===Formation===
+
===Formation and Late Dark Age Era===
Created during the later years of [[thirty-first century]], like other Drakøns Clusters, the unit would adopt its sister unit's traits of the combat vehicle-only Trinaries, while MechWarriors would still embrace the use of physical combat.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 163: "Tundra Galaxy" - Drakøns noted for their combined arms mentality, retaining Cluster's mentality of using physical combat</ref>
+
Created during the [[32nd Century]], this was due the expansion that [[Clan Jade Falcon]]s conquests reach into the former [[Republic of the Sphere]]. The Tundra Galaxy was stationed in heart of what use to be the heart of the old [[Free Rasalhague Republic]]. Access to large populations from these worlds, the Galaxy allowed it be able to expanded and form the Second Drakøns. This partially due Tundra's positions to be able cut off the Falcon's supplies lines into their [[Falcon Reach]] region of the former [[Republic of the Sphere]].
  
===The Second Combine–Dominion War===
+
Like other Drakøns Clusters, the unit would adopt it's sister unit's traits of the Combat Vehicle only Trinaries, while Mechwarriors would still be embracing the use of Melee weapons for close-quarters combat.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'' p. 163 Rasalhague Dominion/Tundra Galaxy - Second Drakøns noted for their combined arms mentality, retaining cluster's mentality of using Melee weapons like hatchets.</ref>
As part of the Dominion response after the near destruction of the [[Third Hussars (Rasalhague Dominion)|Third Hussars]], the unit was deployed with the [[First Drakøns (Rasalhague Dominion)|First Drakøns]] in Irece Prefecture in 3099.
 
  
The unit's most noted action was in the Second Battle of [[Labrea]] in October 3099, where the Second was teamed with First and the [[Fourth Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourth Bear Regulars]].  The Second's aerospace elements would be first to encounter Clan Nova Cat's forces led by [[saKhan]] Heather Winters, helping destroy the [[Nova Cat Legers (Clan Nova Cat)|Nova Cat Legers]]' DropShip while trying to burn towards the planet.  During the month-long battle for the planet, a crippled Nova Cat DropShip would plunge itself into Second while on the battlefield.  The [[Broadsword|''Broadsword''-class]] DropShip would take out nine 'Mechs and three Stars of Elementals of the Second with it in the resulting explosion on impact. By November 19th the Second along with First Drakøns would be nearly exhausted by the fighting and forced to withdraw from the planet.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 26, 31: "The Disaster at Soverzene/The Dragon Strikes / Labrea Wave 3" - Nova Cats forces engaged the Second Drakøns along with other ally force for control of Labrea and lose</ref>
+
==Officers==
 +
As of [[3145]], the commanding officer of the Second Drakøns was [[Star Colonel]] Johan Falk<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 172 Clan Military Forces/Rasalhague Dominion - "Tundra Galaxy's 2nd Drakøns commanding officer is listed for 3145.</ref>
  
=== Late Dark Age Era ===
+
==Tactics==
Tundra Galaxy be positioned close to Falcon's Reach near the former [[Republic of the Sphere]] border. The Second would be part of the plan to cut off the supply lines into the Falcon's holdings should they be needed.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 163: "Rasalhague Dominion/Tundra Galaxy" - Second along with rest of the Tundra Galaxy posed to cut off Falcon's supply lines to Falcon's Reach</ref>
+
They like other KungsArmé related units of the Dominion, 2nd Drakøns use combat vehicles to augment their abilities and take full advantage of Clan technology prefering to use range attacks with Long-Range Missiles and artillery batteries.
 +
The Cluster like it's other Drakøns unit prefer for close-quarter combat, preferring to use melee attacks.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', page 163 Rasalhague Dominion\Tundra Galaxy - Second Drakøns preferred tactics and combat preferences noted in Galaxy write up.</ref>
  
The Second mounted an unsuccessful raid upon Camlann in [[3146]], being repulsed by the [[Second Arkab Legion]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', p. 186: "''Tai-i'' Faraj Nejem"</ref>
