History
Clan Star Adder
Upsilon Galaxy was formed as part of the preparations for the Burrock Absorption [1] along with Tau Provisional Galaxy, [2] and effectively destroyed in that campaign, with only a Trinary of warriors from the 471st Adder Sentinels forming a cohesive unit [3] and all other survivors being transferred to Tau Galaxy.[2]
The Galaxy was later reformed with three clusters. Many of Clan Burrock's former warriors, who had showed a die hard attitude for their former Clan, were transferred in to Upsilon Galaxy. [4] In early 3066, the Galaxy was sent on a fact-finding mission to the Inner Sphere. Their mission was to engage the best units the Spheroids had to offer and report back, much in the same fashion as the Wolf's Dragoons' mission sixty years earlier. [5] Little overall control was exercised over the Galaxy's mission and their conducted it as they saw fit. The Galaxy made many stops in the Tanis System as part of its mission, where they fell under the influence of the former Burrock Dark Caste. [4]
Clan Burrock
Galaxy Commander N'Buta was quietly removed by Star Colonel Naman Hutchinson, she falsified clan watch reports to cover her actions as the former Burrock warriors of the Galaxy attempted to resurrect the dead Clan. The few Adder sympathisers were killed and the newly renamed Zeta Galaxy moved to capture the entire Tanis system. [6]
Zeta Galaxy ambushed the Ice Hellion Beta Galaxy at the DS-822 waystation in 3072 heavily damaging their escorting WarShip and waylaying three of their five JumpShips.[7] During early 3073 the Galaxy split itself into three task forces, each with WarShip support and set about a campaign of raiding the fringes of the Kerensky Cluster and outposts on the Exodus Road, destroying all HPG stations within fifty light years of the Tanis system. The Galaxy fought two major space battles against Clan Diamond Shark in the Salonika system, capturing forty-eight merchant vessels.[8]
One Burrock task force move to Nouveaux Paris that had already fallen to a Society Cell. Here two Clusters defeated Clan Hell's Horses attempt to recapture the planet. [9]
In late 3074 the remains of Zeta Galaxy was on Tanis, it was here they were destroyed by orbital bombardment by Clan Star Adder forces. [10]
