Unit Brief[edit]
The 666th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster was a combined arms military formation of Clan Hell's Horses.
History Brief[edit]
Gold Century Era[edit]
Participated in the joint Coyote-Hell's Horses force that destroyed Kindraa Smythe-Jewel.[1]
Thirty-first Century[edit]
In 3067 the 666th Mechanized was stationed on Tokasha.[2]
Dark Age Era[edit]
In 3137 the 666th attacked New Oslo. They faced the Fourth Bear Regulars. When Elementals from the 666th killed the Fourth's commander, the Bears became enraged and inflicted heavy losses on the 666th Mechanized. After two weeks of fighting, the Horses withdrew.[3]
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.[4]
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 on the Battle of Timkovichi (3142). The 666th didn't see the destruction of their fellow Galaxy members as a problem though. Instead they viewed their survival as a sign that they were truly favored by the Chinggis Khan, 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.[5]

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.[9]
