	'''Lambda Galaxy''' protected the lines of communication between the Clan Homeworlds and the Jade Falcon Occupation Zone. In 3059 the unit's vast area of responsibility prohibited it from developing any unit cohesion. Clusters (and sometimes Trinaries) of forces were assigned to protect convoys as they moved from the Homeworlds to the Occupation Zone. As a result, the Cluster commanders became adept at operating on their own.

The posting had two goals: First to deter the Horses from raiding and second to assist training new warriors at The Military Academy of Somerset. Eventually the Clan Khans discovered that Lambda's warriors were engaging in raids against the Horses. Worse, they were taking cadets from the Somerset Academy on these raids. They constantly clashed with the Horses' [[Omega Galaxy (Clan Hell's Horses)|Omega Galaxy]], and frequently acted in ways that showed their contempt for the Horses. This was a problem since the Falcons and Horses were working more closely together. Lambda was ordered to leave the Falcon/Horse border and redeploy to more interior systems to prevent more problems.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 157</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 Lambda Galaxy''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Joel Thastus]]||[[3059]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FMCRCp107/><ref name=fmu73>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 73</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Krishnamurthi Malthus]]||[[3085]]<ref name=fm3085p126/> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Tamara Faulk]]||[[3145]]-[[3151]]<ref name=FM:3145p169/><ref name="ilClanp54">''ilClan'', pp. 54-55</ref> |- |} ===Other Officers=== * [[Star Colonel]] [[Lejla Chistu]] served as Galaxy Commander Krishnamurthi Malthus's military aide.<ref name=fm3085p126/> * Star Colonel [[Oliver Icaza]] served as Galaxy Commander Tamara Faulk's military aide.<ref name=FM:3145p169>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 169: "Clan Force Deployments - Clan Jade Falcon"</ref> ==Tactics== Unknown. ==Support== * [[Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star]]<ref name=FMCRCp107/> ==Composition History== ===3059=== * [[22nd Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twenty-second Provisional Garrison Cluster]] * [[24th Provisional Garrison (Clan Jade Falcon)|Twenty-fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] * [[74th Battle (Clan Jade Falcon)|Seventy-fourth Battle]] * [[Lambda Solahma (Clan Jade Falcon)|Lambda ''Solahma'']] ===3067=== * [[Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star (Clan Jade Falcon)|Falcon Stoop Naval Attack Star]]<ref name=fmu73/> * Twenty-second Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=fmu73/> * Twenty-fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=fmu73/> * [[2nd Falcon Swoop (Clan Jade Falcon)|Second Falcon Swoop Cluster]]<ref name=fmu73/> * Lambda ''Solahma''<ref name=fmu73/> ===3079=== * Twenty-second Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=frc15>''Field Report: Clans'', p. 15</ref> * Twenty-fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=frc15/> * Second Falcon Swoop Cluster<ref name=frc15/> * Lambda ''Solahma''<ref name=frc15/> ===3085=== * Twenty-second Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=fm3085p126/> * Twenty-fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=fm3085p126/> * Second Falcon Swoop Cluster<ref name=fm3085p126/> * Lambda ''Solahma''<ref name=fm3085p126/> ===3145=== * Twenty-second Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=FM:3145p169/> * Twenty-fourth Provisional Garrison Cluster<ref name=FM:3145p169/> * Second Falcon Swoop Cluster<ref name=FM:3145p169/> * [[3rd Mixed (Clan Jade Falcon)|Third Mixed Cluster]]<ref name=FM:3145p169/> ==References== <references /> ==Bibliography== * ''[[A Different Hope]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3085]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: 3145]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Crusader Clans]]'' * ''[[Field Manual: Updates]]'' * ''[[Field Report: Clans]]'' * ''[[IlClan (sourcebook)]]'' * ''[[Technical Readout: 3085 Supplemental]]'' [[Category:Clan Jade Falcon Commands|Lambda Galaxy]]
