History
The Great Refusal
As part of Alpha Galaxy the First Raven Phalanx was in the front line when the Snow Ravens launched Trials for the former Clan Smoke Jaguar holdings on Homer in September 3060. The Phalanx's single 'Mech Trinary was the first Snow Raven unit to land on Homer, where it launched an immediate Trial of Refusal against the Clan Steel Viper units trying to seize Firebase Hermes. In winning the Trial, the Phalanx gave Alpha Galaxy a base for further operations across the planet.[1]
The Dark Age
In the mid-3140s the First and the other elements within Alpha Galaxy replaced Beta Galaxy in the systems obtained from the Draconis Combine following the Palmyra Debacle. Viewed as being given Beta Galaxy's leavings, the assignment went poorly for the First, particularly following Alpha Galaxy's earlier embarrassing defeats. Accustomed to displaying a highbrow attitude towards the population of the Raven Alliance, the First's attempts to take the same approach with the population of Sinope resulted in a combination of violent protests and industrial strikes. The inhabitants of Sinope were convinced that it was only a matter of time before the Combine reasserted control over the planet, and had no wish to be identified as collaborating with an enemy of the Dragon. Similar problems were rife on Bad News and Zalaf, and massacres were reported on all three worlds, with all of Alpha Galaxy ill-equipped to deal with civilian protests.[2]
Officers
As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Cain Harper.[3] Harper was still in command in 3067.[4] By3085 Star Colonel Gordon Howe was commanding the First.[5] In 3145 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Sergio Siegel.[6]

Unit Insignia
The unit insignia of the First was a charging Elemental, set in front of a golden star.[1]
