History

The Cluster lost one Trinary of infantry to a raid by Clan Wolf in 3056 and not recovered by 3061.[1]

In June 3073 the 167th Fang was part of the defending Steel Viper for on Foster when Beta Galaxy of Clan Goliath Scorpion assaulted the planet. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions granted Safcon. The trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Viper's commanding officer by an abtakha warrior of the Twenty-second Uhlans sparked all out fighting with no quarter given. The Vipers declared the Scorpion warriors Dezgra and attacked all out in reply the Scorpions orbitally bombarded the Vipers destroying them. [2]

Officers

Karol Breen was promoted to Star Colonel in 3058.[1]

The Galaxy commander had given the order to the Star Colonel of the Cluster in the late 3050s to use all opportunities to secure victory. This included urban warfare, traps and other dirty Inner Sphere tactics. [1]
