Zeta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)
History
Sent to the Inner Sphere as part of Clan Steel Viper's contribution to Operation Revival, together with Alpha, Beta and Gamma Galaxies.
The Steel Viper Khans included the second-line Zeta in the bidding for landing rights on Tukayyid (replacing the front-line Beta Galaxy) in order to secure earlier landing times and to show their contempt for the ComGuard.
Zeta was not intended to fight on Tukayyid, but ultimately entered the action to cover the retreat of Alpha and Gamma.
Officers
As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Soren Grimaldi, who took command in 3052 after the battle of Tukayyid, replacing Bard Tsongas, who was executed for publicly fingering the Steel Viper Khans as the cause of the Steel Viper defeat on Tukayyid.
Tactics
Specialize in fighting with minimal use of communication signals.
