Units of this Galaxy, sometimes as small as a single Trinary, were posted to [[WarShip]]s and supply bases throughout the [[Periphery]] during [[Operation Revival]]. === First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War === After the [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War]] erupted following an attack on [[Alshain]] by rogue elements of the [[Alshain Avengers]] [[brigade]] of the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] in [[3062]], [[Clan Hell's Horses]] launched an [[Clan_Hell%27s_Horses#The_Invasion|opportunistic invasion]] of the [[Clan Ghost Bear|Ghost Bear]] Occupation Zone<ref name="FM:Up60"/> in [[3063]]<ref name="FM:Up13">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 13, "Dragons, Dark and Dangerous"</ref> at the urging of the [[Khan]] of [[Clan Wolf]], [[Vladimir Ward]].<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60, "Overview"</ref> One of the casualties of this campaign was Kappa Galaxy's [[63rd Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-third Provisional Garrison Cluster]], which was stationed on the world of [[Goito]] when the Hell's Horses [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Gamma Galaxy]] struck. The Sixty-third took heavy enough damage that after the invasion was rebuffed the Sixty-third was disbanded and the surviving personnel and equipment used to help rebuild other damaged units.<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Kappa Galaxy"</ref> ===The Jihad=== ====Dyev==== After landing on [[Dyev]] during a wave of attacks against worlds in the Word of Blake Protectorate in July [[3076]],<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Kappa Galaxy found itself facing a Blakist counteroffensive in December when a task force breached the blockade of Ghost Bear and [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Raven]] ships in orbit and landed six Divisions of troops on the surface of Dyev. The Blakists landed around Trogport and the planetary capital, Novaya Mensk, before deploying outwards. Kappa Galaxy found itself fighting alongside [[Pi Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Pi Galaxy]] against the [[32nd Division (Word of Blake)|32nd Militia Division]] and the [[2nd New Earth Protectorate Militia Division|2nd New Earth]] and [[1st Zosma Protectorate Militia Division|1st Zosma Protectorate Militia Divisions]]; the Blakists used the fortifications built in previous years by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] to try and resist the Ghost Bear attack.<ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "A Time Of Cleansing"</ref> History records that the 32nd Militia Division was subsequently destroyed on Dyev before the end of 3076.<ref name="J:FRp126">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 126, "Word Of Blake Militia"</ref> ===Dark Age=== After the Jihad ended Kappa Galaxy was stationed along the Rasalhague Dominion's [[Periphery]] border.

Due to their highly-distributed assignments, the units of Kappa were not skilled in operations that required a Cluster or Galaxy. Instead they were much more comfortable with Trinary size operations.<ref>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 95</ref> ==Composition History== ===3061=== * [[4th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourth Bear Regulars]] * [[11th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Eleventh Provisional Garrison Cluster]] * [[14th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourteenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] * [[63rd Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-third Provisional Garrison Cluster]] === 3067 === * Fourth Bear Regulars<ref name="FM:Up78"/> * Eleventh Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name="FM:Up78"/> * Fourteenth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name="FM:Up78"/> ===3145=== * Fourth Bear Regulars<ref name=FM:3145p172/> * [[21st Phalanx (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twenty-first Phalanx]]<ref name=FM:3145p172/> * Fourteenth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=FM:3145p172/> * [[55th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fifty-fifth Provisional Garrison Cluster]]<ref name=FM:3145p172/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Warden Clans]]'' * ''[[Jihad: Final Reckoning]]'' * ''[[Jihad Hot Spots: Terra]]'' [[Category:Rasalhague Dominion Commands|Kappa Galaxy]]
