There the entire unit faced the Wolves' [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]]. Theta's troops thought they could easily defeat the outnumbered Wolves and their bidding cut their attack forces down to dangerously low levels. When Theta landed, Beta Galaxy was able to outmaneuver the slow tanks and infantry used by Theta. Beta's actions forced Theta to break their bid and call down the entire Galaxy. Fortunately for Theta, Beta Galaxy was forced to ask for ''hegira'' to withdraw and deal with a problem on Kirchbach. This left Theta technically victorious, but at the cost of nearly half their forces. + After moving to the [[Inner Sphere]] Theta assaulted [[Liezen]] in the [[Clan Wolf]] Occupation Zone.
