History[edit]

Clan Goliath Scorpion[edit]

The Eleventh Scorpion Dragoons was largely populated by solahma warriors and older warriors. These warriors sought nothing more than a glorious death in battle. The Cluster is considered little better than planetary militia.[1] They were stationed on Marshall in 3061 and still in position in 3067.[2][3]

In 3079 the Cluster was recalled to Roche, from here it moved to Waypoint 531, before continuing to the Umayyad Caliphate early 3080. As the solahma were left on Roche as a rearguard it seems strange that the Dragoons were included in this force, unless they had been rebuilt considerably after 3067.[4]
