History
Formation
The 69th PGC was created by Galaxy Commander Kedric Gilmour, who moved all of Omicron's AeroSpace assets into two Clusters. The 69th was highly skilled in combined arms and ground support operations. The large number of fighters often confused an enemy and in several cases ended a Trial before the enemy knew what happened. Though they preferred to attack grounded targets, the 69th was also capable of performing JumpShip escort duties and deep space strikes.[1] In 3061 they were stationed at Soverzene.[2] In 3067 the 69th PGC had moved into the Inner Sphere along with the rest of the Ghost Bears, and were stationed at Goito.[3]
Jihad
During the Jihad, the 69th Provisional Garrison Cluster deployed along with the 7th Bear Regulars in the assault to liberate the Draconis Combine world of Cebalrai in mid August 3075. On the 20th of August, as the Ghost Bear forces closed on the increasingly desperate Word of Blake defenders on the planet, the Blakists detonated a large neutron bomb which wiped out not only themselves but the 7th Bear Regular and the 69th Provisional Garrison Cluster as well; the blast also killed thousands of civilians.[4][5]
Officers
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Star Colonel William.[1] He was still in command in 3067.[3]
Tactics
The 69th prefers to attack grounded targets.[1]
