History
Clan Hell's Horses
Zeta Galaxy started as a solahma Galaxy of Clan Hell's Horses dedicated to hunting down the Bandit Caste. Following the Golden Century the expansion of the Horses allowed Zeta to acquire better equipment and troops, and so became one of the Hell's Horses offensive second line units. This in turn allowed them to gain some respect among their fellow warriors. Zeta continues to search and destroy Bandit Caste holdings, but they have also blunted several strikes by Clan Fire Mandrill. Unlike most second line units, Zeta was assigned a permanent WarShip so it can go on hunting missions.[1]
During the Wars of Possession that followed the Great Refusal, Zeta was used by the Horses to counter challenges to Horse territory. During this time they saw action on Niles, Tokasha, Kirin, Hoard, and Strato Domingo. Despite the heavy schedule, Zeta suffered few losses.

Notes
Opting to completely sever ties from their Horses past, Zeta Galaxy authorized a completely new paint scheme for their equipment an overall yellow-brown with grey stone-colored accents, which may be marbled or granite-patterned, and the Clan’s insignia is prominently displayed on the upper torso or arms of ‘Mechs or on the front of vehicles.
