History
The 400th Assault Cluster was formed specifically to provide Alpha Galaxy with an assault unit. They originally fielded King Crabs and Highlanders, and were later re-equipped with Crossbows and other assault OmniMechs.[1]
Operation Revival
On the 21st of November 3051, the 400th Assault Cluster landed on Benfled and defeated the defending Narhal's Raiders in four hours of pitched battle, costing the mercenaries two thirds of their forces. During breaks in the fighting, the 400th reconfigured their OmniMechs to confuse the Raiders' estimates of their capabilities.[1]
Post Invasion
After Tukayyid, the 400th absorbed most of the survivors of the 250th Assault Cluster.
In November 3052, the 400th invaded Blair Atholl together with the Fourth Viper Guards. The two Clusters decimated the Jade Falcons' Eighty-Ninth Striker Cluster and forced the remnants of the Ninety-fourth Striker to retreat off world.
The 400th Assault and the Fourth Guards paired up again in September 3053 to invade Graus in search of a rumored Star League cache. There, they again faced the Eighty-ninth Striker, as well as the Fourth Falcon Velites. Despite taking heavy casualties, the Steel Viper forces succeeded in conquering the planet.
In 3054[2] the cluster was stationed on Blair Atholl along with the bulk of Gamma Galaxy and were still defending the planet in 3060.[3]
Ejection from the Inner Sphere
In 3061 during the Clan Steel Viper assault on the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone they were part of the fighting on Waldorff,[4] which ended with the ejection of Clan Steel Viper from the Occupation Zone.
Officers
In 3057, the Cluster was commanded by Star Colonel Kimberly Hoskins. As of 3061 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Liam Callaghan.[5]
