History

The Fifty-seventh Striker Cluster was a front line unit of Clan Steel Viper.

Operation Revival

Tukayyid

The Fifty-seventh Striker was the unit that broke the stalemate at Devil's Bath on Tukayyid. Using their speed, the Cluster flanked and isolated the 6th Com Guard Division, but only at the cost of rendering the Fifty-seventh combat ineffective.[1]

Post Invasion

Despite the near destruction of the Fifty-seventh on Tukayyid, it was rebuilt.[1] In July 3052, the Cluster was sent to seize Parakoila from Clan Jade Falcon. With the world judged to have little inherent value, the 5th PGC made only a token effort to defend the planet before retreating.[2]

In 3054[3] the cluster was stationed on Twycross along with the bulk of Gamma Galaxy and were still defending the planet in 3060.[4]

In 3069 the Cluster lost a Trial of Possession for the Roc ProtoMech complex on Arcadia to the Blood Spirits. [5]

Officers

As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Robert Grimari, who had been in command since at least 3058.[1]

Tactics

The Cluster was experienced in the use of the Viper's Maw tactic and fought in conjunction with the other Clusters of the Galaxy effectively.[1]
