==History==
'''Omega Galaxy''' was raised in [[3010]] with [[BattleMechs]] from the final secret exchange between [[Clan Blood Spirit]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]]. Remained the smallest front-line Galaxy in Clan Blood Spirit until after the [[Burrock Absorption]], when Omega took in units and warriors from other destroyed Galaxies like [[Pi Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Pi]], [[Kappa Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Kappa]] and [[Mu Provisional Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Mu]].<ref name=FMCRC32>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 32: "Omega Galaxy Profile"</ref>

During the Burrock Absorption, Omega garrisoned the Blood Spirit Enclave on [[Arcadia (Clan System)|Arcadia]], where they fought [[Clan Star Adder]]'s [[Mu Provisional Galaxy (Clan Star Adder)|Mu Galaxy]] who attacked them in retaliation for the Blood Spirit's interference in the Trial. The battles there reduced Omega to less than a [[Cluster]] in strength.<ref name=FMCRC32/>

Omega Galaxy was black-marked by the other warriors of the [[Clan]], for the shame of losing the Continent of Boques in their fight against [[Clan Star Adder]] with the additional loss of two full [[Cluster]]s.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 41: "Omega Galaxy - The Sanguine Reavers"</ref>

The Galaxy arrived in [[Barcella]] in [[3070]] led by [[saKhan]] Boques and [[Loremaster]] Campbell to assist [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] fighting against [[Clan Ice Hellion]], during the fighting Loremaster Campbell was killed and Star Colonel Constans Cluff was elected as a replacement.<ref name=wor54>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 54</ref> The Galaxy then joined with Sigma and Zeta on Circe. Here they were engaged by Star Adder forces who inflicted heavy casualties on all three Galaxies.<ref name=wor55>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 55</ref>

In [[3072]] the Galaxy was still actively aiding [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] in their ongoing feud with Clan Ice Hellion.<ref>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 110</ref> The Scarlet Guards were almost wiped out in the fighting on [[Paxon]] in December 3072.<ref name=wor82-3>''The Wars of Reaving'', pp. 82–83</ref> In [[3073]] the remnant of the Galaxy commanded by [[saKhan]] Constans Cluff moved to Arcadia to rendezvous with Omicron Galaxy. When they made planetfall they found it dead world.<ref name=wor122>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 122</ref> The Galaxy then move to [[Tokasha]] in mid-[[3074]] joining with Omicron and Zeta Galaxies in an attempt to take control of the entire planet.<ref name=wor138>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 138</ref>

Their plans on Tokasha were halted by the arrival of [[ilKhan]] Andrews and a [[Clan Steel Viper]] task force in September 3074 who declared a Trial of Possession for the entire planet. All three Spirit Galaxies were bid in defense. The Viper's [[Gamma Galaxy (Clan Steel Viper)| Gamma Galaxy]] slammed into Omega an swiftly breached its lines. IlKhan Andrews called out Khan Boques in a [[Circle of Equals]] and won ending the fighting on Tokasha. The captured Blood Spirit warriors were offered life as a Viper Laborer or death, most chose death.<ref name=wor139>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 139</ref>
