War of Reaving
Rho Galaxy deployed the Fourth Fang, the Fifth Legion and the 141st Phallanx to Eden to engaged the garrison of Clan Wolf during their Abjuration in 3071.

In the confusion Galaxy Commander Varga was killed along with half his force.[3]
Officers
In 3061 the Commanding Officer was Star Colonel Raj Gerard.[4]
