Contents
History[edit]
The Fourth Fang were posted to Benfled in 3054[1] and defended the planet from a raid by the Fourth Davion Guards in 3056, when the Fourth Fang's large aerospace complement came into play.[2] The Cluster still guarded the planet in 3061.[3]
By 3067, the Cluster had moved to New Kent.[4]
Wars of Reaving[edit]
Rho Galaxy deployed the Fourth Fang, the Fifth Legion and the 141st Phalanx to Eden to engage the Clan Wolf garrison during their Abjuration in 3071. The Viper Clusters had surrounded the Wolf enclave when a surprise attack against their rear by the Coyote Twenty-seventh Strike Cluster was followed by the Wolves. In the confusion, Galaxy Commander Varga was killed along with half his force.[5]
In December 3074, the Vipers launched a massive assault against Clan Coyote on Tamaron with six Galaxies and a large naval force. After a week of fighting in space, the Vipers finally forced the remnant of the Coyote navy to flee. The ground forces made for their objectives, several major factory complexes in the Apache Mountains. Securing these cost the Coyotes both Epsilon and Lambda Galaxies. The Viper assault then turned toward the planetary capital of San Mateo. By 16 December, the city was surrounded. Four Coyote Galaxies had been destroyed, at the cost of three Viper ones, including Rho and the Fifth Legion.[6]
