History
One of the first acts undertaken, after the arrival of the Scorpions, was the integration of the former Umayyad and Castilian forces into the Imperio Militar del Escorpión. Trials were held for willing warriors to earn a place within three new Clusters that were being formed for the newly created Omega Galaxy. The response from former troops was poor with barely two Clusters' worth of freeborn warriors. The Khans were forced to add solahma warriors as "advisors" to bulk the force out and give it some military order.[1]
In the next few decades, the high quality of freeborn warriors available in the Escorpión Imperio increased the number of troops available to Omega Galaxy. The constant defense against and retaliatory raids against pirates also honed their skills. By 3140 Omega Galaxy had six Clusters of highly skilled freeborn troops available.[2]
During the Imperio's attack on the Hanseatic League Omega Galaxy landed on Braunschweig and engaged Regional Defense Force 6. The resulting combat included a great deal of melee combat in addition to the normal fighting. After the dust had settled RDF6 was destroyed and Omega Galaxy had been shattered. Survivors claimed replacement BattleMechs from the on-world factory.[3]
In an unknown date prior to 3150, the Galaxy was led by Galaxy Commander Barin Myers. Due to a dispute about a 'Mech blueprints, he challenged Star Captain Emmy Line to a Trial of Refusal, wanting the destroy the files. But she killed him in a Circle of Equals and killed him, taking his place. That made her the first freeborn of the former Hansa to led a Galaxy.[4]
On 12 February 3151, Emmy lead a group of the Galaxy to engaged a group of pirates raiding Gateway. She faced the last pirate defeating it and capturing the pilot, which was her intention: meanwhile, his men had captured too the pirate DropShip, because they wanted the information the pirates and their ships may have, as they appear to come from the Inner Sphere.[5]
