 ==History==
-'''Beta Galaxy''' was formed as a complement to the Horses' Alpha Galaxy. Where Alpha was to be the quick moving hammer, Beta was to serve as the heavy anvil that would crush opponents. The heavy machines initially assigned to the Galaxy were slow, however, and the Horses saw this as a concern. Over time they assigned some faster cavalry Clusters to the Galaxy, but in 3063 the unit's equipment still had a higher than average weight.
-Elements of Beta Galaxy (the 666th Mechanized Assault Cluster) played a key role in the destruction of [[Kindraa Smythe-Jewel]]. The 666th's Alpha Trinary killed the Kindraa Leader and held the unit in position long enough for it to be wiped out by a combined force of Horses and [[Clan Coyote|Coyotes]].<ref name=FM:CRCp66/>
-In 3065 Beta Galaxy was responsible for finally taking the [[Tokasha MechWorks]] from [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and returning it to the Horses. During the assault the 666th Mechanized Assault, 888th Mechanized Assault, and 77th Mechanized Cavalry Clusters all lost a third of their strength.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 45</ref>
-===The Jihad===
-Beta Galaxy was directly involved in the invasion of the [[Clan Wolf]] Occupation Zone beginning in [[3070]]. The [[77th Mechanized Cavalry (Clan Hell's Horses)|Seventy-seventh Mechanized Cavalry]] was the lead element of Beta Galaxy to land on [[Nyserta]]. The [[Beta Galaxy Command (Clan Hell's Horses)|Beta Galaxy Command Cluster]] then fought against the [[33rd Wolf Champions (Clan Wolf)|Thirty-third Wolf Champions Cluster]] on [[New Caledonia]], mauling the Wolves and seizing the world.<ref name="FR:Cp12">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 12: "Beta Galaxy"</ref>
-In January [[3071]] the [[30th Mechanized Strike (Clan Hell's Horses)|Thirtieth Mechanized Strike]] took heavy losses from the [[13th Wolf Regulars (Clan Wolf)|Thirteenth Wolf Regulars Cluster]] on [[Steelton]] but still successfully captured the world. This was followed by the capture of the [[Star's End]] system by the [[333rd Mechanized Strike (Clan Hell's Horses)|333rd Mechanized Strike Cluster]], inflicting heavy losses on the [[1st Wolf Garrison (Clan Wolf)]] Cluster. Beta Galaxy then fought the Wolf [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Kappa Galaxy]] on [[Verthandi]], where the Wolves fought a delaying action that left Beta Galaxy tired, but ultimately victorious.<ref name="FR:Cp12"/>
-Beta Galaxy would then face the Wolf Kappa Galaxy again on [[Planting]] in June, pushing the exhausted Wolves off-world and holding Planting until January [[3072]]. Beta Galaxy went on to secure [[Harvest]] before attempting to capture [[Ridderkerk]], where Clan Wolf's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma Galaxy]] successfully held, denying Beta Galaxy the world.<ref name="FR:Cp12"/>
-In early [[3074]], Beta Galaxy was responsible for clearing the [[New Belt Pirates]] out of the [[Star's End]] system, having been dispatched by [[Khan]] [[James Cobb]] to follow up rumors of a functional shipyard hidden in the system. Beta's [[Elemental]]s and [[ProtoMech]]s were able to overwhelm the mines and hidden weapons emplacements, and with the Horses pressing hard against the pirate defenses, [[Susie Morgraine-Ryan]] chose to flee. Morgraine-Ryan's departure compromised the pirate defenses, allowing Beta Galaxy to pour in and capture the shipyards.<ref name="M&Mp144">''Masters and Minions: The StarCorps Dossiers'', p. 144: "Star's End (Novo Cressidas)"</ref>
-===Dark Age===
-In [[3081]] Beta was stationed on [[Kirchbach]] and was preparing to attack [[Clan Wolf]]. Instead the Wolves' Gamma Galaxy landed on Kirchbach and engaged Beta. Most of Beta used a frontal engagement to pin the Wolves in place, while the Ninety-first Mechanized Cluster was able to strike the rear of the Wolf position. This forced the Wolves to surrender. They were later reassigned to the border with the [[Rasalhague Dominion]], where they faced the First Freemen.<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 116</ref>
-Beta Galaxy later pioneered the "Mongol Doctrine" which used large numbers of lighter units to force an opponent onto an anvil of heavy 'Mech forces.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 151</ref> After Clan Hell's Horses allied with [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in [[3140]], Beta Galaxy was assigned to support the Falcon operations. They fought against [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]] and the [[Kell Hounds]] for a year. During an engagement with the Kell Hounds, in the [[Battle of Timkovichi (3142)]], as the Hounds were holding well, [[Malvina Hazen]] ordered a [[orbital bombardment]], destroying the Hounds... but most of Beta Galaxy was caught by the fire  and also partially annihilated.<ref>''A Bonfire of Worlds'', ch. 13</ref>
-Beta Galaxy's survivors were brought back to the Horses' Occupation Zone and used to create new Clusters. The rebuilt Galaxy was used to take [[Harvest]] and [[Romulus]] from the Falcons, and in 3145 was still guarding the Horses' border with the Falcons.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 154</ref>

 ==Tactics==
-Beta Galaxy specialized in "blitzkrieg" tactics. Their aerospace fighters hit first, followed by fast 'Mech and vehicle forces. These units inflicted damage on their opponent before moving on. Any survivors from the fighter and fast 'Mechs were then engaged by Beta's assault elements. The assault forces held the enemy in place until Elementals and conventional infantry could arrive.<ref name=FM:CRCp66/>
