On Twycross, the [[Trellshire Heavy Industries]] plant was destroyed in a nuclear explosion intended to both destroy the factory and the garrisoning [[Clan Diamond Shark]] forces from [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)|Gamma Galaxy]] who had been lured to the plant by a series of earlier explosions.<ref name="FM:3085p115">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 115: "Gamma Galaxy"</ref>

Each component of the cluster has their task. The fast 'Mechs, with a ground speed of at least 90 km/h, are used as storm troops.

At least the fighter provide air cover and ground support when needed to their comrades.<ref name=FMWC70>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'',  p. 70: "28th Cruiser Cluster Profile"</ref>
