History
As of 3059, Iota Galaxy holds the Spinward section of the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone.[1]
In 3074 or early 3075 Iota Galaxy launched an attack on the Lyran Alliance world of Zanderij. Zanderij was garrisoned by mercenary units at the time: themselves engaging three mercenary units: Greenburg's Godzillas, the Tooth of Ymir and Thor's Hammers. The Thor's Hammers mercenary unit, commanded by Major Napoleon Hobart, had recently taken receipt of a battery of newly-manufactured Helepolis 'Mechs which had been organized into a battery of Artillery 'Mechs commanded by Captain Gustav Colt. Colt was a veteran artilleryman from the 12th Star Guards, a multi-regiment mercenary unit destroyed during the initial Clan invasion. Colt and the motley collection of 'Mechs armed with artillery weapons known as "Hobart's Funnies" proved hugely effective against the Jade Falcon forces, pinning Iota Galaxy down with a constant artillery barrage and preventing the Falcon forces from breaking out of their initial landing zone. Iota Galaxy attempted to remove Colt's forces by launching a head-hunting attack using Elementals, only to discover that the Hammers had predicted the attack and screened the Funnies extensively with conventional forces; the Elementals were wiped out by the Hammers, leaving the surviving elements of Iota Galaxy little option but to withdraw.[2]
Officers
As of 3059 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Gran Newclay.[1]
As of 3145 the commanding officer of Iota Galaxy was Galaxy Commander Ernest Binetti, with Star Colonel Phyllis Roshawk serving as his military aide.[3]
