==History==
 
==History==
The '''Third Fang''' was a second line Cluster, after the Battle of Tukayyid it was composed primarily of test-down warriors from Clusters that had fought in that battle. Few experienced warriors were willing to command the Third at this time, and its CO, Star Colonel Yvgeny, dealt with the shame of defeat on Tukayyid by turning to drink. Other warriors and technicians assigned to the Cluster also displayed a lethargy or masochistic streak that would have been out of place in a front-line Cluster.<ref name=FMWCp147>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 147</ref><ref name=H&F>''Horn and Fang''</ref> From or prior to March [[3053]] it was stationed on [[Benfled]], but by [[3060]] it had been transferred to [[Jabuka]].<ref name=OR30>''Objective Raids'', p. 30</ref><ref name=FMWC168>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 168</ref><ref name=H&F/>

===Post Invasion===

...
On March 24, [[3053]] the Third Fang was engaged by a [[Maskirovka]] unit posing as a [[Federated Commonwealth]] raiding party. The Viper warriors managed to drive their assailants off, though the Maskirovka agents achieved their objective of recovering a [[SAFE]] operative posing as a Clan technician.<ref name=H&F>''Horn and Fang''</ref>
 
 
 
By [[3067]] the Cluster had moved to [[New Kent]].<ref name=FMU80>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 80</ref>
 
  
The final fate of the Cluster is not known, but they would not have survived the destruction of Rho Galaxy or that of [[Clan Steel Viper]] in [[3075]].<ref name=TWoRp149>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.149-150</ref>

In the 3050s the Cluster was often opposition force during training cycles for the Clusters of Alpha Galaxy. This gave the Cluster an advantage in defensive operations and they knew how to use Inner Sphere tactics against raiders with great effect.<ref name=FMWCp147/>
