'''Delta Galaxy''' is the premiere second line unit of the [[Clan Hell's Horses Touman|Hell's Horses ''touman'']].

==History==
Delta Galaxy was originally created from warriors absorbed into the Clan during the campaign for [[Eden]]. Shortly after it formed, Delta faced nearly every Clan and defeated them in defensive engagements. The unit is filled with warriors who just barely missed an opening in a front-line unit. The unit is treated with much more respect than most second line Galaxies, receiving the best equipment. Many times a Hell's Horses Khan will draw upon the skilled warriors of Delta to make up losses in front-line units. <ref name=FM:CRCp68>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 68, "Delta Galaxy Profile"</ref>

After the destruction of [[Clan Smoke Jaguar]] Delta secured [[Kirin]] for the Horses and then went on to win [[ProtoMech]] technology on [[Huntress]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 45</ref>

The Lightning Riders would secure [[Paulus Prime]] in [[3070]], then rebuild their forces. In [[3071]] and [[3072]] Delta went on to strike at [[The Edge]], [[New Oslo]] (defeating the [[2nd Wolf Lancers (Clan Wolf)|2nd Wolf Lancers Cluster]]), [[Liezen]] (defeating the [[101st Battle (Clan Wolf)|101st Battle Cluster]]), [[Unzmarkt]], and finally it would establish a foothold on [[Hohenems]]. After all this, the Lightning Riders returned to New Oslo to rebuild.<ref>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 12</ref>

After the Wolf Clan relocated across the [[Inner Sphere]], Delta Galaxy activated several contingency plans and took multiple systems formerly held by the Wolves. The aerospace facilities on [[Dell]] and [[Zoetermeer]] were among the first to fall, but the Eighty-second Mechanized Cavalry and Fourth Horde Cluster took [[Vulcan (system)|Vulcan]] and [[Laurent]] from [[Clan Jade Falcon]] forces.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 154</ref>
