Star Colonel Don Cooper was the commanding officer of Thirteenth Wolf Guard Battle Cluster during the late Dark Age era.[1][2][3]

History[edit]

Cooper, with the Thirteenth Wolf Guard Battle Cluster, was based on Alchiba as of 3145.[1]

In 3150, Clans Jade Falcon and Wolf were battling over the world of Skye. Galaxy Commander Noritomo Helmer was commanding the elite Jade Falcon 124th Striker Cluster when his 'Mech became trapped under a collapsing building. After the planet had fallen into Wolf hands, Noritomo was rescued alive and taken as bondsman by Don Cooper. The Star Colonel made Helmer abtakha shortly thereafter.[3]

Cooper remained in command of Thirteenth Wolf Guard Battle Cluster during the Battle of Terra in 3151, participating in the Wolves' Asian campaign, where his unit was ambushed during the first week of the invasion in Vietnam by the Tenth Republic Militia. His Cluster, against Cooper's orders, gave chase to the Tenth into the Vietnamese jungle in order to seek revenge for their losses. This only increased the Thirteenth's casualties, as they become lost and confused in the confines of the jungle, and were constantly subject to hit-and-run attacks until the survivors were able to escape.[2]

During the fighting against the Republic of the Sphere on Terra, Cooper fought alongside his former bondsman Noritomo Helmer, though Helmer was reassigned to Khan Alaric Ward's Silver Keshik prior to the ilClan Trial against his former Clan.[4]
