Dominion War
The Eighth Bear Cuirassiers faced the 44th Dieron Regulars on Najha and destroyed the Regulars completely.[1] They then took up a garrison station on Toffen.[2]
Jihad
As part of Delta Galaxy, the Eighth Cuirassiers supported Beta Galaxy's actions on Pesht. The Eighth then participated in taking Eltanin, Alva, Kervil, Sabik and Skondia.[3] Though successful, these operations reduced the Eighth to less than half their pre-war strength.[4]
After the Jihad ended, the Eighth Bear Cuirassiers became part of Alpha Galaxy and garrisoned Tinaca. The unit had rebuilt to 55% of its pre-Jihad strength.[5]
Officers
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Dana Vishio.[6] Star Colonel Vishio was still in command in 3067.[2]
Tactics
The Cluster use intensive air strikes to soften an enemy up. But they are also very flexible to counter enemy movement succesfully.[6]
