History
Operation Revival
During Operation Revival Epsilon Galaxy was considered the weakest of Clan Wolf's five Galaxies due to the fact it was composed mostly of freeborns and those trueborns too old to continue their service in other units. Given second-rate equipment and assigned garrison duties, those times when the Galaxy was not completely ignored it was often blamed for any troubles to have befallen Clan Wolf, while any success if noticed was chalked up to luck.[1]
However Ulric Kerensky was far more lenient and understanding of Epsilon Galaxy during his service as senior Khan.[1] When it came time for Clan Wolf to increase its pace and be the first to reach Terra, Khan Kerensky utilized Epsilon Galaxy for the first time in front-line combat when the Dorbeng Garrison Cluster was used to simultaneously conquer two worlds, Bruben and Hermagor, during the Third Wave in June 3050.[2] This Cluster was used again along with the Green Keshik to conquer the strategically important world of New Oslo during the Fourth Wave in July.[3] During the Fifth Wave Epsilon Galaxy was far more active and conquered multiple worlds. In November 3051 the Choyer and Gurbeng Clusters took Cusset while the Green Keshik, Nega and Dorbeng Clusters secured Laurent.[4] Two months later in December Hainfeld, Karston and Wheel were taken, the first by the Green Keshik, Nega and Dorbeng Clusters, the second by Choyer and the third by Gurbeng.[5] Finally in April 3052 the Green Keshik and Dorbeng Cluster captured Ramsau, the last world conquered by Clan Wolf before the Battle of Tukayyid.[6]
3054
In 3054 Epsilon Galaxy disappeared from ComStar's analysis. The analysts just couldn't find the unit.[7]

Officers
In 3044 the Galaxy's commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Djuna Kerensky when an accident claimed her life. Her position was then given over to Galaxy Commander Anton Fetladral, who commanded the unit during Operation Revival. His aide-de-camp was Star Captain Bihur.[1]
In 3057 after the end of the Refusal War Epsilon Galaxy was commanded by Galaxy Commander Jared Ch'in.[8]
In 3145 the commanding officer is Galaxy Commander Nils Carns. His aide is Star Colonel Damon Ward.[9]
Tactics
The unusual composition of Epsilon Galaxy's Clusters came about following the capture of Star Colonel Vlad Dinour of Clan Goliath Scorpion in 3012, who brought with him his Clan's traditions of unique mixed Trinaries. The even number of 'Mech, Elemental and fighter Stars in each Trinary makes them ideal for defensive operations while still providing a potent offensive punch.[10]
