After the [[Refusal War]], the commanders of the understrength Epsilon and [[Phi Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Phi]] Galaxies were ordered to fight a [[Trial of Possession]] for command of the merged unit which retained the Epsilon designation due to that officer's victory.
 
After the [[Refusal War]], the commanders of the understrength Epsilon and [[Phi Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Phi]] Galaxies were ordered to fight a [[Trial of Possession]] for command of the merged unit which retained the Epsilon designation due to that officer's victory.
 
=== Dark Age ===
 
Led by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Diane Anu]], Epsilon Galaxy took part in an aggressive response to the [[Lyran Alliance]] invasion of [[Kikuyu]] and [[Newtown Square]] in [[3080]]. Epsilon was swiftly transported from its position on the border with the [[Clan Wolf]] salient into the Lyran Alliance - Epsilon being an intact and available frontline galaxy at the time - and redeployed in a swift campaign that saw Epsilon secure the worlds of [[Mogyorod]], [[Clermont]] and [[Machida]] quickly and without the Lyrans being able to muster any serious resistance.<ref name="FM:3085p117">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 117, "Epsilon Galaxy"</ref>
 
 
After [[saKhan]] [[Uvin Buhallin]] was killed on [[Graus]], Clan Jade Falcon elected Diane Anu as the new saKhan. The other candidate was [[Quinn Kerensky]].<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 177</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 118</ref> Diane's election was a moment of triumph for Epsilon, one made all the sweeter when Diane led the [[1st Falcon Jaegers (Clan Jade Falcon)|First Falcon Jaegers]] to [[Graus]] and defeated [[Rubinsky's Light Horse]], a unit [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Delta Galaxy]] had been unable to beat.<ref name="FM:3085p117"/> Diane was still serving as saKhan and leading Epsilon in [[3085]].<ref name="FM:3085p125">''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 125, "Epsilon Galaxy"</ref>
 
 
During the [[Clan Jade Falcon#A Rending of Falcons: Jade Falcon Civil War|Rending]], Epsilon Galaxy supported [[Jana Pryde]]; as a consequence, the Galaxy had to be completely rebuilt after [[Malvina Hazen]] took control of the Jade Falcons, with the sole exception being the First Falcon Jaegers. Epsilon managed to rebuild in time to invade the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone as the Wolves abandoned their holdings to move to the [[Free Worlds League]] border; the conquests made by Epsilon brought them into contact with the [[Rasalhague Dominion]], with mixed results. The First Falcon Jaegers scored a convincing victory on [[La Grave]] against the [[18th Battle (Clan Ghost Bear)|Eighteenth Battle Cluster]], the Jaegers' greater mobility allowing them to harass the Eighteenth until they had no option but to ask for ''[[hegira]]''. In contrast to the Jaegers' victory on La Grave, the [[8th Falcon Velites (Clan Jade Falcon)|Eighth Falcon Velites]] were forced to retreat from [[Thun]] by the [[Gunzburg Eagles]], who conducted multiple air attacks against the Velite's supply lines while hiding from direct combat.<ref name="FM:3145p156">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 156, "Epsilon Galaxy"</ref>
 
 
After the defeat on Thun Epsilon Galaxy was made responsible for guarding the supply lines between the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone and the [[Falcon's Reach]] in the face of repeated raids from [[Clan Wolf-in-Exile]]. With the exile Wolves weakened, Epsilon were keen to strike at and attempt to destroy them, but were stymied by the need to keep the supply lines open; a strike directly at the Wolves would have left the supply lines open to attack by the Rasalhague Dominion, an unacceptable result.<ref name="FM:3145p156"/>
