Unit Description
The 16th Wolf Guards Battle Cluster was a Clan Wolf in Exile Combined Arms military formation.
History
Originally the 16th Wolf Battle Cluster. After the Exiled Wolves reorganised their forces [1] the Cluster was stationed on Arc-Royal in 3061.[2] It appears to have maintained this posting throughout the Jade Falcon Incursion of 3064, but by 3067 had been moved to garrison Morges. [3]
Jihad
During the Jihad the Sixteenth landed on Chara in the Free Worlds League as part of Operation SCOUR. There they faced off against the 4th Free Worlds Legionnaires, a unit that had defected from the Free Worlds League to join the Word of Blake. The attackers, including the Sixteenth, suffered at the hands of Chara's SDS system. These early losses reduced the Sixteenth's strength, and the entire Chara assault was a failure.[4] The survivors of the assault withdrew to Talitha, the Sixteenth was effectively destroyed. [5]
Officers
- Star Colonel Craig Ward in 3057.[6]
- Star Colonel Craig Fetladral in 3067.
Tactics
The Cluster often divides into component Stars and fights in different pairing to avoid its warriors becoming dependent on current Trinary organisation. [7]
