Leaving the 171st Crimson Guards on Eden the Galaxy moved to Arcadia to rendezvous with [[saKhan]] Constans Cluff and the remnant of Omega Galaxy. When they made planetfall they found a dead world, but were soon ordered to move to Albion. Here they fought and won a Trial of Possession with naval elements of [[Clan Cloud Cobra]] for a passage to the planet. On reach the planet the Galaxy made a combat drop straight onto one of the Adder enclaves, which fell quickly.<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref> A week later the Galaxy moved against the second Adder enclave, here the fighting was more fierce, the 98th Crimson Guards were wiped out in an ambush that saw the Adders blow up a large portion of the city to prevent its capture, other Clusters took heavy damage from aerospace attack before the Spirit withdrew and obliterated both Adder enclaves with orbital bombardment.<ref name=wor123>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 123</ref> The Galaxy then moved to [[Tokasha]] in mid-[[3074]], joining with Zeta and Omega Galaxies in an attempt to take control of the entire planet.<ref name=wor138>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 138</ref> Their plans on Tokasha were halted by the arrival of [[ilKhan]] Andrews and a [[Clan Steel Viper]] task force in September 3074 who declared a Trial of Possession for the entire planet. All three Spirit Galaxies were bid in defense. Initially the Galaxy managed to flank the Vipers' [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Beta Galaxy]] but was caught in a crushing counterattack by [[Nu Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Nu Galaxy]] the Galaxy was surrounded an reduced to only a handful of warriors who managed to escape during a friendly air strike, but Omicron was destroyed as a force.<ref name=wor139>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 139</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 Omicron Provisional Galaxy''' |- | [[Galaxy Commander]]||[[Josh Kemp]]||[[3059]] - [[3067]]<ref name=FMCRC33/><ref name=FMU70>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 70: "Clan Blood Spirit Deployment Table"</ref> |- | Galaxy Commander||[[Darrin Keller]]||[[3073]]<ref name=wor122/> |- |} ==Tactics== Excelling at defense, the warriors of Omicron have learned to misdirect enemies about their locations and are capable of forcing their enemies onto unfavorable ground.<ref name=FMCRC33/> ==Composition History== ===3059<ref name=FMCRC33/>=== * [[21st Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|21st Crimson Guards]] * [[73rd Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|73rd Crimson Guards]] * [[98th Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|98th Crimson Guards]] * [[171st Crimson Guards (Clan Blood Spirit)|171st Crimson Guards]] ===3067<ref name=FMU70/>=== * 21st Crimson Guards * 98th Crimson Guards * 171st Crimson Guards ===3073-3074=== In early 3073 the Galaxy was equipped with an additional four new ProtoMech Clusters,<ref name=wor122/> including: * [[1st Blood Cavalry (Clan Blood Spirit)|1st Blood Cavalry]] * [[22nd Blood Cavalry (Clan Blood Spirit)|22nd Blood Cavalry]] By 3074 Omicron was entirely built around ProtoMechs.<ref name=wor139/> ==Rules== <div class="gamerules"> Adept at moving their forces - each consecutive turn Omicron Galaxy wins the initiative they may move one unit last, ''e.g.'' if they win the initiative for four turns they may move four units last.<ref name=FMCRC174>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 174</ref> </div> ==Notes== Because of Omicron's defensive nature and use of confusion on the battlefield, it uses appropriate camo, with the shoulders and heads of its 'Mechs painted in a blood red which then has black triangles stenciled over the red.
