==History==
The '''Eighth Recon Cluster''' was noted for being the lightest and fastest [[Cluster]] in the Coyote [[Touman]].<ref name=FM:WCp52/>

The Eighth fought against [[Clan Star Adder]]'s [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Gamma Galaxy]] on [[Brim]] in 3060, sustaining heavy losses.<ref name=FM:WCp52>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 52, "8th Recon Cluster Profile"</ref> After this action, it was stationed on [[Delios]].<ref name=FM:WCp162>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 162</ref> By 3067, it had moved to [[Londerholm]].<ref name=FM:Up76>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 76: "Clan Coyote Deployment Table"</ref>

The fate of the Eighth Recon Cluster is not recorded, although it appears to have been destroyed during the Wars of Reaving.<ref name=WoR165> ''The Wars of Reaving'', p.165 </ref> This most likely occurred in [[3071]], when the Coyotes had spread both Zeta and Nu Galaxies to take control of former Wolf holdings that had been passed to them. These had subsequently come under attack as the Wolves pulled out of Clan space.<ref name=WoR82> ''The Wars of Reaving'', p.82 </ref>
