Experienced [[Star Commander]]s were transferred into this Galaxy and paired with new ''[[sibko]]'' graduates as advanced field instructors. Warriors who barely passed their Trial of Position were assigned to the 53rd BattleMech Cluster. They were then tested in a series of mock engagements, mostly defensive, and as their skills improved they would Trial to enter the 49th BattleMech Cluster. After serving in that unit, they would Trial again to move to the 42nd BattleMech Cluster. Once part of the 42nd, they could participate in Trials to enter front-line service. The process worked very well, allowing the Horses to quickly rebuild their commands.<ref name=FM:CCp72/> + After the loss of [[Tokasha]] to [[Clan Ghost Bear]], Theta Galaxy was formed to serve as a training unit to prepare troops for front-line service.
