==History==
The '''Seventy-second Crimson Cuirassiers Cluster''' missed the [[Burrock Absorption]] together with the [[112th Scarlet Battle (Clan Blood Spirit)|112th Scarlet Battle Cluster]] due to a jump drive core leak on their [[JumpShip]]. With the destruction of [[Delta Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Delta Galaxy]], the Seventy-second was transferred to Alpha Galaxy.<ref name=FMCSC31>''Field Manual: Crusader Clans'', p. 31: "72nd Crimson Cuirassiers Cluster Profile"</ref>

Alpha Galaxy and the Cuirassiers remained on the defensive on [[York (Clan System)|York]], counterattacking where possible. Between [[3059]] and 3066 they saw almost constant fighting fending off raids by [[Clan Star Adder]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 41: "Blood Spirit ''touman''"</ref>

In late 3069, Khan Schmitt led Alpha and [[Iota Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Iota]] Galaxies against the Adders on [[Albion (Clan System)|Albion]] quickly capturing a [[Chrysaor]] ProtoMech factory and by the end of the year had secured 40% of the planet. The Khan then led Alpha against [[Clan Steel Viper]]'s holdings on [[Arcadia (Clan System)|Arcadia]] and captured their ''[[Roc (ProtoMech)|Roc]]'' ProtoMech complex.<ref name=wor45>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 45</ref> Alpha Galaxy and the Cuirassiers were involved in near constant fighting on York but by 3070 had reduced the [[Clan Star Adder|Adder]] holdings to a single enclave.<ref name=wor42>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 42</ref>
