21st Vanguard Battle (Clan Fire Mandrill)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

History

The Twenty-first Vanguard Battle Cluster was one of Kindraa Kline's most experienced defensive units.[1] During the Hellion's Fury campaign, they fought the Seventy-eighth Hellion Lancers Cluster on Foster and captured several armored vehicles from the Hellions during the campaign. Although the fighting took its toll on the Cluster as the Twenty-first's commander was killed in the swamps on Foster.[2]

The Cluster was lost fighting Clan Star Adder in 3067, its material was used to rebuilt the heavily damaged 27th Vanguard Battle Cluster and the 42nd Vanguard Battle Cluster.[3]

Officers

In 3059 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Thaddeus Bush.[1] During the Hellion's Fury campaign, the Twenty-first was led by Star Colonel Lavender Kline.[4]

Tactics

They were very skilled at making defensive emplacements.[5]
