In [[2880]], Khan [[Josef Mannix]] commissioned a young aid, [[Star Colonel]] [[Samson McCloud]], to form a new [[Galaxy]], one that would eventually become [[Gamma_Galaxy_(Clan_Cloud_Cobra)|Gamma Galaxy]]. Four years later in [[2884]], [[Galaxy Commander]] McCloud was elected to the post of [[saKhan]], his new unit already at veteran status.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 34 - "Gamma Galaxy"</ref>

The Cloud Cobra ''[[touman]]'' also differed in that each Galaxy maintained their own reserve contingent. A scheme first instituted by Khan [[Samson McCloud]] in [[2894]], warriors assigned to each contingent fight among each other for the right to be the top reserve warrior.  This warrior had the honor of filling in the latest open spot in that Galaxy's ranks; those assigned to a second-line Galaxy reserve who earned the top honor could also wait for a position in a front-line galaxy's reserve to open.  Warriors were rotated between contingents to allow more opportunities for advancement, training hard in simulators and occasional live practices to keep their skills sharp.  The reserve contingents also performed logistical, technical and administrative duties for their parent unit, necessary tasks seen as honorable service in the name of the Way, and in dire need could be dragooned into combat-relate roles: augmenting technical crews, piloting [[combat vehicle]]s or fighting as conventional [[infantry]].  It is because of this reserve system that Cloud Cobra ''[[solahma]]'' units, those too old or unfit even for reserve assignment, lack any sort of advanced technology and operate strictly as infantry.  These units are assigned mainly garrison duty, with the honor of serving on the front-lines coming rarely.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 27</ref>
