History[edit]
The Sixty-ninth Dragoon Cluster was a former Clan Burrock unit known as the Fifteenth Rapier Cluster.[1].
Clan Burrock[edit]
The Fifteenth Rapier Cluster, were part of Clan Burrock's Beta Galaxy.[2] They fought against the Wolf Clan's Third Battle Cluster in the Trial of Refusal Ulric Kerensky demanded against the Grand Council and the authorization for Operation REVIVAL. They fought alongside the Fourth Jaguar Dragoons of Clan Smoke Jaguar. During that Trial, the Cluster was led by Khan Jocelyn Siddiq.[3]
Clan Star Adder[edit]
The Star Adder leaders chose to use them as a Dragoon unit, their light equipment giving them the flexibility that they needed for their new task.[1]

Rather than use hit and run tactics, they would continue to push through defenses, preferring moving forward more than falling back and regrouping. Their attacks bled many opposing forces dry before they realized their mistake.[2]
As a rather unique specialty the warriors of the cluster used Light and Medium 'Mechs for brawling. The unit showed a preference to urban combat and engagement in limited areas.[1]
