The '''Forty-fifth Striker Irregulars''' Cluster was one of the few Ice Hellion Clusters completely staffed by freeborn warriors. The only trueborn was their commanding officer, Star Colonel Karlotte. The warriors of the unit were determined to prove themselves, and they frequently fought on past the point other warriors would quit.<ref name=otprt24>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 24</ref>
The '''Forty-fifth Striker Irregulars''' Cluster was one of the few Ice Hellion Clusters completely staffed by freeborn warriors in [[3049]]. The only trueborn was their commanding officer, Star Colonel Karlotte. The warriors of the unit were determined to prove themselves, and they frequently fought on past the point other warriors would quit.<ref name=otprt24>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 24</ref>
 
  
During the Hellions' Fury campaign of [[3050]], the Forty-fifth landed on [[Hoard]] and challenged the [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[53rd BattleMech (Clan Hell's Horses)|Fifty-third BattleMech Cluster]]. The Forty-fifth landed in the middle of a Horse Circle of Equals, which promptly scattered and regrouped. Despite their early successes, the Fifty-third's new warriors were able to drive the Hellions from Hoard.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 37</ref>
+
In 3060 elements of the Forty-fifth were on [[Hoard]] and pursued the [[4th Garrison Cluster (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourth Garrison Cluster]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] during the [[Nova Cat Abjuration]]. They attacked by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] [[12th Mechanized Cavalry (Clan Hell's Horses))|12th Mechanized Cavalry Cluster]].<ref>''Path of Glory'', p. 3</ref>
  
In [[3060]] elements of the Forty-fifth were on [[Hoard]] and intervened in the [[1st Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|First Wolf Lancers]] pursuit the [[4th Provisional Garrison (Clan Nova Cat)|Fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] of [[Clan Nova Cat]] during the [[Nova Cat Abjuration]]. Attacking the Wolves and allowing the Nova Cats a chance to escape. It was not done for any friendship to the Nova Cats, but hatred for the Wolves.<ref>''Path of Glory'', p. 3</ref>

Despite their early successes, the Fifty-third's new warriors were able to drive the Hellions from Hoard.<ref>''Operational Turning Points: REVIVAL Trials'', p. 37</ref>
  
By [[3067]] the Forty-fifth was stationed on [[Barcella]].<ref name=FM:Up72>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 72: "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref> In [[3068]] the Irregulars were engaged in a [[Harvest Trial]] by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] on [[Hoard]], the Cluster was defeated and taken as ''isorla''.<ref name=WoR36>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 36</ref>
+
In 3067 the 45th is stationed on [[Barcella]].<ref name=FM:Up72>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 72, "Crusader Clans Deployment Table"</ref>
  
The Forty-fifth was evidently rebuilt by Clan Ice Hellion after the Harvest Trial, and deployed on [[Operation ICE STORM]], the Ice Hellion invasion of the Clan Jade Falcon Occupation Zone in [[3071]]. As the invasion faltered and the jade Falcons launched heavy counterattacks, the Forty-fifth found itself facing the [[Falcon Guards]] on [[Trellwan]] late in the year, and by January [[3072]] had been defeated and captured by the Falcons.<ref name="OISP2p55">''Operation ICE STORM Part Two: Winds of Spring'', pp. 55–56</ref>

In [[3050]] the commanding officer was Star Colonel Karlotte.<ref name=otprt24/>

As of [[3059]] to 3067 the commanding officer was [[Star Colonel]] [[Scott Moore]].<ref name=FM:CRCp86>''Field Manual Crusader Clans'', p. 86, "45th Striker Irregulars Profile" </ref><ref name=FM:Up72/>
In January [[3069]] they joined up with [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Alpha Galaxy]] on [[Niles (Clan System)|Niles]] to reinforce against a [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] assault. Their counterattack took back the industrial facilities.<ref name=WoR367>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 36–37</ref> The Cluster is not mentioned again and it appears that it was disbanded and the warriors were used as replacements in Alpha after the high losses suffered on [[Tranquil]] in 3068.{{cn}}
