The Khan Ward created the newly reformed Omega as means to concentrate [[Warden]] politically aligned Warriors of the then largely aggressive Crusader controlled Clan. Khan Ward designed the eliminate the last of his Clan's warden aligned warriors from the touman. The Clan was highly abused by Khan Ward and became contentious political problem himself and his [[Loremaster]], [[Katya Kerensky II|Katya Kerensky]].  The Galaxy was largely despised by most of the Crusader clansman, it was dispatched on missions seen as beneath the warriors of the Clan, but not them. The "new" Omega was stationed in the Periphery, where it was regularly sent on the task in hunting pirates. These pirates were hunted down because there were rumors that some of them were descended from [[Clan Wolverine]].<ref name=tpoc/>

During the years prior to the [[Jihad]], the Omega had been laying on the Periphery border of Clan Wolf's occupation zone.  Its most notable action during this time period was when the Galaxy clashed with the [[New Belt Pirates]].  The galaxy lost a [[cluster]] worth of forces inflicting significant damaged against the Pirate band.  By 3067, it was considered a shadow galaxy, however its was noted for its dedication to the Clan that whom despised.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 53 Omega Galaxy - Minor information regarding the clans and its activities up to 3067.</ref> Prior to the [[Jihad]] the warriors of Omega Galaxy were responsible for testing a prototype of the ''[[Tomahawk_(OmniMech)|Tomahawk]]'' 'Mech.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 52</ref><ref name=tpoc/>

Omega Galaxy was a Clan Hell's Horses military formation formed in 3070 by Khan James Cobb after the absorption of the Wolf Clan's Omega Galaxy the Ghost Wolves.

Jihad and Absorption into Clan Hell's Horses[edit]

Main article: Omega Galaxy (Clan Wolf)
Insignia of the original Omega Galaxy, Clan Wolf

Omega Galaxy was a product of Clan Hell's Horses' invasion of the Inner Sphere in 3070. The core of the Galaxy's troops were former Clan Wolf Warden warriors who were stationed on the Periphery border as pirate hunters. Disdained by their parent Clan, Khan Cobb used the mistreated and grateful Wolf warriors as the core of needed additional Galaxy warriors.[2][3] Clan Wolf's Omega Galaxy was among the first to meet Clan Hell's Horses invasion of Clan Wolf's occupation zone in November 3070. Omega's Clusters were stationed to defend the worlds of Oberon VI, Nyserta, and Paulus Prime when the Horses arrived. These elements of the Galaxy did not put up significant resistance in the Trial for Possession of Wolf's worlds, seeing the invasion by the Warden Clan as means to leave its parent Clan honorably.[4] It was reported that Galaxy Commander Stevic Hawker authorized each of his Clusters to conduct Harvest Trials. Through these Trials, Omega was absorbed into the Clan Hell's Horses touman. The most notable one was fought for three weeks between the Omega's 2nd Wolf Guards Grenadiers and Horses' 77th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster.[5] The Omega's survivors became core members of the Hell's Horses newly formed Omega Galaxy.[6]

History[edit]

War with Wolves[edit]

The Horses sent the Omega Galaxy to claim worlds from the Wolves. Omega fought against Clan Wolf on various worlds, such as Crellacor, Butte Hold, Placida, and Rodigo, where the Galaxy distinguished itself in its fighting there. After the Hell's Horses' fighting efforts helped to end the Ice Hellion's invasion in 3072, two Clusters worth of troops were assigned as part of the Omega's composition.[7] These two Clusters consisted of former Clan Ice Hellion warriors. Despite these reinforcements Omega's component Clusters were woefully understrength, with the strongest unit at a mere third of its nominal strength.[8]

Republic Era[edit]

After the conclusion of the Word of Blake Jihad Omega was selected for an assault against the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone, its Clusters gathering on Bruben in preparation. However in 3081 two Clusters from the Wolves Beta Galaxy struck first, with both sides relatively evenly matched and using almost identical tactics. The Hell's Horses and Wolves would fight each other for nearly a month, neither able to gain the advantage until the fighting on Kirchbach forced Beta to withdraw.[9]

By 3085 however Omega's component Clusters had rebuilt, nearly reaching half their nominal strength.[10]

Dark Age[edit]

Between 3094 and 3095 Omega Galaxy tested the Anat troop carrier for their Clan. During these tests elements of Omega landed on Botany Bay and destroyed a pirate base.[11]

By 3145 Omega Galaxy had received three Ranger Clusters. They were still stationed along the Periphery border, ostensibly to guard against attack by Clan Jade Falcon. The Falcons, however, hadn't raided the area in years. Instead Omega spent a great deal of time listening to representatives of the Republic of the Barrens. The small Periphery nation was being attacked by forces of the New Oberon Confederation. The Republic of the Barrens was pushing for Omega to take a more active role in defending their territory.[12]
