History[edit]
The Watchmen were charged with the defense of Huntress, the homeworld of Clan Smoke Jaguar.[1]
Being a solahma unit, like their brother Galaxy the Iron Guards, they only received minimum equipment, and consisted mainly of conventional infantry in 3054[2] until Galaxy Commander Benjamin Howell was able to bolster them with Star League 'Mechs, Clan 'Mech prototypes, and Inner Sphere 'Mechs (originally designated to be studied by the scientist caste). For these unauthorized actions, he was later executed, but the Galaxy remained upgraded.[3]
Task Force Serpent[edit]
On 12 March 3060, the Galaxy engaged the assault troops of Task Force Serpent as they landed and pushed for their objectives. It was involved in two key battles in the opening stages of the campaign:
- Pahn City - Full Battle Report by the Forty-eighth Battle Cluster
- Lootera - Full Battle Report by the Forty-fourth Solahma Cluster
By the end of the fighting on the first day the galaxy was virtually wiped out.
