History

Operation Revival

The 140th Striker fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave One

Wave Four

Wave Five

Tukayyid


The Dark Age

As a part of rebuilding Beta Galaxy the Dominion disbanded Delta Galaxy and assigned the 140th Striker Cluster to Beta, as well as moving the Eighteenth Battle Cluster from Rho Galaxy into Beta. Both Clusters were assigned to worlds close to New Oslo, one of the Hell's Horses worlds and a menacing reminder that whilst Beta might have had problems maintaining an extended campaign at that point, it was more than capable of tearing through a defending force.[1]

The bloody swath that Beta cut through the Blakists during the Jihad earned them not just a passage in the Remembrance but also a grim reputation in the eyes of the Dominion's neighbours; the Dominion was more than happy to use that reputation to its advantage, and in the early years after the Jihad Beta acted as a threat to Clan Wolf. While Beta Galaxy was half the size of the Wolves Alpha Galaxy, Beta was positioned within two jumps of the Wolf capital on Tamar and served as a clear reminder that Dominion was always ready to tear straight into the heart of the Wolf Occupation Zone. Despite the relatively small size of Beta Galaxy it was able to draw on the production of factories on both Alshain and Satalice, and any lack of mass on Beta's part was compensated for using cutting edge and sheer mass, with the weight of the Clusters within Beta increasing as the Galaxy rebuilt.[1]

By the mid-thirty-second century Beta Galaxy had been deployed to shield the Skandia Province of the Rasalhague Dominion from its location near the border of the Draconis Combine's Buckminster Prefecture. After the HPG blackout began Beta was the first front-line formation in the Dominion to begin receiving new equipment, including large quantities of battle armor produced on Mannedorf.[2]

In 3137 as Clan Wolf was abandoning their Occupation Zone Beta Galaxy was swiftly redeployed to capture a number of worlds that had been members of the former Free Rasalhague Republic. In a swift campaign the Fourteenth and Eighteenth Battle Clusters managed to seize Carse, Galuzzo, Jabuka and Quarell before the Eighteenth collided with the First Falcon Jaegers on La Grave.[2][3]

Officers

As of 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Boris Jorgensson, a sibmate of Khan Bjorn Jorgensson.[4] Jorgensson continued to command the 140th throughout the Jihad and up until at least as late as 3085.[5]

In 3145 the commanding officer of the Eighteenth was Star Colonel Rolf DelVillar.[6]

Tactics

The Cluster use intensive air strikes to soften an enemy up, while the Cluster's OmniMechs are always equipped with jump jets and are well-trained in orbital drops.[4]
