History[edit]
First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War[edit]
Two of the Claws from Zeta Galaxy were actively involved in the First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War, which began in 3062 with a suicidal attack by three regiments of the Alshain Avengers against Alshain.[1] The Third Claw were called into action when the Ghost Bears responded to the Clan Hell's Horses invasion of the Ghost Bear Dominion during the Combine-Dominion War; the Third played a significant role in the battle on Predlitz, where the Third incapacitated the Hell's Horses' Khan during the battle for New Denver, the planetary capital, and were recognized as having performed particularly well. The Third took heavy losses and were still awaiting an influx of new recruits in 3067.[2]
Jihad[edit]
The Third Claw was among the Ghost Bear forces to engage the Word of Blake on Radstadt in early 3074.[3]
