==History==
 
==History==
The '''Fortieth Hellion Lancers''' was a [[Clan Ice Hellion]] unit and part of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Alpha Galaxy]].
 
  
In [[3067]] the Fortieth was stationed on the world of [[Hector (system)|Hector]].<ref name=FM:Up71>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 71: "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref>
 
 
In [[3070]] the Cluster moved to [[Nouveaux Paris]] with the rest of Alpha Galaxy, arriving in September.<ref name=WoR55-6>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 55–56</ref> Mid-[[3071]] saw Alpha together with [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Delta Galaxy]] and the newly arrived [[Zeta Prime Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Prime Galaxy]] form the primary attack force under [[Khan]] Montrose. This force moved against [[Clan Jade Falcon]] industrial worlds of the Falcon Occupation Zone, fighting in multiple systems.<ref name=WoR69>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 69</ref>
 
 
The exact fate of the Cluster is not recorded, but in [[3072]] Alpha Galaxy retreated to [[Vantaa]], here along with the remnant of [[Zeta Prime Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)|Zeta Prime Galaxy]] they were assaulted by [[Clan Jade Falcon|Clan Jade Falcon's]] [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha]] and [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta]] Galaxies as well as [[Clan Hell's Horses]]'s [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Iota Galaxy]]. The two understrength Hellion Galaxies took up a defensive position in an industrial complex, as the Hell's Horses advanced the Hellions called in an orbital bombardment from the ''[[Cage's Pride]]''. This tore apart the Horse front line but also shattered much of the industrial complex resulting in a toxic spillage of chemicals in the air. Alpha was left in a state of confusion when Khan Montrose was killed during a Falcon flank attack. The Galaxy, including the Fortieth, was effective destroyed by combat and toxic fumes.<ref name=WoR85>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 85</ref>
