History

The Fourteenth Battle Cluster took part in Operation Revival, the Clan invasion of the Inner Sphere, during which they encountered several disreputable mercenary outfits in battle. Following their ambush by the Regal Death on Susquehanna, their commanding officer was responsible for pushing the Clan's Khans to declare all mercenaries dezgra. Ever since this Crusader unit has been on a mission to wipe out any mercenary company they come across with no pity or remorse, an extremist position which has made their loyalty to the Warden cause questionable.[1]

Operation Revival

The Fourteenth fought on the following worlds during the invasion of the Inner Sphere:

Wave Two

Wave Three

Wave Five

Tukayyid

Fought and decimated the 121st Division of the Com Guards on the march to Luk, but forced to turn back.

Helped to hold Spanac against raids by the Ninty-first and Twelfth Divisions.

First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War

As a part of Beta Galaxy the Fourteenth was 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. While the Twelfth Bear Chevaliers attacked the Clan Nova Cat forces on Mualang, preventing those forces from coming to the assistance of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery, the Fourteenth and the other elements of Beta Galaxy attacked both Dumaring and Najha.[2]

Officers

Star Colonel Dane Jorgensson has been the CO of the Fourteenth from the Clan Invasion through to at least 3067.[1][3]

Tactics

As with other Beta Galaxy units the 14th Battle prefers to make cautious advances against the enemy, using flanking attacks with mechanized Elemental support.[1]
