−	Formed prior to [[2959]], Zeta Galaxy earned its reputation and nickname by protecting military and civilian facilities on the Ice Hellion homeworld, a fact which lessens the blow when aging warriors are assigned to the unit.

−	In [[3070]] the Galaxy move to [[Nouveaux Paris]], arriving in September. Here it began preparations for the Hellion assault on the Inner Sphere, along with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Galaxy]], [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Beta Galaxy]], and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta Galaxy]].

−	In September 3071 Zeta attacked [[Wotan]] and in October captured [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Götterdämmerung]] and [[Here]].<ref name="JS:TBDp29"/> Wotan was being defended by the [[8th Falcon Regulars (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Falcon Regulars]] and the [[78th Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Seventy-eighth Garrison Cluster]], and were other Ice Hellion forces had failed to defeat them due to the Falcon's unorthodox tactics. The Ice Hellions needed a quick win due to a severe shortfall of supplies after the capture of a major Ice Hellion supply convoy in the Deep Periphery. The Ice Hellion Watch had identified that the forces of the Seventy-eighth Garrison Cluster were operating through the city of Borealtown, although the Watch believed that the Seventy-eighth was actually based somewhere outside the city, and using the city as a cover to mask their movements. When the Watch provided [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Philippe Lienet]] with this information, Lienet responded by having Borealtown razed by [[aerospace fighter]]s.<ref name="OISP2p13">''Operation ICE STORM Part Two: Winds of Spring'', pp. 13–20</ref> Lienet's actions on Wotan were one of the key factors in the Jade Falcons declaring the Ice Hellions to be ''[[dezgra]]'' and leading a ferocious counterassault that ultimately destroyed most of the [[Clan Ice Hellion Touman|Ice Hellion ''touman'']] in the [[Inner Sphere]].<ref name="OISP2p25">''Operation ICE STORM Part Two: Winds of Spring'', p. 25</ref>	+	In September 3071 Zeta attacked [[Wotan]] and in October captured [[Gotterdammerung]] and [[Here]].

When a combined Jade Falcon and Hell's Horses task force moved against the system the remaining Hellion naval assets were swept aside.
