Traditionally the unit was commanded by the Goliath Scorpion [[Loremaster of Clan Goliath Scorpion|Loremaster]]. ==History== Gamma Galaxy was also known as "The Defenders of Moreau's Vision", and spent most of its time training to defend the various museums on Roche. In fact the Third Scorpion Cuirassiers were stationed within the main museum fortress at all times.

The Fourteenth Scorpion Grenadiers broke the defenders lines and swarmed through while the Mandrills performed a flank attack that ensured victory.<ref name="WORp62">''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 62</ref> In March of [[3073]] Gamma Galaxy landed on [[Foster]] in an attempt to relieve the siege of the Scorpion enclave of Pillar Prime. Kyrie Ben-Shimon led her Galaxy in a charge on the southern flank of the besieging Clan Coyote forces. The charge overwhelmed a Coyote artillery position but as the Galaxy pushed on the Sixteenth Scorpion Dragoons became exposed to air attack and took severe casualties. The Third Cuirassiers fought off the Coyote air units while the rest of the Galaxy pursued the retreating ground forces. The Coyotes fell back to a terrain of broken forest where they turned to face their pursuers. Close quarter fighting broke out and the Coyotes were reinforced by ProtoMechs and BattleMechs of two additional Clusters. Slowly Gamma Galaxy was whittled down until it found itself overwhelmed. Kyrie Ben-Shimon was killed and the Galaxy was forced to retreat off planet with terrible loss.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 124: "Scorpion Gambit"</ref> The remnant of the Galaxy together with Beta Galaxy and the bulk of the Clan's fleet were ordered back to Foster in June 3073, however they found it empty except for Clan Steel Viper. A Trial of Possession was launched for two of the Viper holdings and the Scorpions granted ''[[safcon]]''. The trials were fought honorably, but the killing of the Vipers' commanding officer sparked all-out fighting with no quarter given. The Third Cuirassiers supported the First Cateran Cluster in the assault on Firebase Nu. The battle ended when the Scorpions called in orbital bombardment against the Viper positions.<ref name=WoR124/> In the aftermath of the fighting on Foster the shattered remnant of Gamma Galaxy was merged into Beta Galaxy.<ref name=WoR125>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 125: "Scorpion Gambit"</ref> ==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 Gamma Galaxy''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Shaum Djerassi]]||[[3061]]<ref name=FMWCp113>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 113: "Gamma Galaxy Profile"</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Kyrie Ben-Shimon]]||[[3067]] - March [[3073]]<ref name=FM:Up78>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 78: "Warden Clans Deployment Table"</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Colin Yeh]]||3073<ref name=WoR124/> |- |} ==Tactics== As a defensive unit, Gamma Galaxy's units tried to flank enemy units and force them into areas that were lined with Elemental units.
