History[edit]
The Seventy-third Cobra Guards was originally raised as part of Gamma Galaxy.
By 3060 Star Captain Senalda Quong had become the voice for the Clans Crusader minded warriors, demanding a return to the Inner Sphere. She had gained considerable support from those warriors lacking a Bloodname or Cloister affiliation.[1]
In 3067 the 73rd was part of the Babylon garrison.[2]
In December 3078 the 73rd Cobra Guards lead a Clan Cloud Cobra assault on Clan Goliath Scorpion's possessions on Hector. During the fighting at the Bright Ledge genetic research station, one salvo from a Scorpion 'Mech blew the main bridge, dropping half of the 73rd Cobra Guards into the ravine. The Cobras declared the remaining Scorpions dezgra and crushed them. Upon claiming their isorla, they discovered that the Scorpion scientists, without authorization from the Khans or the Clan Council, had been experimenting with integrating Eridani Light Horse genes into their Clan legacies.[3]
