History
Protects 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. During this time Lambda Galaxy's composition varied as units were assigned to other duties, but at its core was the Falcon Stoop Naval Star and the Seventy-Fourth Battle Cluster.[1] Tasked with similar duties, Mu Galaxy often worked with Lambda's elements.[2]
After the Jade Falcon's Incursion of 3058, Khan Marthe Pryde brought Lambda into the Inner Sphere to offset losses.[3]
In 3069 Clan Wolf's Kappa Galaxy tore through the worlds garrisoned by Lambda's units. Unused to the Wolves' combat style, Lambda took serious losses. The mid-Jihad uprising in the Occupation Zone also inflicted serious casualties on Lambda Galaxy.[4]
Two of Lambda's units drove off LCAF raids on Kikuyu and Newtown Square in 3080. At this time the Second Falcon Swoop Cluster and Lambda Solahma Cluster acted as an "OPFOR" for cadets at the Somerset Military Academy.[5] Lambda's units had also rebuilt approximately half of their Jihad losses.[6]
Lambda Galaxy were assigned to hunting pirates after the end of the Jihad, and in 3085 Lambda Galaxy was the first of the Clan Jade Falcon forces to receive supplies of the Chalchiuhtotolin support tank for use in the field.[7]
Officers
As of 3059 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Joel Thastus.[1] He was still in command in 3067[8]
Galaxy Commander Krishnamurthi Malthus commanded Lambda Galaxy in 3085.[6]
