==History==
 
==History==
As of [[3059]] the '''21st Crimson Guards''' had never fought against any other Clan.<ref name=FMCSC33/> They were part of the force assigned to retake the [[Arcadia (Clan System)|Arcadia]] enclave from [[Clan Star Adder]] in 3066,<ref name=FMU38>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 38</ref>
+
As of 3059, the Twenty-first had never fought against any other Clan.
 
 
In [[3069]], the Guards were led by [[Khan]] [[Karianna Schmitt]] on [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]], capturing several industrial complexes from [[Clan Star Adder]].<ref name=wor42>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 42</ref> They then defended these holdings from Adder counterattack when they held off several assaults between [[3070]] to [[3072]] by Adder forces.<ref name=wor104>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 104</ref>
 
 
 
In early [[3073]] they took part in the assault on [[Eden]] against the Star Adder and [[Clan Hell's Horses]] enclaves, showing no mercy to the Adders in retribution for the bombardment of [[York (Clan System)|York]].<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref>
 
 
 
After Eden the Cluster moved to Arcadia and then Albion.  On reaching the planet the Cluster made a combat drop straight onto one of the Adder enclaves, which fell quickly.<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref> A week later they moved against a second Adder enclave; here the fighting was more fierce, they took heavy damage from aerospace attacks before the Spirit withdrew and obliterated both Adder enclaves with orbital bombardment.<ref name=wor123>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 123</ref>
 
 
 
Their parent Galaxy moved to [[Tokasha]] in mid-[[3074]], where they joined with [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Zeta]] and [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Omega]] Galaxies in an attempt to take control of the entire planet.<ref name=wor138>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 138</ref> Their plans on Tokasha were halted by the arrival of [[ilKhan]] Andrews and a [[Clan Steel Viper]] task force in September 3074 who declared a Trial of Possession for the entire planet. All three Spirit Galaxies were bid in defense. Initially the Galaxy managed to flank the Vipers' [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Beta Galaxy]] but was caught in a crushing counterattack by [[Nu Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Nu Galaxy]] the Galaxy was surrounded and reduced to only a handful of warriors who managed to escape during a friendly air strike, but Omicron and the Guards were destroyed as a force.<ref name=wor139>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 139</ref>
