Unit Brief[edit]

Unit Insignia[edit]

History[edit]

Ejection from York[edit]

The 2nd Raven had originally been assigned to defend the Snow Raven's enclave on York until it was pushed off by Clan Blood Spirit's Upsilon Provisional Galaxy in 3059. The unit's commander, Star Colonel Kelse Howe, was heavily criticized for being ejected from York and losing the enclave. However, she fought the duel with Upsilon's Galaxy Commander Hunter Lewis to save the Cluster from destruction. After receiving a prosthetic arm the Star Colonel was able to return to active duty.[2][3]

Later Years[edit]

Prior to losing contact with SLDF intelligence in Clan Space in 3068, it was reported that some of the Garrison Cluster was facing off against elements of Clan Goliath Scorpion's Chi Galaxy on Circe. One notable action reported was a Point of Chrysaor ProtoMechs defending against a group of Elemental Battle Armor. The Cluster's ProtoMechs were not initially able to inflict enough damage against the Elementals, who had taken up defensive positions. However, they fared well using the Chrysaor's speed to outmaneuver the Elementals and started to cut their force down. 2nd Raven's ProtoMechs pursued the damaged Elementals, unfortunately to be wiped out by a Griffin IIC from the 3rd Scorpion Seekers Cluster.[4]
