History
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War
During the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War Omicron Galaxy deployed the heavyweight Sixth Bear Regulars to capture the world of Nykvarn. The Sixth swiftly bludgeoned the opposing Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery forces using their assault BattleMechs, only to see their campaign bog down as the defenders dispersed and began waging a guerilla war.[1]
The Jihad
Omicron Galaxy was one of the galaxies that took part in the Clan Ghost Bear campaign against the Word of Blake during the Jihad. One particularly noteable campaign was the battle for control of the former Draconis Combine world of Cebalrai. Omicron Galaxy assigned Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster and the First and Seventh Bear Regulars to the battle, with the three units deploying in mid-August 3075.[2]
Having established landing zones, the three units swiftly pushed the defending forces from the Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenaries off the continent of Lennori and continued to pursue them across Sarrina, a pursuit that culminated in a bloody three-day campaign to seize control of New Wade, the capital city of Cebalrai. New Wade was secured by the Ghost Bears on the 18th of August and the government re-established; concerns about rogue Blakist units and supporters led to the First remaining in place to both act as guards and recuperate from their losses.[2]
The Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC continued to harry the retreating Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenary forces, pursuing them back to Dragga, where the Blakists still controled the three main cities. The main Blakist strength was at Kamrin, a heavily industrial city, and the Ghost Bear forces were driving deep into the city when the Blakists acted out of desperation and detonated a chain of five neutron bombs that had been concealed under the city. The results were devastating for the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC, who were collectively reduced to just a handful of survivors.[2][3][4]
With the Ghost Bears still in control of the bulk of Cebalrai the Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster was deployed to the planet to secure Dragga, a campaign that took until at least the 23rd of August;[2] even with the Blakists annihilated,[5] the casualties inflicted on the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC were such that Omicron Galaxy halted offensive operations temporarily to reassess the campaign and attempt to recover its strength.[2]
The Republic of the Sphere established a memorial to the Ghost Bears who died liberating Cebalrai; a huge sculpture of a Ghost Bear, carved from obsidian, was placed in the center of Kamrin, the location of the final conflict between the Ghost Bears and the Blakists.[5]

As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Kedric Gilmour who continued to command Omicron Galaxy until at least as late as 3067.[6]
