Although Alpha Galaxy wasn't around for subsequent events leading up to the formation of the [[Vega Protectorate]], many in Alpha came to feel that steps should have been taken to prevent Omega Galaxy from "going native" at the time, and given Khan Bekkar's conservative views there was a building sense of expectation that Alpha would be called on to remove Omega's taint.<ref name="FM:3085p162"/>

3rd Bear Guards (Clan Ghost Bear).jpg
Third Bear Guards Cluster
Nickname The ilKhan's Shield
Affiliation Rasalhague Dominion;
Clan Ghost Bear (previous)
Parent Command Alpha Galaxy

History[edit]

Early Years[edit]

The Third Bear Guards nickname stems from the Third's role in serving as the honor guard for ilKhans Nicholas Kerensky and Jerome Winson whenever they traveled in Ghost Bear territory. The Third has been a showcase unit for the Ghost Bears ever since, and was one of the units to fight in the Trials that determined the invasion corridors for each Clan during the planning for Operation REVIVAL.[1] During those Trials, they defeated forces from Clan Hell's Horses, Clan Goliath Scorpion, and Clan Steel Viper and lost to Clan Smoke Jaguar. This afforded them the Free Rasalhague Republic/Draconis Combine invasion corridor.[2]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

The Third developed a reputation for ruthlessness during the invasion of the Inner Sphere;[1] the Third fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave Two[edit]

The Third Bear Guards faced militia troops on Trondheim.[3]

Wave Four[edit]

On Casere the Third faced the fanatically loyal Second Hussars of the Free Rasalhague Republic in September 3050. Using their light elements to harass the Third Guards, the Hussars lured the Cluster into an old industrial sector where their heavier elements waited in reinforced positions. The close-quarters fighting negated the superior range and speed advantage of the Third's Clan-Tech, but not the Cluster's heavy firepower. With both sides refusing to retreat, the Third were forced to destroy the Second Hussars to a man.[4][3]

Wave Five[edit]

After rebuilding for a year the Third Guards (and all of Alpha Galaxy) attacked Alshain. The defending 2nd Sword of Light frustrated the Third Guards' attempts to take the Fareer Canyons for several months. Finally it appeared as if the Second had retreated and the Third Guards pursued them. This was a trap however, and the Second inflicted serious losses on the Third Guards before withdrawing.[5]

Tukayyid[edit]

Fought the 308th Com Guard Division on the advance to Spanac.

First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War[edit]

The First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War erupted following an attack on Alshain by rogue elements of the Alshain Avengers brigade of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery in 3062,[6] and as expected Alpha Galaxy played a prominent part in the Ghost Bear's retaliation against the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.[7] The First Bear Guards struck at Idlewind while the Third Bear Guards attacked Garstedt.[8]

The Dark Age[edit]

Posted to Alshain after the Jihad, the Third Bear Guards were able to rebuild rapidly and to re-equip from factories producing the best new equipment available; the Third had been reduced to just one quarter of strength by 3079,[9] but by 3085 had more than doubled in strength while stationed on Alshain.[10]

The Third Bear Guards continued to serve as a part of Alpha Galaxy throughout the Dark Age. Alpha Galaxy continued to serve as the lead Galaxy for the Rasalhague Dominion, and as such spent a considerable amount of time protecting Alshain, the cultural heart of Clan Ghost Bear. Given that Khan Dalia Bekker regarded the Republic of the Sphere with reverence it was a foregone conclusion that Alpha Galaxy would be sent to secure the worlds of Alrakis and Konstance as the Inner Sphere began to erupt into widespread warfare again. Having deployed in 3135, Alpha Galaxy only remained in place until Omega Galaxy secured Vega.[11]

Although Alpha Galaxy wasn't around for subsequent events leading up to the formation of the Vega Protectorate, many in Alpha came to feel that steps should have been taken to prevent Omega Galaxy from "going native" at the time, and given Khan Bekkar's conservative views there was a building sense of expectation that Alpha would be called on to remove Omega's taint.[11]
