History

Oldest garrison Galaxy in the Clan Ghost Bear Touman.[1]

Was sent into the Inner Sphere after the Third Wave of Operation Revival to garrison worlds taken in the Inner Sphere.[1]

The Dark Age

With the collapse of the HPG network after Gray Monday Tau Galaxy was posted to the Periphery border of the Rasalhague Dominion; given Tau's status as a secondline galaxy only slightly below frontline status, this seemed an odd move to observers outside the Dominion. Tau's posting prompted speculation that the Dominion was preparing for a potential attack from the Clan Homeworlds and that the Dominion perhaps believed the various Homeworld Clans were responsible for the events of Gray Monday.[2]

Tau's posting wasn't without problems; while Galaxy Commander Ezekial Vong was on a diplomatic mission to Santander V he evidently insulted Inheritor Warden Seb Hutardo; more surprising to outside observers was the decision by the Dominion Council to demand that Ezekial Vong perform surkai to the ruler of such an unimportant microstate.[2]

Officers

As of 3061 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander François Cote.[1]

In 3145 the commanding officer was Galaxy Commander Ezekiel Vong. His aide was Star Colonel Janie Cobb.[3]
