Omega Galaxy (Clan Diamond Shark)

Revision as of 10:15, 4 December 2012 by Mbear (talk | contribs) (Added info from Field Manual: Warden Clans)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit Clan Diamond Shark's Omega Galaxy had the strongest ties to the Clans' Merchant Caste.[1]

History

Accompanied Alpha and Gamma Galaxies to the Inner Sphere during Operation Revival. One Cluster was lost on Tukayyid while extracting the remnants of Alpha and Gamma, while two more were destroyed when Clan Ghost Bear retook the staging world of Nyserta.[1]

Omega was rebuilt with reserve warriors, which has hurt its quality ratings.[1]

Once the Diamond Sharks had acquired their trading worlds in the Inner Sphere, elements of Omega Galaxy were assigned as the garrison forces. This lead to an interesting dichotomy: The Omega Galaxy units were assigned to represent the Merchant Caste's interests above others, while any other Diamond Shark unit on the worlds were to represent the Warrior Caste's interests.[2] The Coral Skate and 101st Strike Cluster garrisoned Trondheim, while the 35th Cruiser Cluster and 57th Combined Assault Cluster garrisoned Itabaiana. The 17th Air Assault Cluster was stationed on the WarShip Devourer and shuttled between various Diamond Shark holdings.[3]

During the Jihad Omega Galaxy was performed for garrison duties on Trondheim and Itabaiana.[4]

Officers

As of 3061 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Blake Hawker.[1] He was still in command in 3067.[3]

Tactics

Tend to use alpha strikes, ignoring heat levels.[1]
