History

The 72nd Crimson Cuirassiers Cluster missed the Burrock Absorption together with the 112th Scarlet Battle Cluster due to a jump drive core leak on their JumpShip. With the destruction of Delta Galaxy, the Seventy-second was transferred to Alpha Galaxy.[1]

Alpha Galaxy and the Cuirassiers remained on the defensive on York, counterattacking where possible. Between 3059 and 3066 they saw almost constant fighting fending off raids by Clan Star Adder.[2]

In late 3069 Khan Schmitt led Alpha and Iota Galaxies against the Adders on Albion quickly capturing a Chrysaor ProtoMech factory and by the end of the year had secured 40% of the planet. The Khan then led Alpha against Clan Steel Viper's holdings on Arcadia and captured their Roc ProtoMech complex.[3] Alpha Galaxy and the Cuirassiers were involved in near constant fighting on York but by 3070 had reduced the Adder holdings to a single enclave.[4]
