The 11th Battle [[Cluster]] is not a flashy unit, but its accomplishments throughout Clan Wolf history speak for themselves.  More [[Bloodnamed]] warriors have come from the 11th than any other Cluster within the [[Clan Wolf Touman|Wolf ''touman]]'', a number that is demonstrated during formal events when a reading of the [[Blood List]], the roll call of all Cluster members that went on to win a [[Bloodname]], is read aloud.  The high number of members that have earned Bloodnames has led the unit to be given the nickname of the "Blood Gallery".<ref name=WCS97>''Wolf Clan Sourcebook'', p. 97, "Star Colonel Abioseh Winson"</ref>

Despite this history, the first years of the Clan Invasion were not as glorious for the Cluster.  The death of high-ranking officers in training accidents or in a crash of a civilian transport made many wonder if fortune was conspiring against them.  These thoughts were compounded when the unit did not perform well in Trials or against [[Inner Sphere]] opponents.  The Cluster's confidence was shaken enough by these events that a rumor began to spread that Star Colonel Abioseh Winson was deliberately losing bids at Trials to avoid any further disgrace.<ref name=WCS97/>

[[Image:Wbeta.png|thumb|right|125px|Beta's Insignia]]The Eleventh Battle Cluster survived the [[Refusal War]], but was trapped on [[Wotan]]. Being a staunch [[Warden Clans|Warden]] Cluster [[Crusader Clans|Crusader]] Khan [[Vladimir Ward]] left it intact during his reform of Clan Wolf's ''touman'' so that its Warden members would be in one single unit. In an attempt to rid himself of these warriors, Ward transferred them to [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Wolf)|Beta Galaxy]] and utilized the Cluster in a number of battles in the hope that attrition would finally remove them.<ref name=fmcc143/>
