History

Following the Jihad, Kappa Galaxy was relocated from the core of Clan Hell's Horses' territory to the frontline worlds facing Clan Jade Falcon. This posting, combined with the presence of the Falcon-controlled Somerset Military Academy just a jump away, made Kappa Galaxy a punching bag for Falcon warriors fresh from their Trials of Position. The unit did not take their status as a training tool for their foes well and chafed under the damage done to their honor.[1]

During the Dark Age, Kappa Galaxy was refitted, with the majority of the Clusters within the Galaxy becoming Ranger Clusters. By the mid-thirty-second century Kappa was primarily acting to deter and hunt pirates while supporting Alpha Galaxy.[2]

Kappa was largely focused on the less-populated worlds of the Hell's Horses Occupation Zone; when in the mid-3140s pirates had gone to ground on Novo Cressidas in the Star's End system one of the Clusters from Kappa - the Twelfth Rangers - spend months traveling from one settlement to another tracking down the pirates and negotiating with the various tribal leaders.[2]
