'''Sigma Galaxy''' was formed in [[2858]] to garrison new worlds that were colonized as part of [[Clan Blood Spirit]]'s early expansion efforts. Garrisoned [[Foster]] until [[Clan Burrock]] raids on Blood Spirit transport routes forced the abandonment of the colony.<ref name=FMCRC34>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 34, "Sigma Provisional Galaxy Profile"</ref>

They won [[OmniMech]] technology for Clan Blood Spirit from [[Kindraa Smythe-Jewel]] of [[Clan Fire Mandrill]], but later developed amicable feelings for that Kindraa to such an extent that they requested permission to attack [[Clan Hell's Horses]] and [[Clan Coyote]] when they heard of Kindraa Smythe-Jewel's destruction at the hands of those two Clans in [[2872]]. When the Blood Spirit Khan refused the Galaxy almost revolted. <ref name=FMCRC34/>

In the [[3060]]'s the Galaxy supported Alpha Galaxy against the constant raids of [[Clan Star Adder]] against York, it appears that these raids reduced it in strength to a point were one of its Clusters was disbanded. <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 36-41 </ref> <ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 70 </ref>

During [[3069]] several Clusters stationed on York were moved to other holdings, presumably transferred to different Galaxies on a "Shell Game" of deceit. <ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 44</ref> It was probably during this period that the 88th Crimson Guards and the 158th Crimson Guards were transferred out of the Galaxy.

The Galaxy then joined with Omega and Zeta Galaxies on [[Circe]] in 3070. Here they were engaged by Star Adder forces who inflicted heavy casualties on all three Galaxies. <ref name=wor55>''The Wars of Reaving'', p.55 </ref>

In 3069 the Spirits rotated their Clusters between Galaxies, with Clusters moved one at a time from York to other holdings. <ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 44</ref> All three Clusters noted in 3067 must have been transferred from Sigma at this time as all three survived the destruction of the Galaxy.

Sigma Galaxy paints its units in blood red. A dark smoke color is applied to the arms and legs of BattleMechs, fading toward the torso. Armor and Aerospace use the fade from front to back.<ref name=FMCRC34/>
