==History==
=== First Draconis Combine/Ghost Bear War ===
During the [[1st Combine-Dominion War|First Draconis Combine / Ghost Bear War]], which began in [[3062]], with a suicidal attack by three [[regiment]]s of the [[Alshain Avengers]] against [[Alshain]].<ref name="FM:Up60">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 60, "Overview"</ref> Omicron Galaxy deployed the [[6th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixth Bear Regulars]] against [[Nykvarn]],<ref name="FM:Up61">''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 61, "Omicron Galaxy"</ref> hitting the [[5th Sun Zhang Academy Cadre]]. The first battle destroyed one battalion of the Fifth and their losses continued to mount.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112</ref> The Sixth concentrated assault [[BattleMech]]s against the Fifth Sun Zhang Academy Cadre, inflicting heavy damage, until the campaign bogged down when the Fifth went to ground and started fighting a guerrilla war against the Ghost Bears.<ref name="FM:Up61"/> Eventually, the Fifth had to withdraw to [[Brocchi's Cluster]] to rebuild.<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 112</ref>

===The Jihad===
Omicron Galaxy was one of the [[galaxy|galaxies]] that took part in the Clan Ghost Bear campaign against the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]]. One particularly notable campaign was the battle for control of the former [[Draconis Combine]] world of [[Cebalrai]]. Omicron Galaxy assigned [[69th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Sixty-ninth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] and the [[1st Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|First]] and [[7th Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Seventh Bear Regulars]] to the battle, with the three units deploying in mid-August [[3075]].<ref name="JHS3076p47">''Jihad Hot Spots: 3076'', p. 47, "Cebalrai Free, But At What Cost?"</ref>

Having established landing zones, the three units swiftly pushed the defending forces from the [[Cebalrai Protectorate Militia]] and their supporting mercenaries off the continent of Lennori and continued to pursue them across Sarrina, a pursuit that culminated in a bloody three-day campaign to seize control of New Wade, the capital city of Cebalrai. New Wade was secured by the Ghost Bears on August 18 and the government reestablished; concerns about rogue Blakist units and supporters led to the First remaining in place to both act as guards and recuperate from their losses.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/>

The Seventh Bear Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC continued to harry the retreating Cebalrai Protectorate Militia and their supporting mercenary forces, pursuing them back to Dragga, where the Blakists still controlled the three main cities. The main Blakist strength was at Kamrin, a heavily industrial city, and the Ghost Bear forces were driving deep into the city when the Blakists acted out of desperation and detonated a chain of five neutron bombs that had been concealed under the city. The results were devastating for the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC, who were collectively reduced to just a handful of survivors.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/><ref name="JHS:Tp18">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 18, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp54">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 54, "The Jihad In Review"</ref>

With the Ghost Bears still in control of the bulk of Cebalrai, the [[10th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Tenth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] was deployed to the planet to secure Dragga, a campaign that took until at least the 23rd August;<ref name="JHS3076p47"/> even with the Blakists annihilated,<ref name=DARWp9>''Dark Age: Republic Worlds (3130)'', p. 9: "Cebalrai"</ref> the casualties inflicted on the Seventh Regulars and the Sixty-ninth PGC were such that Omicron Galaxy halted offensive operations temporarily to reassess the campaign and attempt to recover its strength.<ref name="JHS3076p47"/>

The Republic of the Sphere established a memorial to the Ghost Bears who died liberating Cebalrai; a huge sculpture of a Ghost Bear, carved from obsidian, was placed in the center of Kamrin, the location of the final conflict between the Ghost Bears and the Blakists.<ref name=DARWp9/>

==Game Rules==
<div class="gamerules">
=== 3061 ===
* In common with every other unit in the [[Clan Ghost Bear Touman|Clan Ghost Bear ''touman'']] at this point in time, the units within Omicron Galaxy receive a +1 modifier to any dice roll on Random Weight-Class tables to determine [[Star]] or [[Binary]]/[[Trinary]] type.<ref name="FM:WCp180">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 180, "Clan Ghost Bear"</ref>
* When units from Omicron Galaxy are the defenders, the attacking force has two choices: to bargain for ''[[safcon]]'', or to attack, with different rules coming into play based on the chosen option:<ref name="FM:WCp181">''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 181, "Omicron Galaxy"</ref>
:* If the attacker bargains for ''safcon'', the Omicron Galaxy player chooses which edge of the map will be his home edge first.<ref name="FM:WCp181"/>
:* If the attacker bargains for ''safcon'', the Omicron Galaxy player wins Initiative automatically in the first turn, and receives a +1 Bonus to Initiative rolls for the remainder of the game.<ref name="FM:WCp181"/>
:* If the attacker elects to attack, 2d6 is rolled for each attacking unit. On a roll of 12, that unit is destroyed. On a roll of 2, that unit suffers 2d6 damage allocated in 5-point clusters.<ref name="FM:WCp181"/>
* If the attacker is arriving via a combat drop, he may not request ''safcon''. Instead of rolling for potential damage as described above, the attacker must apply a +2 modifier to the landing roll target number for each dropping unit.<ref name="FM:WCp181"/>
