History
Beginnings
Descended from Alpha Galaxy of the previous united Clan Wolf, Alpha Galaxy is an "Original" - one of the first Clan fighting units, and commanded by ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky during Operation Klondike, the liberation of the Pentagon Worlds.
Alpha Galaxy took part in the liberation of Eden, alongside Clans Smoke Jaguar, Jade Falcon and Hell's Horses.
Alpha Galaxy became the premier Galaxy in Clan Wolf, so highly regarded that even serving in one of its lesser sub-units bestowed honor on a warrior, and service with Alpha increased the chances of a warrior's genes being used in Sibko creation.
Operation Revival
Alpha Galaxy was one of five Galaxies used by Clan Wolf during the invasion of the Inner Sphere. Due to the nature of Clan warfare, Alpha Galaxy only fought as a complete unit four times during Operation Revival - at Tamar, Suk II and Bessarabia during the Fifth Wave, and on Tukayyid.
Elements of Alpha Galaxy fought in the following engagements during Operation Revival:
Periphery
First Wave
Second Wave
Third Wave
Fourth Wave
- Dell
- Radstadt (the battle that killed ilKhan Leo Showers)
- Svarstaad
- Vulcan
Fifth Wave
Tukayyid
Alpha Galaxy was deployed in full and were heavily involved. Commanded by Khan Natasha Kerensky, units of Alpha Galaxy completed the encirclement of Skupo, one of the Clan's assigned target cities, while other elements spearheaded the drive on Brzo, the other target city.

Jihad
During the invasion of Terra Alpha Galaxy was assigned to the assault of Mars.[1] Under General Andrew Redburn's command, they (and the Nova Cat's Alpha Galaxy dropped around ROM's Koryo Castle Brian. Their assignment was to capture one of the six airlocks that led into the base. Accessing the base quickly was critical, as the fighting on Terra had reduced their air cover.[2] Unfortunately the lack of air cover stalled the offensive several times, and the Coalition forces were forced to fight room to room for most of the base. Much of this work was done by Clan Elemental units. Finally after a month of brutal fighting, the Word of Blake commander surrendered to the Coalition.[3]
Officers
Notable commanders of Alpha Galaxy have included ilKhan Nicholas Kerensky and Khan Natasha Kerensky.
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Khan Phelan Kell.

Notes

- Alpha Galaxy warriors maintain uniform distinctions, wearing a strip of synthetic wolf fur over the left shoulder of their uniforms.
