==History==
The '''Sixteenth Assault Cluster''' was front line unit often deployed defensively.<ref name="FM:CrCp47">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 47</ref> Between [[3059]] and [[3067]] it was stationed on the world of [[Atreus (Clan System)|Atreus]].<ref name="FM:CrCp149">''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 149, "The Crusader Clans - Deployment Table"</ref><ref name="FM:Up70">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 70, "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref>
 
  
The ''[[Black Lion]]''-class battlecruiser ''[[Streaking Mist]]'' arrived at the Atreus system in early [[3072]]. The former flagship of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] launched two [[DropShip]]s containing a raiding party led by the [[Bandit Caste]] leader known as [[Russou Howell|The Jaguar]] and then proceeded to blockade the planet, destroying several merchant vessels in the following weeks. The Jaguar's forces began by landing near Firebase Gamma, destroying the defending Sixteenth Assault Cluster.<ref name="WORp138">''Wars of Reaving'', p. 138, "Death of a Kindraa"</ref>
