Galaxy Commander Michael Hawkins was the commanding officer of Rho Galaxy during the Clan Ghost Bear assault on Word of Blake units on Luthien in 3074.[1][2]

History

Clan Invasion

During Operation Revival in 3052, the then Star Colonel Hawkins was the Aide de Camp to Khan Bjorn Jorgensson, as part of Ourse Keshik.[3]

Galaxy Command

By July 3067 Hawkins had been promoted to Galaxy Commander, and command of Rho Galaxy (Rasalhague Dominion) (Bear Essentials), and its Trinary Galaxy Command.[4]

Battle of Luthien

Hawkins was still commanding Rho Galaxy when it arrived on Luthien on 21 December 3074, to participate in the Battle of Luthien (3067)|Battle of Luthien]], during the Word of Blake Jihad. During the Second Battle of the Takashi Memorial Spaceport, the Galaxy hot-dropped over the 32nd Division's positions, resulting in 75% casualties to the Blakists in the initial assault and the execution of the remaining survivors in the aftermath.[2]

Battle of Dieron

In 3077, Hawkins led Rho Galaxy when it traveled to Dieron, and served as the main reserve force for the Ghost Bears. Rho saw little combat for the first month; their only opponent was the Eighth Dieron Regulars which fought with the members of the Galaxy over Word of Blake prisoners. Shortly thereafter the Blakist Third Division attacked Rho Galaxy and killed most of their higher level commanders. Cast into confusion, Rho Galaxy counterattacked without any plan or coordination with other Ghost Bear or Combine units, which allowed the Second and Third Divisions to withdraw from Dieron.[5]
