==Description==
 
The Hungry Wolves are specially trained for extended independent action.  They also rely on their faster than average speed to engage targets and fall back before the enemy can respond.  They were so expert in these tactics that a [[Free Rasalhague Republic]] [[Colonel]], after several days chasing an elusive Star from the 7th, would comment "If they weren't so damn devastating, I'd be cheering the bastards on myself!"<ref name=WCS92>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 92, "Notes"</ref>

The '''Seventh Battle Cluster''' was a part of [[Clan Wolf]]. Formed shortly after the Wolverine Annihilation, the Seventh faced [[Clan Jade Falcon]] on [[Eden]]. During that Trial the unit was shattered. After action reports indicated that the unit suffered the loss because it ran out of ammunition. Since that time the Seventh uses 'Mechs that are equipped with energy weapons. This allowed the Seventh to operate away from logistical support, and so in [[2833]] it was an excellent bandit-hunting unit.<ref name=otpwap13>''Operational Turning Points: Widowmaker Absorption'', p. 13</ref>
