27th Cruiser (Clan Diamond Shark)

History

Formation

The Twenty-seventh Cruiser Cluster was built around a Trinary detached from the Thirteenth Cruiser Cluster.

The Wars of Reaving

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 the Clan Coyote 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.

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.

Officers

As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Jem Rodriguez. In 3085 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Lyra Oshika.

Tactics

The unit was skilled at discovering weak spots in the battle line of their opponents. When the time is right the warriors increased their pressure against this spot to break the enemy formation. The cluster was also skilled to set killing zone in the back of the opponent.
