two ''[[Turkina]]s'' and winning the use of the [[Roshak (Bloodname)|Roshak]] legacy for a single generation.<ref name="TRO:CIp8">''Technical Readout: Clan Invasion'', p. 8: "Piranha"</ref>

During [[3068]] and [[3071]] the Custer was rotated across all of the Clan's holdings in the homeworlds in an attempt to confuse the other Clans as to its true strength and cover the troop movements to the Inner Sphere.<ref name=WoR84>''Wars of Reaving'', p. 84</ref> On [[Huntress]] a Society cell operating from a Brian Cache close to the Hellion enclave made its move in August [[3071]] when a Dark Caste force raided the holding. A Trinary from the 180th Attack Cluster moved to intercept and were ambushed  by a Society force of advanced [[ProtoMech]]s. The Trinary was quickly destroyed allowing the bandits to seize the enclave.<ref name=WoR110>''Wars of Reaving'', p. 110</ref>
