History

At the time of Operation BIRD DOG, Kappa Galaxy had begun moving to Luzerne to oversee the buildup of a major staging area for attacks into the Clan Ghost Bear Occupation Zone. When Allen's Animals landed, Kappa GCT took a keen interest in personally hunting them down, often bidding hard against its rivals, the Sixth Striker Cluster.[1]

After their initial losses to the raiders, the Clan Smoke Jaguar garrison moved to eliminate them. Sending out various hunter-killer groups, the Galaxy Command Trinary observed their prey, watching as the raiding party ran circles around the Fourth PGC. When fatigue looked to have caught up to the raiders, Galaxy Commander Perez made his move. Allen's Animals walked right into the claws of the Commnand Unit in the second of June 3059. Only a handful got away safely, and The Animals found themselves scattered across the countryside after the storm, effectively stalling the Animal's raiding plan as they struggled to reunite.[2]

As the rest of the defending units in planet, the Fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster and Sixth Striker Cluster they tried to stop the Second Star League forces, made-up by the 208th ComStar Division and the 3rd Davion Guards RCT landing zones and forced them to scatter across the planet's surface.[3]

Jaguars forces hit all sides of Thün and overwhelmed the defenders. They breached the perimeter and destroying nearly three-quarters of the base's supply depot. Indeed, Thüne would have been overrun completely if not for the internal bickering between the Sixth Striker Cluster and the Kappa Galaxy Command Trinary. Those disputes over command of the defense of Luzerne ended though when Kappa Galaxy Commander Perez was killed during the diversionary attack at the Lawrence pass. With authority falling strictly to Star Colonel Kotare, both sides settled into a low-intensity siege as supplies dwindled.[4]

The unit was crushed with the rest of the defenders shortiy after the arrival of the Ryuken-roku.[5]
