50th Striker (Clan Ghost Bear)
Contents
History
Operation Revival
The Fiftieth Striker fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:
Wave Three
Wave Five
On Alshain the Fiftieth Striker Cluster assisted the First Bear Guards in their fight against the Sixth Alshain Regulars.[1] Prior to that event, however, the Fiftieth spent most of their time in the Fareer Canyons supporting the Third Bear Guards in their fight against the 2nd Sword of Light. The Sword of Light feigned a withdrawal, and the Fiftieth repositioned to assist the First Bear Guards. The two Clan units were able to force the Sixth Alshain Regulars out of the Polotmy Mountains, but were unable to prevent the Combine units from linking up and withdrawing off-world.[2]
Tukayyid
Fought the 308th Com Guard Division on the advance to Spanac.
Actually managed to enter the suburbs of Luk.
The Jihad
As a part of Alpha Galaxy the Fiftieth Strike Cluster saw some of the fiercest fighting in the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word of Blake during the Jihad. Alpha Galaxy was reliant on troops from lesser Galaxies being supplied as combat replacements to remain viable, and the Fiftieth was no exception; after heavily-fought engagements to liberate the Draconis Combine worlds of Luthien, Kaus Borealis and Dyev the Fiftieth was caught up in the Blakist counter-attack on Dyev[3] launched in mid-December 3076. Supported by WarShips and Pocket WarShips, the counter-attack saw a large naval engagement in the Dyev system[4][5][6] followed by the landing of six divisions of Blakist troops; amongst the forces deployed by the Blakists was the Twenty-eighth Militia Division[4] who heavily damaged the Fiftieth, inflicting damage beyond the point at which the Cluster was considered viable. The Fiftieth was disbanded, with the surviving warriors assigned as replacements to the other Clusters within Alpha Galaxy.[3]
Officers
As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Stephan Huntsig, who also commanded the 50th during Operation Revival.[7]
Tactics
The command can counter the actions of enemy formation with equal or superior reactions.[7]. The Cluster uses jump-capable 'Mechs and are experts at avoiding traps and ambushes.
