Famed for its unique [[Trinary|Trinaries]], the Heartvenom [[Cluster]] helped to train [[Wolf's Dragoons]] in [[3001]] before the Dragoons left for the [[Inner Sphere]]. The unit would test the Dragoons for over two years, basing their training on original [[SLDF]] manuals and [[holovid]]s, until the Dragoons became good enough to challenge any frontline Clan unit. Impressed by this result, [[Clan Wolf]] fought and won a [[Trial of Possession]] for the First Cateran's commanding officer, and after adopting him into their ranks allowed him to mold their [[4th Striker (Clan Wolf)|4th Striker Cluster]] and [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Epsilon Galaxy]] after Scorpion fighting methods.<ref name=FM:WCp106>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 106: "Seeking the Past"</ref><ref name=FM:WCp112>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 112: "1st Cateran Cluster Profile"</ref> In the Trials of Position for [[Operation REVIVAL]], the First Cateran Cluster won against [[Clan Ice Hellion]] but lost to [[Clan Ghost Bear]] and [[Clan Diamond Shark]].<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 15</ref> As of [[3061]], the First Cateran was responsible for field-testing the [[Undine]] [[battle armor]].<ref name=FM:WCp112/> Later in [[3067]] the unit garrisoned the world of [[Dagda (Clan)|Dagda]].<ref name=FM:Up78>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 78: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> ====The Wars of Reaving==== The Cluster, along with the rest of Beta Galaxy, was ordered to [[Foster]] in June 3073 along with the remnant of the Gamma Galaxy and the bulk of the Clan's fleet. In-system were forces of Clan Steel Viper. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions were granted ''[[safcon]]''. The trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Vipers' commanding officer sparked all-out fighting with no quarter given. The First Cateran Cluster were ordered to assault Firebase Nu, supported by the [[3rd Scorpion Cuirassiers (Clan Goliath Scorpion) |Third Scorpion Cuirassiers]]. The battle ended when the Scorpions called in orbital bombardment against the Viper positions.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124: "Scorpion Gambit"</ref> In June [[3074]] the Cluster was re-equipped with inferior 'Mechs and vehicles taken from an ancient weapons cache discovered on Waypoint 531. A Trinary was then sent on a reconnaissance mission to [[Córdoba]]. For three weeks it gathered intelligence from intercepted radio transmissions before landing on the planet. The Trinary split up and conducted a series of successful raids capturing Umayyad command personnel to interrogate.<ref name="WORp130">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 130: "The Goliath Deception"</ref> The Cluster was defending [[Hector (system)|Hector]] when a force from [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] attacked in December 3078. In the defense of the Bright Ledge genetic research facility the Cluster fought off two assaults that saw brutal fighting. A wayward missile salvo destroyed the main bridge that the Cobras were crossing sending half of the [[73rd Cobra Guards (Clan Cloud Cobra)|Seventy-third Cobra Guard]] to their deaths in the ravine below. The Cobras proclaimed the Scorpions ''dezgra'' for this action and crushed the remaining Cateran warriors.
