History
Theta's component Clusters spent much of the thirtieth century guarding Ghost Bear manufacturing and technical facilities in the Clan Homeworlds and the Inner Sphere.[1]
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War
Despite being a second-line Galaxy, Theta Galaxy took an active part in the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War,[2] which began in 3062 with a suicidal attack by three regiments of the Alshain Avengers against Alshain.[3] Theta took part in the assault that captured Courchevel; after the War was resolved with a Trial, the various other contested or occupied worlds were returned to their pre-War affiliations, but the Ghost Bears retained Courchevel as isorla.[2]
The Jihad
During the Ghost Bear campaign against the Word of Blake during the Jihad Theta Galaxy was assigned to Beta Wave,[4] which was led by Beta Galaxy.[5] After Beta Galaxy took heavy casualties during the attack on Ascella, an attack that began on the 6th of October 3075[6][7] and which went badly enough to be considered a debacle, Theta Galaxy was moved from a supporting role to an offensive role.[4]
Moore
The first attack launched by Theta Galaxy was against the world of Moore on the 21st of July 3076;[8][9] Theta performed poorly during the campaign, taking heavier losses than would be expected.[4]
Pike
Theta Galaxy assaulted Pike IV in September 3076;[8][9] while the attack on Moore had gone poorly, the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the Seventh Phalanx, which was lost after elements of the Thirtieth Provisional Garrison Cluster refused to come to the assistance of the Seventh.[4]
Officers
As of 3061 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Gerrard Hambash,[1] and he remained in command of Theta until at least as late as the eve of the Jihad in 3067.[10]
In 3145 the galaxy was commanded by Galaxy Commander Timon Hall. His aide is Star Colonel Salvador Gurdel.[11]
Tactics
As Theta has been primarily used in defensive postings, they have developed defensive tactics. One favored trick is the "smash and grab," where a fast approaching enemy is lured into a the target area, then surrounded by Bear warriors. The 7th Phalanx was a relatively new addition to Theta in 3061, and had not been integrated with the rest of the Galaxy yet.[1]
