History

The Cluster was destroyed fighting on Huntress in 3060, [1] fighting against 2nd Battalion, 1st Knights of the Inner Sphere [2] and 71st Light Horse Regiment, Eridani Light Horse [3]. Elements of the Cluster formed part of the Lootera garrison and elements of it defended the Field of Heroes and the Genetics Repository.[2] Other Stars were engaged in the Shikari jungle on the same day. [4] The Cluster also participated in the defence of the New Andery Training Base. [5]

On March 12th 3060 Taskforce Serpent landed on Huntress. The Seventy-first Light Horse Regiment made a combat drop, but had ended up scattered across northern Lootera. Elements landed on the Field of Heroes as were soon engaged by Clan warriors. Within a short space of time the Seventeenth Recon Battalion of the Eridani Light Horse had reached the Genetic Repository. The the Fourteenth Company approached it was met by Alpha and Bravo Stars of Trinary Battle. The fighting was swift and brutal sweeping the defenders aside.[6][7]
