Upsilon Provisional Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)

History

After the Burrock Absorption, Upsilon Galaxy moved against the Snow Raven enclave on York. Galaxy Commander Hunter Lewis defeated Star Colonel Kelse Howe of the Second Raven Garrison Cluster in single combat, prompting the Snow Ravens to abandon their enclave. The Galaxy then took up their garrison post on York.

Upsilon assisted Omicron Galaxy in recapturing the Blood Spirit's enclave on Arcadia in 3066. During this action the 221st took enough losses that it had to be disbanded.

The Galaxy moved to form part of the York garrison after the Adder's had manage to gain a foothold supporting the effort to drive them from the planet. They remained here until the Adder assault of 3072 when orbital bombardment wiped the Galaxy out, with only the 181st Crimson Guards surviving with heavy losses.

Officers

The Initial commander in 3049 was Galaxy Commander Sal Schmitt, was transferred from Kappa Galaxy. As of 3059 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Hunter Lewis, but by 3067 he was replaced by Galaxy Commander Virgil Keller.

Tactics

Upsilon Galaxy moves troops from one place to another rapidly and unexpectedly to confuse their opponents.
