Zeta Galaxy (Clan Ice Hellion)
Contents
Brief Description
Zeta Galaxy was a Clan Ice Hellion garrison formation charged with protecting facilities on Hector.[1]
History
Formed prior to 2959, Zeta Galaxy earned its reputation and nickname by protecting military and civilian facilities on the Ice Hellion homeworld, a fact which lessens the blow when ageing warriors are assigned to the unit.
In 3070 the Galaxy move to Nouveaux Paris, arriving in September. Here it began preparations for the Hellion assault on the Inner Sphere, along with Alpha Galaxy, Beta Galaxy, and Delta Galaxy. By October all the forces were in place for the operation to commence.[2]
The Galaxy along with Beta formed the Hellion secondary force under saKhan Conner Rood tasked with securing the Periphery border. The force captured Anywhere, Somerset, Erewhon, Bone Norman, and Lackhove.[3]
In September 3071 Zeta attacked Wotan and in October captured Gotterdammerung and Here. In November elements of the Galaxy pulled off Apollo.
Elements of the Galaxy on Here are destroyed by Clan Hell's Horses in December 3071. The Third Hector Cavaliers on on Gotterdammerung managed to retreat.[4]
Officers
As of 3059 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Curtis. A Trueborn who never earned a Bloodname, only his devotion to the Clan has prevented him from ending his life out of shame.[5]
Tactics
With its equipment either out-of-date or dilapidated by Clan standards, Zeta employs hit-and-run and harassment tactics in order to survive.
