History[edit]
The Eighth Cruiser Cluster developed from one of Clan Diamond Shark's first Elemental units.[1]
In December 3071 fighting between Clan Blood Spirit and Clan Coyote on Paxon spilled over into the Diamond Shark city of Thermopolis. During the fight over 600 Diamond Shark civilians lost their lives. The Eighty-third Combined Strike Cluster moved against the Blood Spirits to enact revenge, however during this assault the Coyotes slipped past them and captured their undefended firebase. The Eighth moved to support the Eighty-third, dropping a Binary behind the Coyote lines in a headhunter attack against their command staff. During a fierce three-way battle over two days the Eighth was destroyed.[2]
