Beta was assigned the secondary target city of Port Racice. Staging a combat drop into the marshes of the Racice River Delta leading to the city, the divisions of the veteran [[Com Guards|Com Guard]] [[5th Army (ComStar)|Fifth Army]] used the advantages offered by the terrain and well-placed artillery fire to herd Beta Galaxy deeper into the treacherous marshes. Hit-and-run attacks by the [[367th Division (ComStar)|367th]], [[401st Division (ComStar)|401st]], and [[207th Division (ComStar)|207th Divisions]] drove the Jaguars further and further into the delta, slowing Beta's pace and giving the dug-in Com Guard units amply ambush opportunities while at the same time negating the Clans advantages of weapons range and superior [[Double Heat Sink|heat sink technology]]. Luring the Jaguars deeper and deeper into the marshes, the 207th Division eventually succeeded in surrounding Beta Galaxy's Command [[Star]], killing saKhan Weaver. With the death of Weaver shortly after [[Khan]] [[Lincoln Osis]]' apparent demise during [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Alpha Galaxy's]] push to the Dinju Heights, [[ilKhan]] [[Ulric Kerensky]] was forced to terminate the Jaguar campaign, the demoralized Beta Galaxy dutifully obeyed and withdrew to their [[DropShip]]s. <ref name=T-SJ>''Tukayyid'', pp. 29–38: "Campaign: Clan Smoke Jaguar"</ref> <ref name=CS-SJ>''ComStar'', pp. 69–70: "Battle of Tukayyid - Ace in the Hole"</ref> <ref name=WC-SJ>''Wolf Clan'', p. 47: "Days of Armageddon - Smoke Jaguar"</ref> <ref name=IC-SJ>''Invading Clans'', pp. 61–62: "Tukayyid: The Crucible"</ref> ===Post-Tukayyid=== [[File:Mikhail Ward.png|150px|right|thumb|Galaxy Commander Mikhail Ward ]] The Galaxy settled into a garrison position on the occupied worlds of [[Avon]], [[Schuyler]], [[Caripare]], [[Kiamba]] and [[Teniente]].<ref> 'Objective Raids'', p. 34</ref> The Galaxy built one of its main bases on Teniente that accommodated the [[267th Battle Cluster (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|267th Battle Cluster]], which engaged targets of opportunity on [[Pesht]] and [[Irece]].<ref> 'Objective Raids'', p. 65</ref> This base was a short-lived outpost on an otherwise [[Clan Nova Cat]] held world. ===Operation Bulldog=== At the time of [[Operation Bulldog]], Beta's commander Mikhail Ward was the in-theater commander of the entire [[Clan Smoke Jaguar Touman|Jaguar ''touman'']]. He and his Galaxy was gearing up for the renewal of the invasion of the Inner Sphere. The first wave of the assault caught the Jaguars off guard and the [[362nd Assault (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|362nd Assault Cluster]] was easily destroyed on [[Kiamba]].<ref name=TDR-15>''The Dragon Roars'', pp. 10–11, 15</ref> As events unfolded the two Guards Clusters fought defensive actions during the second wave before withdrawing to shore up the Jaguar position. This strategy did not please Khan Osis and Ward was relieved of theater command by August 3059. The 267th Battle Cluster was ordered to join [[Hang Mehta|Hang Mehta's]] force for a quick organized counterattack. Ward did not send the entire Cluster, although it was accompanied by Beta's entire naval assets. As the counteroffensive faltered the third wave was unleashed the [[2nd Jaguar Guards (Clan Smoke Jaguar)|Second Jaguar Guards]] were forced to retreat from [[Schuyler]], however Ward and the remaining warriors of the Galaxy were trapped without JumpShips on [[Outer Volta]] and wiped out after bitter and protracted fighting.<ref>''The Dragon Roar'', pp. 46, 58–59</ref><ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 41</ref> Elements of the Second Guards and the 267th Battle Cluster retreated with Hang Mehta to Huntress, where the last warriors of Beta Galaxy fell in battle.<ref> ''Era Report: 3062'', p. 62</ref> ====Wave One==== * [[Kiamba]] - May 3059, [[362nd Assault (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Operation Bulldog|Full Battle Report]] by the 362nd Assault Cluster ====Wave Two==== * [[Avon]] - June 3059, [[1st Jaguar Guards (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Wave Two|Full Battle Report]] by the First Jaguar Guards * [[Caripare]] - June 3059, [[2nd Jaguar Guards (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Wave Two|Full Battle Report]] by the Second Jaguar Guards ====Counterattack==== *[[Meinacos]] - July 3059, [[267th Battle Cluster (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Counterattack|Full Battle Report]] by the 267th Battle Cluster ====Wave Three==== * [[Schuyler]] - August 3059, [[2nd Jaguar Guards (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Wave Three|Full Battle Report]] by the Second Jaguar Guards * [[Outer Volta]] - August 3059, [[1st Jaguar Guards (Clan Smoke Jaguar)#Wave Three|Full Battle Report]] by the First Jaguar Guards ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Beta Galaxy''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Cordera Perez]]||304?
