History

The Blood Spirits signed a deal with Clan Snow Raven in 2980 that saw large quantities of war material flow on to York, the last shipment used to create Omicron Galaxy arrived in 3010, [1] although it was still one of the first second line formation to be created in the Blood Spirit Touman. [2] In 3059 the Galaxy still held a record of never having lost a Trial of Possession against other Clans while defending. This exceptional record was a matter of pride to the unit and because of this their Galaxy Commander was enraged to be left out of the Burrock Absorption.[2]

The Galaxy was given the honour of retaking the Arcadia enclave from Clan Star Adder in 3066,[3] however the Adders faded at the assault refusing a pitched battle. After a year of such tactics Omicron was reinforced by Upsilon Galaxy. Together they managed to secure the enclave, but at the cost of weakening the York defenses. [4]

In 3069 the Galaxy was led by Khan Karianna Schmitt on Albion capturing several industrial complexes from Clan Star Adder.[5] The holdings on Albion came under several attacks between 3070 to 3072 by Adder forces. [6]

Officers

Between 3059 and 3067 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Josh Kemp.[2][7]

Tactics

Excelling at defense, the warriors of Omicron have learned to misdirect enemies about their locations and are capable of forcing their enemies onto unfavorable ground.[2]

Composition History

3059[2]

3067[7]

  • 21st Crimson Guards
  • 98th Crimson Guards
  • 171st Crimson Guards

Rules

Adept at moving their forces - each consecutive turn Omicron Galaxy wins the initiative they may move one unit last, ie. if they win the iniative for four turns they may move four units last. [8]

Notes

Because of Omicron's defensive nature and use of confusion on the battlefield, it uses appropriate camo, with the shoulders and heads of its 'Mechs painted in a blood red which then has black triangles stenciled over the red. Red slashes on the legs represent kills credited to the pilot.[citation needed]
