History

Operation REVIVAL

Kappa Galaxy was a Second Line formation, that was stationed in the Inner Sphere after the Truce of Tukayyid; in 3054 the various Clusters of Kappa Galaxy were responsible for garrisoning the Bangor, Hanover, Luzerne, Savinsville and Stapelfeld systems.[1][2] It's headquarters were on Luzerne in 3059, and Kappa Galaxy had been building up the military infrastructure on the planet as a staging area for planned strikes against the Clan Ghost Bear Occupation Zone. [3]

Operation BULLDOG

The Galaxy made a partial escape from the Inner Sphere during the third wave of Operation BULLDOG. Operation BULLDOG struck at Luzerne and Hanover in the second wave of attacks, with the Galaxy Command Trinary and Fourth Garrison Cluster taking casualties on Luzerne, whilst the Seventeenth Garrison Cluster managed to escape off-world from Hanover having taken losses. Elements of Kappa were in combat again during Wave Three of BULLDOG; Kappa's forces on Luzerne were destroyed, whilst the Seventeenth Garrison Cluster managed to make a second retreat off-world - this time from Coudoux, again having taken losses. The Fifty-first Garrison Cluster was also attacked on Bangor, taking losses and escaping off-world. During the fourth and final wave of BULLDOG, both the Third and Nineteenth Garrison Clusters took heavy damage - on Savinsville and Staplefield, respectively - before the surviving elements of the two Clusters surrendered to the attacking forces.[3]

Elements of the Seventeenth Garrison Cluster formed part of Hang Mehta's forces on Huntress in 3060.[4]
