More [[Bloodnamed]] warriors have come from the 11th than any other Cluster within the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Wolf ''touman]]'', a number that is demonstrated during formal events when a reading of the [[Blood List]], the roll call of all Cluster members that went on to win a [[Bloodname]], is read aloud. The high number of members that have earned Bloodnames has led the unit to be given the nickname of the "Blood Gallery".<ref name=WCS97>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 97, "Star Colonel Abioseh Winson"</ref>+ === Operation Revival === − − Despite this history, the first years of the Clan Invasion were not as glorious for the Cluster. The death of high-ranking officers in training accidents or in a crash of a civilian transport made many wonder if fortune was conspiring against them. These thoughts were compounded when the unit did not perform well in Trials or against [[Inner Sphere]] opponents. The Cluster's confidence was shaken enough by these events that a rumor began to spread that Star Colonel Abioseh Winson was deliberately losing bids at Trials to avoid any further disgrace.<ref name=WCS97/> − − === Operation REVIVAL === [[Image:Wgamma.png|thumb|right|125px|Gamma's Insignia]]As part of [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma Galaxy]] the Eleventh Battle fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the [[Operation Revival|Inner Sphere]]: [[Image:Wgamma.png|thumb|right|125px|Gamma's Insignia]]As part of [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Gamma Galaxy]] the Eleventh Battle fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the [[Operation Revival|Inner Sphere]]: Line 36:
