History
The First Bear Guards are the elite unit of the Ghost Bear touman.[1]
Operation Revival
The First Bear Guards fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave Two
Wave Three
- Last Frontier (FRR) June 3050 - Fought the First Freemen. saKhan Theresa DelVillar was injured and fell into a coma.[1]
Wave Four
Wave Five
- Alshain (DC) December 3051 - The entire Alpha Galaxy attacked this world, with The Rage facing the Sixth Alshain Regulars. Unable to break the Regulars lines, the First Bear Guards called on the Fiftieth Striker Cluster for assistance. The two units were able to break the Regular's lines, but the Regulars were able to escape with the help of the Second Sword of Light.[1]
- Rubigen (DC) April 3052
- Sternwerde (DC) January 3052
Tukayyid
Fought the 308th Com Guard Division on the advance to Spanac.
Post Tukayyid
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War
The First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War erupted following an attack on Alshain by rogue elements of the Alshain Avengers brigade of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery in 3062,[2] and as expected Alpha Galaxy played a prominant part in the Ghost Bear's retaliation against the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.[3] The First Bear Guards struck at Idlewind while the Third Bear Guards attacked Garstedt.[4]
The Dark Age
Posted to Alshain after the Jihad, the First Bear Guards were able to rebuild rapidly and to requip from factories producing the best new equipment available; the First had been reduced to just thirty percent of full strength by 3079,[5] but by 3085 had almost doubled in strength.[6]
The First Bear Guards continued to serve as a part of Alpha Galaxy throughout the Dark Age. Alpha Galaxy continued to serve as the lead Galaxy for the Rasalhague Dominion, and as such spent a considerable amount of time protecting Alshain, the cultural heart of Clan Ghost Bear. Given that Khan Dalia Bekker regarded the Republic of the Sphere with reverence it was a foregone conclusion that Alpha Galaxy would be sent to secure the worlds of Alrakis and Konstance as the Inner Sphere began to erupt into widespread warfare again. Having deployed in 3135, Alpha Galaxy only remained in place until Omega Galaxy secured Vega.[7]
Although Alpha Galaxy wasn't around for subsequent events leading up to the formation of the Vega Protectorate, many in Alpha came to feel that steps should have been taken to prevent Omega Galaxy from "going native" at the time, and given Khan Bekkar's conservative views there was a building sense of expectation that Alpha would be called on to remove Omega's taint.[7]
Officers
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Justin Gurdel, who also commanded the 1st Bears during Operation Revival[8] and would continue to command the First until at least as late as 3067.[9]
In 3085 the First was commanded by Star Colonel Piers Tseng.[6]
The commanding officer of the First in 3145 was Star Colonel Vivian Snuka.[10]
Tactics
The command can counter the actions of enemy formation with equal or superior reactions. The cluster are also specialized to smoke out enemy formations which are dig in through a combination of air strikes/ground assaults.[8]
