History
Clan Goliath Scorpion
The Fourth Scorpion Uhlans were stationed on Tokasha[1] and led by a former Jade Falcon in 3059. Under her guidance the Fourth began modifying their zellbrigen to more closely resemble that of the Falcons. This allowed the unit to fight more effectively as a unit at the expense of some of the Scorpion's traditional individuality. Despite this change the Fourth was still able to function as a tenacious defense force that fought above its weight.[2] The Cluster was still garrisoning Tokasha in 3067.[3]
Tau Galaxy saw limited fighting in the Wars of Reaving remaining a defensive formation. It is likely that the Uhlans were still on Tokasha when Clan Stone Lion moved against the Scorpion holdings in 3079, before being recalled to Roche by the Khan. From here Tau Galaxy moved to Waypoint 531, before attacking Granada, the capital of the Umayyad Caliphate in January 3080. The world was captured within a week, but it saw the death of Galaxy Commander Evelyn Buhallin, the Uhlans' commander. [4]
