==History==
=== Clan Invasion Era ===
'''Zeta Galaxy''' was one half of Turkina's Talons, the Jade Falcon's Homeworld defense force. After the [[Refusal War]] many of the warriors in Zeta were transferred to front-line units to quickly reconstitute destroyed units. After these transfers, Zeta's open positions were filled with freeborn warriors and new warriors who had just passed their [[Trial of Position]].<ref name=FM:CRCp109>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 109, "Zeta Galaxy"</ref>

The 74th Battle Cluster was reassigned to bolster Zeta Galaxy sometime prior to [[3067]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 49</ref>

=== The Dark Age ===
Perenially a [[Galaxy]] of the too-old and too-young, Zeta was forged into an effective fighting force by [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Aleksandr Hazen]] in time for the Jade Falcon assault on [[Skye]] in the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. It was noted that it was still a green unit tainted still by ''[[dezgra]]''.<ref>"Flight of The Falcon"p.14</ref> [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Beckett Malthus]] sent Zeta Galaxy in its entirety to raid [[Porrima]].<ref>"Flight of The Falcon"p.35</ref> Zeta Galaxy performed notably well on Skye, and continued to serve in the [[The Falcon's Reach|Falcon Reach]], supporting [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Alpha Galaxy]]. This meant that Zeta Galaxy saw less combat in the years between the attack on Skye and [[3145]], as Alpha Galaxy took on the majority of the combat actions; Zeta Galaxy only found itself called on to fight when directly attacked by forces from the [[Republic Remnant]] or [[Clan Wolf]].<ref name="FM:3145p156">''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 156, "Zeta Galaxy (Turkina's Beak)"</ref>
