Rho Galaxy battled forces from [[Clan Nova Cat]] on both [[Caripare]] and [[Itabaiana]],<ref name="FM:Up61"/> fighting alongside forces from [[Tau Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tau Galaxy]] on the latter.<ref name="FM:Up61T">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Tau Galaxy"</ref><ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref> − Moving back into the [[Ghost Bear Dominion|Dominion]] as the Ghost Bears responded to the [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[Clan_Hell%27s_Horses#The_Invasion|invasion]] prompted by [[Khan]] [[Vladimir Ward]] of [[Clan Wolf]], elements of Rho were keen to see combat despite the Galaxy having taken a battering while fighting the Nova Cats. The warriors of the Eighteenth actively sought an opportunity for revenge against the Horses because of the Eighteenth's defeat on Niles in [[3048]]<ref name="FM:Up61"/> when Rho Galaxy fought the Hell's Horses' [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Alpha Galaxy]] for control of the Horses' main [['Mech]] production facility and took losses severe enough that the entire Galaxy was left out of [[Operation REVIVAL]] and consigned to remain in the [[Clan Homeworlds]] as the Ghost Bears' Homeworld defense force.<ref name=FMWCp91>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 91, "Rho Galaxy Profile"</ref> − − The Eighteenth were rewarded with an opportunity to attack [[Engadin]], only to discover when they arrived that the Hell's Horses forces had already fled. To compensate Rho for the perceived loss of honor the [[283rd Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|283rd Battle Cluster]] was assigned to support the [[1st Rasalhague Bears (Clan Ghost Bear)|First Rasalhague Bears]] in the capture of [[Rasalhague]] from Clan Wolf, one part of the punishment meted out against Clan Wolf by the Ghost Bears in retaliation for Khan Ward's engineering of the Hell's Horses invasion.<ref name="FM:Up61"/> − − === The Dark Age === − As a part of rebuilding [[Beta Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)|Beta Galaxy]] the Dominion assigned the Eighteenth Battle Cluster from Rho Galaxy into Beta; the Dominion also disbanded [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Delta Galaxy]] and assigned the [[140th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)|140th Striker Cluster]] to Beta. Both Clusters were assigned to worlds close to [[New Oslo]], one of the Hell's Horses worlds and a menacing reminder that whilst Beta might have had problems maintaining an extended campaign at that point, it was more than capable of tearing through a defending force.<ref name="FM:3085p120"/> − − The bloody swath that Beta cut through the Blakists during the Jihad earned them not just a passage in the ''[[Remembrance]]'' but also a grim reputation in the eyes of the Dominion's neighbors; the Dominion was more than happy to use that reputation to its advantage, and in the early years after the Jihad Beta acted as a threat to [[Clan Wolf]]. While Beta Galaxy was half the size of the Wolves [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Alpha Galaxy]], Beta was positioned within two jumps of the Wolf capital on [[Tamar]] and served as a clear reminder that Dominion was always ready to tear straight into the heart of the Wolf Occupation Zone. Despite the relatively small size of Beta Galaxy it was able to draw on the production of factories on both Alshain and [[Satalice]], and any lack of mass on Beta's part was compensated for using cutting edge and sheer mass, with the weight of the Clusters within Beta increasing as the Galaxy rebuilt.<ref name="FM:3085p120">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 120, "Beta Galaxy"</ref> − − By the mid-thirty-second century Beta Galaxy had been deployed to shield the Skandia Province of the [[Rasalhague Dominion]] from its location near the border of the Draconis Combine's Buckminster Prefecture. After the [[HPG]] blackout began Beta was the first front-line formation in the Dominion to begin receiving new equipment, including large quantities of [[battle armor]] produced on [[Mannedorf]].<ref name="FM:3145p162">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 162, "Beta Galaxy"</ref> − − In [[3137]] as Clan Wolf was abandoning their Occupation Zone Beta Galaxy was swiftly redeployed to capture a number of worlds that had been members of the former [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]. In a swift campaign the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Battle Clusters managed to seize [[Carse]], [[Galuzzo]], [[Jabuka]] and [[Quarell]] before the Eighteenth collided with the [[1st Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Jaegers]] on [[La Grave]]. The light [[Clan Jade Falcon]] unit used hordes of light 'Mechs to outflank the Eighteenth, cutting their supply lines and initially refusing calls for ''[[hegira]]''. The Eighteenth managed to avoid being wiped out when Star Colonel Lynda managed to win ''hegira'' through single combat, but after La Grave Beta Galaxy began training furiously for revenge against the Jade Falcons even while threats to the Dominion on all sides forced the Dominion Council to keep the Galaxy leashed.<ref name="FM:3145p162"/><ref name="FM:3145p156">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 156, "Epsilon Galaxy"</ref> ==Officers== ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable"+ As of [[3061]] the Commanding Officer was [[Star Colonel]] Dana [[Bekker (Bloodname)|Bekker]] − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 18th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)''' − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 18th Battle (Rasalhague Dominion)''' − |- − | [[Star Colonel]]||[[Dana Bekker]]||[[3061]] - [[3085]]<ref name=FMWC92/><ref name="FM:Up77">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 77, "Rho Galaxy (Bear Essentials)"</ref><ref name="FM:3085p127"/> − |- − | Star Colonel||[[Lynda]]||[[3145]]<ref name="FM:3145p172">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 172, "Beta Galaxy (Night Howlers)"</ref> − |- − |} ==Tactics== ==Tactics== − The Cluster is specialized in defensive tactics because their long duty as garrison force.
