===Wars of Reaving===
The Sixty-seventh along with the rest of Delta Galaxy moved to [[Foster]] and laid siege to the [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] enclave there. Delta had slowly been devastating the industrial areas with long range artillery barrages from positions on the hills overlooking the area. In March [[3073]] Scorpion reinforcements landed on to the planet and led a flanking charge of Delta, quickly overrunning one artillery position. An air strike from the Sixty-seventh blunted the Scorpion attack destroying the [[16th Scorpion Dragoons (Clan Goliath Scorpion)|Sixteenth Scorpion Dragoons]] as the Coyotes retreated. The Sixty-seventh then turned and counterattacked the Scorpions. When the [[9th Strike (Clan Coyote)|Ninth]] and [[34th Strike (Clan Coyote)|Thirty-fourth Strike Clusters]] arrived, the Scorpions' Gamma Galaxy was crushed. By June 3073 Delta had pulled off planet.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124</ref>

The Sixty-seventh was part of the force that assaulted [[Vinton]] in August [[3073]] after months of hard fighting they withdrew in July 3074.<ref name=WoR130-1>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 130-131</ref> In December [[3074]] the [[Clan Steel Viper|Steel Vipers]] launched a massive assault on against Clan Coyote on [[Tamaron]] with six Galaxies and a large naval force. Delta Galaxy including the Sixty-seventh was part of the Coyote defending force. The Vipers made planetfall despite the fierce aerospace attacks. After a week fighting the Viper forces made for their objectives, several major factory complexes in the Apache Mountains before moving on to the capital. The fighting to defend the capital city saw Delta Galaxy and the Sixty-seventh destroyed.<ref name=WoR1423>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 142-143</ref>

Prior to 3050 a maximum of one-third of the Sixty-seventh’s forces may consist of light or medium ’Mechs. Due to the intimidating nature of the Cluster, any unit in single combat with them suffers a –1 penalty to Piloting Skill rolls while honorable combat is maintained.<ref name=otprt23/>
