==History==
The '''Ninety-third Assault Cluster''' was a unit in the service of [[Clan Steel Viper]]. Prior to [[Operation Revival]], the Ninety-third was a frequent participant in raids against Clans [[Clan Ice Hellion|Ice Hellion]] and [[Clan Snow Raven|Snow Raven]]. The [[Cluster]] raided Snow Raven holdings on [[Hellgate]] in [[3055]] and [[3059]], losing both engagements.<ref name=FMWC151>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 151, "93rd Assault Profile"</ref> In 3060 the Cluster was stationed on [[Arcadia (Clan System)|Arcadia]],<ref name=FMWC168>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 168</ref> by [[3067]] the cluster had moved to [[New Kent]].<ref name="FM:Up67">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 67, "Steel Viper Touman"</ref>

In November 3069 the Ninety-third assaulted the Jade Falcon holdings on [[Huntress]]. They made a combat drop onto the Falcon's Eyrie position and then used their DropShips as planetary transport to hunt down and destroy the [[3rd Falcon Dragoons (Clan Jade Falcon)|3rd Falcon Dragoons]].<ref name=WoR47>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 47</ref>

September [[3073]] saw [[Clan Goliath Scorpion]] forces land on [[Glory (system)|Glory]] to support [[Kindraa Mattila-Carrol]] that were barely hanging on to their enclave at Portage. The Vipers had been attacking the Kindraa for sometime. The arrival of the Scorpions sparked a short naval battle before they landed on the planet. On 30th September the Mandrills fired upon the Ninety-thirds positions. The Ninety-third moved out to engage the Mandrills leaving only a trinary as rear guard. however this trinary was attacked and overrun by the Scorpions driving the Ninety-third into the waiting Mandrills and destroying the cluster.<ref name=WoR124>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 134</ref>

==Tactics==
In the 3050s the combat style of the Cluster was offensive, because all of its warriors wanted to show their worth to be part of the Inner Sphere occupation force no matter what it took.<ref name=FMWC151/>
