History[edit]
Just prior to 3059, the Fifty-second Hector Cavaliers took part in the bungled attack on New Kent. Initially bid out of the attack, it was recalled within hours to use its Aerospace forces to cover the retreat of the rest of the Galaxy. The unit suffered the fewest losses during the raid and was directly responsible for saving the Galaxy from total destruction.[1] In 3067 the Fifty-second was stationed on Marshall.[2]
Mid-3071 saw the Cluster along with the rest the Zeta Prime Galaxy move to the Inner Sphere. Together with Alpha and Delta Galaxies they formed the primary attack force that moved against Clan Jade Falcon industrial worlds, under Khan Montrose. Zeta Prime assaulted Wotan as its first target, which it took although at high cost to the infrastructure and HPG of the planet.[3] They moved on to capture other planets including in December Seiduts, forcing The Falcon's Delta Galaxy off planet,[4] but was itself forced to retreat in February 3072 when attacked by Hell's Horses' Theta Galaxy.[5]
The exact fate of the Cluster is not recorded, but in 3072 Zeta Prime Galaxy retreated to Vantaa, here along with the remnant of Alpha Galaxy they were assaulted by Clan Jade Falcon's Alpha and Delta Galaxies as well as Clan Hell's Horses's Iota Galaxy. The two understrength Hellion Galaxies took up a defensive position in an industrial complex, as the Hell's Horses advanced the Hellions called in an orbital bombardment from the Cage's Pride. This tore apart the Horse front line but also shattered much of the industrial complex resulting in a toxic spillage of chemicals in the air. When Khan Montrose was killed, Zeta Prime Galaxy charged the Hell's Horses line in an attempt to break out, but were totally destroyed in the attempt.[6]
