180th Attack (Clan Ice Hellion)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

History

The 108th Attack Cluster was the command unit of Theta Galaxy, and was often assigned to vessels considered to be the most vulnerable to attack.[1] In 3067 the 180th is stationed on Hector.[2]

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.[3] 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 ProtoMechs. The Trinary was quickly destroyed allowing the bandits to seize the enclave.[4]

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Renold.[1]

As of 3067 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Marcus Wick.[2]

Tactics

The Binaries of this unit were broken down into an equal mix of BattleMech, Aerospace and Elemental units.[1]
