Little is known about the command. The unit was expanded after the fighting on [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]]. Now they include Supernovas, which give the commander more flexibility against the foes of the Adders in the future.<ref name=FMCRC123/>

===The Wars of Reaving===
 
[[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Alpha]] and [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Beta]] Galaxies had followed Clan Burrock's [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Burrock)|Zeta Galaxy]] to [[Nouveaux Paris]] in early 3074. The Burrock defenders had just pushed the Clan Hell's Horses [[Eta Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Eta Galaxy]] off planet. The Star Adders made a combat drop on top of the Burrock defenders. The [[18th Warren (Clan Burrock)|Eighteenth Warren Cluster]] attempted to ambush the Eighty-fifth Adder Cavaliers close to a large copper quarry, but were themselves caught as the Cavaliers pinned the Burrocks in place as a [[Binary]] of aerospace fighters from the [[10th Armored Cavalry (Clan Star Adder)|Tenth Armored Cavalry]] bombed their exposed positions along the roadway leading to the quarry; the Eighteenth died to a warrior. The Adders were later forced to retreat from the planet when the Burrocks threatened to destroy their grounded DropShips.<ref name=wor121>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 121</ref>

The unit can fight in any terrain and prefers longer engagements, because of their heavy equipment. Most battles follow a two-step plan. First the fighter soften the opponent up and then the heavy/assault 'Mechs deliver the final blow.<ref name=FMCRC123>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 123</ref>
