[[Galaxy Commander]] [[Benjamin Howell]] regarded this as absolutely inadequate, especially as it was one of the two [[Galaxy|Galaxies]] defending [[Huntress]]. As [[Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis]] was unwilling to help, and virtually all new matériel was needed to refresh the front-line units, Benjamin Howell set up an illegal scheme: he made connections with the scientist caste and was able to bolster his troops with [[Star League]]-[[Mech]]s, [[Clan]]-'Mech prototypes and [[Inner Sphere]]-'Mechs (originally designated to be studied by the scientist caste). He even single-handedly ordered the creation of additional ''[[sibko]]s'' and weapon research programs.<ref>''Exodus Road'', p. 202</ref> For these actions, he was later executed, but the Iron Guards remained upgraded.<ref>''Twilight of the Clans'', pp. 59–60</ref> When [[Russou Howell]] took command he also sought ways to improve the assets of the Galaxy, albeit in a slightly less underhand way.<ref>''Freebirth'', p. 118</ref> ===Task Force Serpent=== On 12 March 3060 the Galaxy engaged the assault troops of Task Force Serpent as they landed and pushed for their objectives.
