The units of Omega Galaxy fought [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] troops on [[Schuyler]] and [[Meilen]] and then faced off against [[Clan Nova Cat]] forces on [[Yamarovka]], location of the last of the surviving Alshain Avengers. Before Omega could engage the Avengers the rogue DCMS unit was destroyed by the Nova Cat's [[Zeta Provisional Galaxy (Clan Nova Cat)|Zeta Galaxy]], which then retreated offworld before offering even token resistance to the Ghost Bears.<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Omega Galaxy (The Raging Bears)"</ref> − − === The Jihad === − ==== Luthien ==== − Having been formed and trained specifically to fight Inner Sphere opponents, Omega was ideally suited for fighting the [[Word of Blake]]. As a consequence the 139th and the other [[Cluster]]s within Omega Galaxy saw some of the heaviest fighting of the [[Jihad]], working alongside the Ghost Bear [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Alpha Galaxy]] throughout the conflict. The first campaign Omega was involved in was the assault on [[Luthien]];<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Omega Galaxy"</ref> in December [[3074]], the Alpha, Omega and [[Rho Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Rho Galaxies]] of [[Clan Ghost Bear]] swept onto Luthien, intent on wiping out all Blakist forces.<ref name=JTPL7-Alpha>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Alpha Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL7-Omega>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Omega Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL7-Rho>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Rho Galaxy [Clan Ghost Bear]"</ref><ref name=JTPL-11>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 11, "Damnation"</ref><ref name="FR:Cp9R">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Rho Galaxy"</ref> Omega expected to face Blakist forces but instead found itself attacked by the [[Sixth Benjamin Regulars|Sixth Benjamin]] and [[Fortieth Dieron Regulars]], [[regiment]]s loyal to the ''[[Kokuryu-kai]]'' or [[Black Dragon Society]]. Although Omega Galaxy devastated both rebel formations, [[Galaxy Commander]] Ortiz had to compensate for her malcontent warriors, who wanted to concentrate on the Blakist forces.<ref name=JTPL_7_OG>''Jihad Turning Points: Luthien'', p. 7, "Omega Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)"</ref> − − The 139th and the other Ghost Bear forces fighting on Luthien never once offered ''[[zellbrigen]]'' to any of the Word units and effectively eradicated the Word forces on Luthien by the 20th of December. Very few survivors from the Word of Blake managed to flee or become captives, and the Ghost Bear forces destroyed any DCMS forces that attempted to interfere in the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word.<ref name="JHS3076p55">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 55, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp53">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 53, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> As suddenly as they had arrived, the Ghost Bear forces left Luthien at the end of January, leaving the DCMS to frantically redeploy forces to fortify the world; the relief units began arriving two weeks later on the 14th of February, only to find no sign of any Blakist troops in the wake of the Ghost Bear withdrawal.<ref name="J:FRp53"/><ref name="JHS:Tp14">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 14, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref> The destruction of the [[Forty-second Shadow Division]] on Luthien at the hands of the three galaxies of Ghost Bear troops represented the first instance of a [[Shadow Division]] being destroyed completely.<ref name="J:FRp125">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 125, "Shadow Divisions"</ref> − − ==== Kaus Borealis ==== − After Luthien Omega Galaxy formed a part of the Ghost Bear campaign designated as Alpha Wave, continuing to operate alongside Alpha Galaxy.<ref name="FR:Cp9"/> In late August [[3075]] Alpha Wave launched a campaign to liberate [[Kaus Borealis]], again ignoring all hails from Draconis Combine forces. In mid-September the allied coalition leader [[Devlin Stone]] traveled to Kaus Borealis with a small diplomatic party to meet with Clan Ghost Bear and attempt to enlist their support for the coalition. On the 21st of September, the Ghost Bears agreed to assist the coalition, and soon launched another wave of attacks against nearby worlds occupied by the Blakists.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> − − ==== Dyev ==== − After landing on [[Dyev]] alongside Alpha and [[Pi Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Pi Galaxies]]<ref name="FR:Cp10">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 10, "Pi Galaxy"</ref> during a wave of attacks against worlds in the Word of Blake Protectorate in July [[3076]],<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Omega Galaxy found itself facing a Blakist counteroffensive in December when a task force breached the blockade of Ghost Bear and [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Raven]] ships in orbit and landed six Divisions of troops on the surface of Dyev. The Blakists landed around Trogport and the planetary capital, Novaya Mensk, before deploying outwards. Omega Galaxy found itself fighting alongside Alpha Galaxy against the [[Twenty-eighth Division (Word of Blake)|Twenty-eighth Militia Division]] and the [[Third Byrant Protectorate Militia Division|Third Bryant]] and [[First Lipton Protectorate Militia Divisions]]; the Blakists used the Tupik Chasm and various mining tunnel complexes that connected to the chasm as fortifications to try and resist the Ghost Bear attack.<ref>''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "A Time Of Cleansing"</ref> − − ==== Dieron ==== − In [[3077]], Alpha,<ref name="FR:Cp9A">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Alpha Galaxy"</ref> [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta]],<ref name="FR:Cp9B">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Beta Galaxy"</ref> Rho<ref name="FR:Cp9R"/> and Omega Galaxies launched an attack on [[Dieron]].<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Omega Galaxy"</ref> Dieron was a bloodbath for all the Ghost Bear Galaxies involved; when they landed on Dieron Omega had already been reduced to approximately half strength from fighting on Dyev and Khan Kabrinski initially held them back as a reserve unit, but Omega was involved in a horrific firefight around the Ghost Bear's main drop zone; Omega managed to hold off multiple Protectorate Militia units for a week despite their lack of numbers. Once Alpha reinforced Omega the Protectorate forces were destroyed. The campaign devastated Omega Galaxy, and both the [[Tenth Bear Cuirassiers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Bear Cuirassiers]] and the 139th Striker Cluster were destroyed.
