Alpha Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit

History

First commanded by one of Clan Ghost Bear's founding Khans, Hans Ole Jorgensson, Alpha Galaxy has been the premier fighting unit of the Ghost Bears' touman and traditionally fights at the forefront of all its major operations.[1]

Operation Revival

During Operation Revival Alpha Galaxy played a critical role in the conquest of many Inner Sphere worlds, none more so than the capture of Alshain. Under the personal command of saKhan Aletha Kabrinski the Golden Bears managed to successfully combat the DCMS' use of mobile harassment and fortified positions to drive off the defending Kurita units. Alshain would go on to serve at the Ghost Bears' headquarters during the rest of the fifth invasion wave and eventually the capital of the Ghost Bear Dominion.[1]

Tukayyid

Alpha Galaxy was assigned to take the objective city of Spanac. They landed unopposed, then were engaged in hit-and-run attacks by the 308th Division, which did not seriously impede Alpha's progress. Alpha made it into the suburbs of Spanac, where they faced the 103rd Division and the newly-arrived 91st Division. The 91st Division, not having time to dig in, were overrun when Beta and Delta Galaxies arrived. The three Ghost Bear Galaxies were able to force the 103rd Division to retreat from Spanac.[2] [3]

With Beta and Delta Galaxies ordered to hold Spanac, Alpha was ordered to take Luk, where they mauled the Fourth Army, which came close to breaking, until the 103rd Division, reinforced by elements of the 308th Division launched an attack on Alpha Galaxy's main supply depot, forcing Alpha to turn back to defend it. Alpha subsequently took casualties heavy enough to make it impossible to take Luk, and retreated to Spanac, where the Ghost Bear campaign ended.[2] [3]

Jihad

Luthien

The lead galaxy in the December 3074 Ghost Bear attack against the Blakist presence on Luthien, Alpha engaged in absolutely no communications with their targets. Bystanders, Kuritan loyalist or rebel, were swept aside if they were caught between the two opposing forces. The Blakists were executed, whether they surrendered or not, and no salvage was gathered.[4]

Dyev

After landing on Dyev during a wave of attacks against worlds in the Word of Blake Protectorate in July 3076,[5][6] Alpha Galaxy found itself facing a Blakist counteroffensive in December when a task force breached the blockade of Ghost Bear and Snow Raven ships in orbit and landed six Divisions of troops on the surface of Dyev. The Blakists landed around Trogport and the planetary capital, Novaya Mensk, before deploying outwards. Alpha Galaxy found itself fighting alongside Omega Galaxy against the 28th Militia Division and the 3rd Bryant and 1st Lipton Protectorate Militia Divisions; the Blakists used the Tupik Chasm and various mining tunnel complexes that connected to the chasm as fortifications to try and resist the Ghost Bear attack.[7] History records that the 32nd Militia Division was subsequently destroyed on Dyev before the end of 3076.[8]

Dieron

Bruised from their trip through the Word of Blake Protectorate, Alpha Galaxy destroyed every Word of Blake unit they faced on Dieron in 3077, refusing to take prisoners. Their ferocity led them to triumph over the Blakist forces, but at a cost of about 60% of their warriors.[9]

Officers

As of 3061, the commanding officer was saKhan Aletha Kabrinski.[1]

As of December 3074, the commanding officer was Khan Aletha Kabrinski.[4]

Tactics

Besides the Clan's finest warriors Alpha Galaxy units also employ the most innovative tactics, utilizing the open command structure as established by their founder to its fullest potential.[1]
