History

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 Hells Horse's Theta Galaxy.[5]

Officers

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Rilla.[1]

As of 3067 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Olivia.[2]

Tactics

As part of Zeta Prime, the Fifty-second had a reputation for reckless attacks and fanaticism.[1]
