The survivors of the Evciler campaign later jumped to [[Wotan]], where the Jade Falcon [[Khan]]s were located. By 10 December, just prior to landing on Wotan, the best of the garrison pilots from Tau Galaxy had been transferred to reinforce front-line units. Only two full Garrison Clusters were left, the Fifth Wolf Regulars and the First Cavalry; these were to be used as reinforcements.<ref name=BFW>''Bred for War''</ref> On Wotan they engaged the defending [[Gyrfalcon Galaxy]].

After the formation of the [[Wolf Empire]], Tau Galaxy was rebuilt with the graduating classes from [[Allison MechWarrior Institute]] and [[Lloyd Marik-Stanley Aerospace School]]. Practically every graduate from the [[3139]] through [[3142]] classes were assigned to Tau. These graduates still felt some loyalty to the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]], and were annoyed at having to be on the peaceful border with the Free Worlds League. Posting them to the Empire's [[Lyran Commonwealth]] border could've led to a diplomatic incident, so the Tau Galaxy soldiers remained on the League border.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 161</ref>
