Unit Description

The Seventy-fifth Falcon Striker Cluster was a frontline military formation in the Clan Jade Falcon touman.

History

FedCom Era

The Seventy-fifth Strikers would first appear with second-line Kappa Galaxy by 3067. The unit would help reinforce the Galaxy strength, which had not fared well in fighting three year earlier with the Lyrans in the Falcon Occupation Zone.[1]

Jihad

During the early Jihad in 3071, the Clan Ice Hellion conducted an incursion in the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone. However, the Seventy-fifth would be stationed out of the fighting with the Hellions, positioned on the Lyran Alliance border to guard from possible intrusions into their territory.[2]

Early Dark Age

By 3085, understrength to the point that normal reassignment of troops for Frontline Galaxies was rescheduled to allow the Seventy-fifth to rebuild itself on Waldorff.[3]

Late Dark Age

The unit would be reassigned to Omega Galaxy during the 3130s, where it would swear absolute loyalty to Khan Malvina Hazen.

The Seventy-fifth would be used to capture newly abandoned worlds in the 3140s, which were formerly part of Clan Wolf's occupation zone. During their efforts to claim worlds, the Cluster would maintained a heavy sortie rate, forcing the Bears units they encountered onto the defensive. However, the Strikers would be outmaneuvered by Clan Ghost Bear's Third Drakøns as they had attempted to gain more glory by taking Meacham from the Bears, but were forced to retreat due to dishonorable tactics.[4]
