History[edit]

York[edit]

Prior to the evacuation of York in 3072, the 15th Armored Cavalry participating in fighting against Clan Blood Spirit on that world, during which they were responsible for testing and developing new tactics for use with the Adder's Corona heavy battle armor.[1]

Wars of Reaving[edit]

During the Wars of Reaving the unit attacked Circe in 3075.

The main Steel Viper enclave on Circe was Tash, which the forces from Clans Goliath Scorpion and Stone Lion drove towards, stalling short of the enclave itself. Clan Star Adder used the Fifteenth Armored Cavalry and the Seventy-third Adder Cavaliers to attack the eastern reaches of Tash, opening up a hole in the defenses that the Stone Lions exploited, hammering the Twenty-seventh and Thirty-first Iron Guards into the rear of the Steel Viper defenses, destroying the main Viper command bunker in the process. The Steel Vipers attempted to counterattack with the Thirty-eighth Phalanx, but the counterattack was driven back by heavy bombing and the Steel Vipers then found themselves pinned in place by the newly arrived Eighty-first Strike Cluster and the Golden Keshik of Clan Coyote, led by Khan Leo Koga in person.[2]
