History

The Seventy-eighth Hellion Lancers Cluster was equipped with heavier equipment than was usually seen in Clan Ice Hellion. This equipment was usually slower than most Hellion gear, and so the Seventy-eighth was used to operating by itself.[1] During the Hellion's Fury campaign, the Seventy-eighth landed on Foster to face the Twenty-first Vanguard Battle Cluster. They successfully defeated the Mandrill unit.[2]

The Seventy-eighth had suffered heavy losses lately, in part because of the recent internal fighting within the Clan.[3]

In 3067 the 78th is stationed on the world of Hector.[4]

The exact fate of the Cluster is not recorded, but in 3072 Alpha Galaxy retreated to Vantaa, here along with the remnant of Zeta Prime 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. Alpha was left in a state of confusion when Khan Montrose was killed during a Falcon flank attack. The Galaxy, including the Seventy-eighth, was effective destroyed by combat and toxic fumes.[5]

Officers

The unit was led by Star Colonel Grace Lienet in 3050.[1]

As of 3059 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Grace Lienet.[3]

As of 3067 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Patricia Rood.[4]

Tactics

The Seventy-eighth was charged with assaulting enemies who were too heavily entrenched for normal Ice Hellion tactics. Towards this, they were assigned heavier OmniMechs.[3]
