In [[3137]] the 666th attacked [[New Oslo]]. They faced the [[4th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourth Bear Regulars]]. When Elementals from the 666th killed the Fourth's commander, the Bears were enraged and inflicted heavy losses on the 666th Mechanized. After two weeks of fighting, the Horses withdrew.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 8</ref>

They fought the Kell Hounds on [[Timkovichi]] in [[3142]]. After the Hounds withdrew, the 666th sent a Binary to punish the population of a local village for hiding the withdrawing Hounds. This Binary (with three Points of [[Buraq]] battle armor) discovered a Kell Hound ambush and called in artillery fire to disrupt the mercenary unit. Most of the village was destroyed and the Hounds had to withdraw.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 6</ref>

By [[3145]] the Clusters of Beta Galaxy were deeply involved with the Mongol Doctrine. The 666th was the most obvious user of conspicuous violence to break the spirit of a foe. They were also present when [[Malvina Hazen]] called down orbital fire on [[Kell Hound]] units and several Beta Galaxy Clusters. The 666th didn't see the destruction of their fellow Galaxy members as a problem though, and they remained at her side. When she fell into a coma, the War Cluster formed part of the honor guard that escorted her to [[Sudeten]]. Shortly thereafter they were stationed on [[Derf]].<ref name=er3145p61>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 61</ref>

Instead they viewed their survival as a sign that they were truly favored by the Chinggis Khan, and they remained at her side.

As of [[3059]] to 3067 the commanding officer was [[Star Colonel]] [[Icobod Dwelley]].<ref name=FM:CRCp66/><ref name=FM:Up71/>

Star Colonel Domnall Seidman was the commander of the 666th Cluster in the late 3080's. He also proposed the [[Mongol Doctrine]]. The Khans of the Horses promoted him to the [[1st Horde Cluster (Clan Hell's Horses)|First Horde Cluster]] so he could test his theory.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 60</ref> He was succeeded by Star Colonel Marguerite Grimheald.<ref name=er3145p61/>

In the Dark Age, the 666th Cluster disregards ''zellbrigen'', bidding, and the Clan rules of engagement. When rolling random weights, the controlling player gets a +1 modifier for 'Mechs, but suffers a -1 modifier for vehicles. The 666th will also target facilities that are usually off limits (hospitals, schools, etc.) if they believe that the facility has helped their opponent.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 165</ref>
