Like all Delta Galaxy units, the '''Seventeenth Scorpion Cuirassiers''' uses a mix of Elementals and Assault 'Mechs to defend its garrison. They favor designs that are fast and heavy, like the ''[[Cauldron-Born]]'' and ''[[Executioner]]''. The Cluster is considered to be the lead unit of Delta Galaxy.<ref name=FM:WCp114/>

=== Wars of Reaving ===
 
The Goliath Scorpions launched an attack on Brim in [[3072]], forgoing any attempt at issuing a ''[[batchall]]'' and instead simply dropping two of Delta Galaxy's Clusters directly onto one of the three remaining Snow Raven enclaves, which consisted of a city and a [[Sylph]] manufacturing factory. The warriors who landed were shocked to discover that the enclave wasn't in fact being protected by Snow Raven warriors, but rather a large Society force.<ref name="WORp95">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 95-96, "Sandbagging the Breach"</ref>
 
 
 
The Society force demanded a proper ''batchall'',  but their demands were ignored by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Lincoln Dinour]] and the resulting intense firefight spilled over into a nearby large terraforming research zone. During the battle several of the sealed tanks within the terraforming research area were pierced by stray shots, resulting in a devastating explosion that wiped out half the defending Society forces and the majority of the Goliath Scorpion forces on the ground, including the Seventeenth Cuirassiers.<ref name="WORp95"/>

The Seventeenth Scorpion Cuirassiers can use [[Overrun Combat]] and also reduce the targeting modifier for secondary targets by 1 point. If there are two branches of service on the field (Mechs, Infantry, AeroSpace, etc.) they get a 1 point Initiative bonus.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 183</ref>
