Omicron Provisional Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)

Template:InfoBoxStateUnit


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.[7]

Officers

Between 3059 and 3067 the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Josh Kemp.[2][8]

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]

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]
