History
Home to the adherents of the Clan Cloud Cobra's Rossei Cloister in Clan Nova Cat, which has caused problems with other Nova Cat Warriors.[citation needed]
Combine-Ghost Bear War
In December 3062, the remains of Zeta Provisional Galaxy's 1st Dragoncat Cluster was sent to the unit and was absorbed prior to the Combine-Ghost Bear War. Included in this transfer was future Xi commanding officer Jal Steiner.[citation needed]
Xi fought on both Itabaiana and Caripare during the War.[citation needed]

Jihad
In February 3072, the sub-units of Xi Galaxy stripped their bases on Port Arthur, Tarazed, and Yamarovka of all equipment, supplies, personnel, and other war materials and left without explanation.[citation needed]
On July 14th, 3072, Xi Galaxy arrived over Luthien via a pirate point and declared a Trial of Annihilation against the Forty-second Shadow Division, in retaliation for the attack on Irece in June. Protecting the Galaxy were three Aegis-class WarShips - the Blade, Chronicle, and Vision Quest - supported by a cluster of aerospace fighters. This aerospace force punched a hole through a heavy Blakist aerospace presence, which included two WarShips and a dozen BattleSats.[1][2]
The Galaxy's five clusters managed to drop amidst the nasty air battle being fought above the Kado-guchi Valley to land on top of the Forty-second Shadow Division. Here, the clusters systematically tore into the Word of Blake force. The Nova Cats' aerospace fighters joined in the attack on the Blakist ground elements, until the arrival of additional Blakist fighters from a secret base. One of the clusters managed to break the Blakist's battle lines and enter the Imperial City. There, they doubled their efforts to annihilate all enemy units they came across. However, in the process, the Xi units began to take heavy causalities.[1]
In the city, Blakist reinforcements forced Galaxy Commander Jal Steiner to lead his Rossei Keshik and cluster Nova Cat troops out of the city. Steiner rallied his troops in the Waseda Hills for a second push into the city, when six nuclear missiles struck, leaving only between a cluster and a cluster-and-a-half surviving the operation. Those surviving troops withdrew to their DropShips and left Luthien, leaving the nearly destroyed 42nd and 9th Division screening forces to defend Imperial City.[2][3][1]

As of 3062, the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Elianna Deleportis.
As of 3067, the Commanding Officer was Galaxy Commander Jal Steiner, with aide, Star Colonel Isaiah Khatib.
