History[edit]

Operation REVIVAL[edit]

The commander of the 122nd Striker Cluster had failed to win any bids for the right to conduct a planetary assault during the opening waves of Operation REVIVAL.

Tukayyid[edit]

The 122nd Striker Cluster had been bid out of the initial batchall for the attack on the Dinju Heights. Instead Loremaster Edmund Hoyt had sent into the Tamo Mountains as scouts and by the third day of fighting they had passed within 30 km of Precentor Martial Focht's hidden command bunker, Tamo Bunker, under Mount Kline. The 122nd were prevented from discovering this complex through a swift assault by Adept Rita Brand under the cover of an ECM net, this attack destroyed the Gamma Light Supernova Star.[1][2]

The unit is not mentioned after the battle and it is presumed that it was either destroyed or posted to the Homeworlds.

  • The unit had 35 'Mechs and was composed of light stars.[1]
  • Although its parent unit is not stated the fact it was dropped from the attack on the Dinju Heights clearly places it within Alpha Galaxy as this was their operational area.
  • The Battle for Tamo scenario presented in the Tukayyid Sourcebook on page 38 is a "what if scenario" and not the actual battle.
