==History==
 
==History==
The '''Seventy-fourth Battle Cluster''' formed the core of [[Lambda Galaxy (Clan Jade Falcon)|Lambda Galaxy]] and was assigned to the [[Deep Periphery]] in [[3059]].<ref name=FMCCL107/><ref name=FMCCL154>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 154</ref>
 
 
In 3064 the Cluster attacked [[Graceland]] it had quickly taken out the [[Eleventh Donegal Guards]], and then turned on the [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[388th Division (ComStar)|388th Division]]. During the fighting [[Archer Christifori]]'s [[Archer's Avengers]] and sections of the [[20th Arcturan Guards]] landed to assist in the defense of planet. The additional troops managed to push the Falcons off world. <ref name=FCCW2>''FedCom Civil War'', p. 115, "Jade Falcon Incursion - Graceland"</ref>
 
 
By 3067 the Cluster had been transferred to Zeta Galaxy and was stationed on [[Lum]].<ref name="fmu73">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 73</ref>
 
 
In January [[3070]] the Steel Viper's [[Triasch Keshik (Clan Steel Viper)|Triasch Keshik]] assaulted the Falcon holdings on Strana Mechty and after only a few hours had destroyed every last Falcon warrior. The Clan council ruled that the holding was still Jade Falcon territory and a [[Star]] from the Seventy-fourth was sent to garrison it.<ref name=WoR47>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref>
 
  
By February [[3070]] the Vipers were assaulting Lum; after a short naval battle they landed their ground forces quickly destroying the bulk of the Seventy-fourth. Only the Star stationed on Strana Mechty survived from the Cluster.<ref name=WoR48>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 48</ref>
