History

Beta Galaxy was frequently targeted by various Clans during the Harvest Wars, leading to constant attrition of its forces. This was compounded by a loss of morale when then-commander saKhan Sellen Cage lost his Trial of Grievance against Khan Asa Taney in 3065. Low morale continued to be a problem in the Galaxy until 3067 when its new Commander, saKhan Conner Rood actively worked to restore it.[1][2]

In 3070 the Galaxy move to Nouveaux Paris, arriving in September. Here it began preparations for the Hellion assault on the Inner Sphere, along with Alpha Galaxy, Delta Galaxy and Zeta Galaxy. By October all the forces were in place for the operation to commence.[3]

The Galaxy along with Zeta formed the Hellion secondary force under Conner Rood tasked with securing the Periphery border. The force captured Anywhere, Somerset, Erewhon, Bone Norman, and Lackhove. On Bone Norman the Falcon's 11th Provisional Garrison Cluster ambushed the 200th Assault Cluster almost killing the saKhan before the world was taken. However the counter attack by the Falcon Guards swiftly retook Bone Norman from Beta Galaxy.[4]

Beta Galaxy pushed on capturing Botany Bay, Von Strang’s World, and Apollo in a second wave of attacks.[5] In October Beta took Last Chance and recaptured Lackhove.[6] The Falcon counter attack by Gamma Galaxy hammered Beta. Offering no honourable combat because of Hellion actions on Wotan the Galaxy was pushed off Lackhove and Last Chance.[7] A Clan Hell's Horse's force destroyed the 121st Hellion Lancers on Toland in November 3071.[8]

Remnants of the Galaxy retreated from the Inner Sphere under command of saKhan Conner Rood in April 3072.[9]
