History[edit]
The Eighth Provisional Garrison Cluster was the garrison on Trell I when Clan Steel Viper's Fifty-first Battle Cluster landed in April 3053 to claim the planet.[1][2]
The Eighth ambushed the Viper force in a network of caves known as the Smuggler's Maze. Despite being outgunned, the Eighth managed to stretch the fight out to four days before capitulating.[1][2]
During the Refusal War, the Eighth Provisional Garrison Cluster was stationed on Butler as that was where the Falcons assumed Clan Wolf would attack. This later proved incorrect, so they were out of position.[3]
In 3059, the Eighth was deployed on Götterdämmerung and Lackhove.[4]
The unit was part of Kappa Galaxy in 3067 and garrisoned Goat Path.[5]
After the Jihad in 3079, the unit was deployed to Blue Hole[6] and garrisoned Baker 3 in 3085.[7]
During the Dark Age, the Eighth was stationed on Dustball.[8]
