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]
In early 3073 the Galaxy was equipped with four new ProtoMech Clusters and launched an assault on Eden against the Star Adder and Clan Hell's Horses enclaves, showing no mercy to the Adders in retribution for the bombardment of York. Leaving the 171st Crimson Guards on Eden the Galaxy moved to Arcadia to rendez-vous with saKhan Constans Cluff and the remnant of Omega Galaxy. When they made planet fall they found it a dead world, but were soon ordered to move to Albion. Here they fought and won a Trial of Possession with naval elements of Clan Cloud Cobra for a passage to the planet. On reach the planet the Galaxy made a combat drop straight onto one of the Adder enclaves, which fell quickly. [7]
Officers
Between 3059 and 3067 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Josh Kemp.[2][8] In 3073 Darrin Keller was appointed Galaxy Commander. [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[8]
- 21st Crimson Guards
- 98th Crimson Guards
- 171st Crimson Guards
In early 3073 the Galaxy was equipped with an additional four new ProtoMech Clusters,[7] including:
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. [9]
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]
