History
Post Invasion
From January to March 3054, the 195th Striker was locked in a struggle for control of Persistence with Clan Jade Falcon's Fourth Talon Cluster.[1]
The 195th had landed with expectations of an easy victory, but the battle bogged down for three months, with neither side able to land a decisive blow. Finally, the commanders of both sides agreed to a personal duel to settle the fight, which Star Colonel Paul Thibaudeau of the 195th won.[1]
This campaign left a stain on the reputation of the 195th, which they tried to erase with a raid on Evciler in 3055. However, Galaxy Commander Jonathon Mercer died fighting the Seventh Falcon Regulars in this action, which led to a continuing feud between the 195th and the Seventh.[1]

Officers
As of 3058 to 3061 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Paul Thibaudeau, who had been in command since at least 3054.[2][1]
Tactics
The Cluster fights with ferocity and is very experienced in small scale warfare, because the unit blocked many raids of other clans successfully.[1]
