History[edit]
Formation[edit]
The Twenty-seventh Cruiser Cluster was built around a Trinary detached from the Thirteenth Cruiser Cluster. [1]
The Wars of Reaving[edit]
By 3071 the Twenty-seventh had moved to Babylon in the Clan Homeworlds for rest and refit, along with the other elements of Alpha Galaxy. In January 3072, Clan Coyote's Delta and Epsilon Galaxies launched a devastating assault from the Coyote enclave on Babylon against the holdings of Clan Ice Hellion, Clan Diamond Shark and Clan Cloud Cobra. Of all the forces on Babylon, Alpha Galaxy put up the stiffest resistance, but eventually the Sharks were forced to withdraw, having lost many warriors - and the entire Thirty-ninth Strike Cluster.[2]
Inner Sphere intelligence services noted the absence of the Twenty-seventh and the other elements of Alpha Galaxy from Spheroid space for almost fifteen years, as well as noting their return and assignment to the Twycross system in the closing years of the Jihad.[3]

Tactics[edit]
