Destruction of Tau
On August 8th, 3058, the 179th, in conjunction with the 246th Battle Cluster, destroyed the Smoke Jaguar's Tau Galaxy on the planet of Wayside V.
Officers
As of 3062 the commanding officer was Star Colonel Jill Lenardon, who replaced Santin West.
Tactics
Sigma Galaxy was noted for caution and hesitation on the battlefield. To overcome this reputation the 179th Striker Cluster equipped itself with fast units that could perform high-speed attacks that delivered a decisive blow to their opponent early in the confrontation. The 179th never practiced holding their ground, instead they were either attacking or re-organizing to launch another attack.[1]
Composition

With their emphasis on speed and firepower, jump-capable medium and heavy 'Mechs. The Huntsman and Summoner formed the backbone of most Stars. The 179th also used second line 'Mechs if they were fast enough. Grizzlys, Black Pythons, and Conjurers were commonly found in the 179th.[1]
