History[edit]
As of 3061 the Seventh Phalanx was stationed on Casere alongside the Third Bear Regulars.[1]
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War[edit]
Despite being a second-line Galaxy, Theta Galaxy took an active part in the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War,[2] which began in 3062 with a suicidal attack by three regiments of the Alshain Avengers against Alshain.[3] As a part of Theta Galaxy, the Seventh Phalanx took part in the assault that captured Courchevel; after the War was resolved with a Trial, the various other contested or occupied worlds were returned to their prewar affiliations, but the Ghost Bears retained Courchevel as isorla.[2]
The Jihad[edit]
During the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word of Blake during the Jihad Theta Galaxy was assigned to Beta Wave,[4] which was led by Beta Galaxy.[5] After Beta Galaxy took heavy casualties during the attack on Ascella, an attack that began on the 6th of October 3075[6][7] and which went badly enough to be considered a debacle, the entire of Theta Galaxy - including the Seventh - was moved from a supporting role to an offensive role.[4]
Moore[edit]
The first attack launched by Theta Galaxy was against the world of Moore on the 21st of July 3076;[8][9] Theta performed poorly during the campaign, taking heavier losses than would be expected.[4]
Pike[edit]
Theta Galaxy assaulted Pike IV in September 3076;[8][9] while the attack on Moore had gone poorly, the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the Seventh, which was lost after elements of the Thirtieth Provisional Garrison Cluster refused to come to their assistance.[4]
