History

Operation Revival

Gamma's Insignia

As part of Gamma Galaxy the Eleventh Battle fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave Two

See Rodigo.

Wave Three

See Liezen.

Wave Four

See Stanzach.

Wave Five

See Maestu and Nox.

Tukayyid

On Tukayyid the Eleventh Battle fought as part of Khan Natasha Kerensky's Task Force Widow, who were given the objective of taking Skupo and supporting saKhan Garth Radick's Task Force Tundra in their efforts to take Brno.[1]

Refusal War and aftermath

Beta's Insignia

The Eleventh Battle Cluster survived the Refusal War, but was trapped on Wotan. Being a staunch Warden Cluster Crusader Khan Vladimir Ward left it intact during his reformation of Clan Wolf's touman so that its Warden members would be in one single unit. In an attempt to rid himself of these warriors Ward transferred them to Beta Galaxy and utilized the Cluster in a number of battles in the hope that attrition would finally remove them.[2]

In the wake of the Refusal War the Eleventh were instrumental in the success of the Harvest Trials. Their impact was huge and the isorla warriors they took filled the ranks of both Beta and Gamma Galaxies.[2]

As a further attempt to isolate Warden influence in his Clan Khan Ward re-formed Omega Galaxy in 3063.[3] The Eleventh Battle Cluster was transferred to the new formation, which was then sent to the Periphery to hunt pirates. The Eleventh was posted to Oberon VI along with the Dark Keshik.[4] [5]

Clan Hell's Horses invasion and final fate

The Eleventh shared the fate of the majority of Omega Galaxy—based across Oberon VI, Nyserta, and Paulus Prime—when the galaxy was challenged to a Harvest Trial by Clan Hell's Horses Khan James Cobb in November 3070. After Galaxy Commander Stevic Hawker was defeated by Khan Cobb, he and the Omega Galaxy bondsmen taken in the trials were Absorbed into the Horses' touman.[6] [7] Only a portion of the Second Wolf Guards Grenadiers Cluster, approximately a binary, were able to retreat to the Wolf OZ with hundreds of lower caste members and three dropships. [8]
