History

Participated in the joint Coyote-Hell's Horses force that destroyed Kindraa Smythe-Jewel.[1]

In 3067 the 666th Mechanized is stationed on Tokasha.[2]

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.[3]

Officers

As of 3059 to 3067 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Icobod Dwelley.[1][2]

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 First Horde Cluster so he could test his theory.[4] He was succeeded by Star Colonel Marguerite Grimheald.[3]

Tactics

In the Dark Age they were specialists in the Mongol Doctrine's tactics.

Game Rules

3145

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.[5]
