Unit Description
Omega Galaxy was a Clan Hell's Horses military formation formed in 3070 by Khan James Cobb.
History
Formation
Omega Galaxy was a product of Clan Hell's Horses' invasion of the Inner Sphere in 3070. The core of the Galaxy's troops were former Clan Wolf Warden warriors whom were stationed on the Periphery border as pirate hunters. Disdained by their parent Clan, Khan Cobb used the mistreated and grateful Wolf warriors as the core of needed additional Galaxy warriors.[1][2]
War with Wolves
The Horses sent the Omega Galaxy to claim worlds from the Wolves. Omega fought against Clan Wolf on various worlds, such as Crellacor, Butte Hold, Placida, and Rodigo, where the Galaxy distinguished itself in its fighting there. After the Hell's Horses' fighting efforts helped to end the Ice Hellion's invasion in 3072, two Clusters worth of troops were assigned as part of the Omega's composition.[3] These two Clusters consisted of former Clan Ice Hellion warriors. Despite these reinforcements Omega's component Clusters were woefully understrength, with the strongest unit at a mere third of its nominal strength.[4]
Republic Era
After the conclusion of the Word of Blake Jihad Omega was selected for an assault against the Clan Wolf Occupation Zone, its Clusters gathering on Bruben in preparation. However in 3081 two clusters from the Wolves Beta Galaxy struck first, both sides relatively evenly match, both utilizing almost identical tactics. The Hell's Horses and Wolves would fight each other for nearly a month, neither able to gain the advantage until the fighting on Kirchbach forced Beta to withdraw.[5]
By 3085 however Omega's component Clusters had rebuilt, nearly reaching half their nominal strength.[6]
Dark Age
Between 3094 and 3095 Omega Galaxy tested the Anat troop carrier for their Clan. During these tests elements of Omega landed on Botany Bay and destroyed a pirate base.[7]
By 3145 Omega Galaxy had received three Ranger Clusters. They were still stationed along the Periphery border, ostensibly to guard against attack by Clan Jade Falcon. The Falcons, however, hadn't raided the area in years. Instead Omega spent a great deal of time listening to representatives of the Republic of the Barrens. The small Periphery nation was being attacked by forces of the New Oberon Confederation. The Republic of the Barrens was pushing for Omega to take a more active role in defending their territory.[8]
Officers
As of 3085 Omega's overall commander was Galaxy Commander Stevic Hawker.[6]
In 3145 Omega Galaxy was commanded by Galaxy Commander Julian Vewas, with Star Colonel Earnest Amirault serving as her aide.[9]

Notes
It is unclear the exact composition of Omega galaxy since it was formed. It is not known if the original galaxy clusters were simply absorbed as a whole instead of being reformed as new formations. It is also unclear if newly arrived former Hellions had retained their original unit names.
