History

Operation Revival

Gamma Galaxy was one of four Galaxies allocated by Clan Steel Viper to the invasion of the Inner Sphere, the others being Alpha, Beta and Zeta. Gamma Galaxy fought on Twycross and captured it during the invasion.[1]

Tukayyid

Gamma took massive losses on Tukayyid, firstly against the Sixth Division at Devil's Bath. Taking heavy losses it had to be rescued by Zeta Galaxy. Subsequently it moved against the fresh 321st and 401st Divisions. This time it was shattered holding the ComGuards at bay, it received over 60% casualties. [2] [3]

Post Invasion

The need to rebuild left Gamma out of most of the post-invasion Trials against the Jade Falcons, although subunits did fight on Parakoila and Trell I.[4]

Ejection from the Inner Sphere

Gamma took heavy losses against the Falcons during the Vipers' withdrawal from the Inner Sphere. These losses resulted in the 51st and 94th Clusters being merged.[5] After returning to the Clan Home Worlds the Galaxy settled into a garrison posting on Arcadia. [6]

Officers

Between 3061 and 3067 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander James Andrews.

Tactics

The individual Clusters combine and work well as a massed unit.
