Hauptmann General William Galloway was the commander of the Fifth Davion Guards during Operation REVIVAL.[1]

History[edit]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

William Galloway was stationed on Bessarabia when the Clan Invasion began. In 3051, he led the Fifth Davion Guards in defense of the planet. This would be his first engagement against the Clans and he would be unable to defeat them so had to fall back with his troops to La Grave. However, the experience he gained would proved valuable when he and his troops against faced the Clans, only the next time it was Clan Jade Falcon.[1] Using his knowledge of Clan style warfare earned against the Wolf Clan, the Bent Sword Brigade was surprised to find that the Jade Falcons could learn their enemy's tricks as well. Faced with the Fourth Falcon Talon and Ninety-fourth Striker Clusters, a Headhunter Star was successful in eliminating him. Command then fell to Colonel James Allison, who ambushed the Jade Falcon forces until he was felled by overwhelming concentrated fire from an Assault Star. The Falcons would go on to be more pragmatic in their application in the rules of honor when facing Inner Sphere forces.[2]
