History

Operation Revival

Wave Five

The Ninety-fourth Battle Cluster emerged victorious from a Trial of Possession against Clan Jade Falcon to win the right for Clan Steel Viper to attempt to retake Twycross from the Federated Commonwealth forces.[1]

The actual attack was undertaken by the 423rd Assault, 428th Assault and Ninety-Fourth Battle Clusters. Landing under the cover of the Diabolis sandstorms, the 423rd and 428th defeated the Tenth Lyran Guards RCT by using the Viper's Maw tactic, while the Ninety-fourth engaged the Ninth Federated Commonwealth RCT and forced them back to the spaceport.[1]

The battle was over in a matter of hours.

Tukayyid


Post Invasion

Attacked Jade Falcon forces on Trinity, initially winning, but were forced off world when reinforcements arrived.[2]

Ejection from the Inner Sphere

During the withdrawal from the Inner Sphere the Ninety-fourth took heavy casualties along with other clusters of Gamma Galaxy. This prompted the Khan to disband the Fifty-first Battle Cluster and reinforce the Ninety-fourth with the survivors.[3]

Officers

As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Ivan Sinclair, who had been in command since at least 3058.[2]

Tactics

The cluster is experienced in the use of the Viper's Maw tactic and can fight also in conjunction with the other cluster of the galaxy effectively.[2]
