The newest of the Crimson Guards, they formed in 3051.[1] They were part of the force assigned to retake the Arcadia enclave from Clan Star Adder in 3066,[2] In 3069 the Guards were led by Khan Karianna Schmitt on Albion capturing several industrial complexes from Clan Star Adder.[3] Then defended these holdings on Albion when they came under several attacks between 3070 to 3072 by Adder forces. [4] In early 3073 they took part in the assault on Eden against the Star Adder and Clan Hell's Horses enclaves, showing no mercy to the Adders in retribution for the bombardment of York, after the battle they were left on Eden as guards. [5] It is unclear if the Cluster later joined the rest of Omicron Galaxy for the disastrous fighting on Tokasha in mid 3074, [6] however they do not appear on the Blood Spirit roster after this date.
