History
Originally based on New Kent.[1]
Was part of the Clan Steel Viper force for Operation Revival, but was left out of the bidding for Tukayyid in favor of Zeta Galaxy and did not see action until the post-Truce Trials of Possession for worlds held by Clan Jade Falcon.[1]
Beta Galaxy units fought on the following worlds post-invasion:
War of Reaving
A large Viper force of four Galaxies arrived at Tokasha in September 3074 . Finding Clan Blood Spirit forces in a position to take the entire planet the Vipers called their own Trial of Possession for it. The Blood Spirits had three Galaxies on planet and the Vipers landed all four of their to oppose them. The Vipers moved against each Galaxy in turn first crushing Zeta in Koche Mountains. Beta Galaxy found itself outflanked by the Spirits' Omicron Galaxy, but the timely arrival of Nu Galaxy crushed the defenders. Only the arrival of aerospace fighters bombing the Viper lines allowed a few of the warriors to escape. The assault by Gamma Galaxy overran the defensive line of Omega Galaxy allowing Alpha Galaxy to push on to the Blood Spirits headquarters killing their Khan. [2]
Officers
Galaxy Commander Jonathon Mercer was the commanding officer until he was killed during a raid on Evciler in 3055 fighting the Jade Falcons. After his death Galaxy Commander Angelica Zalman replaced him.[1] She was still the commanding officer in 3069.[3]
