In November elements of the Galaxy pulled off [[Apollo (system)|Apollo]]. Elements of the Galaxy on Here were destroyed by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] in December [[3071]]. The Third Hector Cavaliers on [[Götterdämmerung (system)|Götterdämmerung]] managed to retreat<ref name="JS:TBDp29">''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 29</ref> to the [[Dark Nebula]],<ref name=WoR84>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 84</ref> to join saKhan Rood. He had two Clusters left to him, the [[90th Striker Irregulars (Clan Ice Hellion)|Ninetieth Striker Irregulars]] from Beta and the Cavaliers. It appears that the Cavaliers were rolled into the ranks of Beta at this point and Zeta Galaxy was no more. When a combined Jade Falcon and Hell's Horses task force moved against the system the remaining Hellion naval assets were swept aside. SaKhan Rood accepted ''hegira'' and the last remnants of the Galaxy retreated from the [[Inner Sphere]] in April [[3072]].<ref>''Jihad Secrets: The Blake Documents'', p. 30</ref><ref name=WoR85>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85</ref>
