The Viper Clusters had surrounded the Wolf enclave when a surprise attack against their rear by the Coyote [[Twenty-seventh Strike (Clan Coyote)|Twenty-seventh Strike Cluster]] was followed by the Wolves. In the confusion, Galaxy Commander Varga was killed along with half his force.<ref name=WoR96>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 96</ref> In December [[3074]], the Vipers launched a massive assault against [[Clan Coyote]] on [[Tamaron]] with six Galaxies and a large naval force. After a week of fighting in space, the Vipers finally forced the remnant of the Coyote navy to flee. The ground forces made for their objectives, several major factory complexes in the Apache Mountains. Securing these cost the Coyotes both [[Epsilon Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Epsilon]] and [[Lambda Galaxy (Clan Coyote)|Lambda]] Galaxies. The Viper assault then turned toward the planetary capital of San Mateo. By 16 December, the city was surrounded. Four Coyote Galaxies had been destroyed, at the cost of three Viper ones, including Rho and the Fifth Legion.<ref name=WoR1423>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 142–143</ref> ==Officers== {| class="wikitable" |- ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command |- | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the Fourth Fang''' |- | [[Star Colonel]]||[[Octavian Tamm]]||[[3061]]<ref name=FMWC147/> |- | Star Colonel||[[Louise]]||[[3067]]<ref name=FMU80/> |- |} ==Tactics== The Cluster was often opposition force during training cycles for the Clusters of [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)|Alpha Galaxy]].
