The '''279th Battle Cluster''' was a [[Cluster|military formation]] originally part of [[Clan Wolf]].  When the Clan was split apart following the [[Refusal War]], the remnants of the original 279th were merged to form the [[1st Wolf Legion (Clan Wolf-in-Exile)|1st Wolf Legion]].  The 279th would be reactivated again in the [[thirty-second century]].

====Battle for Rasalhague====
The 279th was part of the Clan's main attack force to take the capital world of the Free Rasalhague Republic, [[Rasalhague]] itself.  The unit landed in the jungles outside of city of Tyr on 8 July [[3050]], where it faced off with the [[1st Freemen (Free Rasalhague Republic)|First Freemen]] [[Regiment]]. The First Freemen had hoped to use to the jungle to their advantage, but the 279th's [[OmniMech]]s and [[Elemental (Battle Armor)|Elementals]] were able to move swiftly though the difficult terrain, forcing the regiment to fight with hit-and-run tactics in an attempt to overcome the 279th's forces.  Ultimately the Rasalhagians were forced back to defensive positions at the city limits which the 297th finally overran on the 13th, the same day the [[Elected Prince]] evacuated from the planet. The 279th along with the [[4th Wolf Guards (Clan Wolf)|Fourth Wolf Guard]] were then redeployed for the final assault of the capital city of Reykjavik.  On the 15th the combined Wolf units launched their attack on the city but the defenders, the [[Drakøns|1st Drakøn]], fought with intense ferocity and dragged the fighting into the streets of the city.  This apparent lack of concern for the city's citizens enraged the Wolves, who in kind showed no mercy to their opponents.  After two days of fighting, city was in ruins and Clan Wolf was victorious.<ref>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 36: Rasalhague: The Attack - 279th Battle Cluster actions in Trial to Possession for Rasalhague</ref>
