==History==
In July [[3074]], the Star Adder Watch contacted Star Colonel Boyd Truscott of the 191st Adder Guards, alerting him of the [[Zeta Galaxy (Clan Burrock)|Burrock Zeta Galaxy]]'s plans to sow conflict between the Hell's Horses and the [[Ghost Bear Dominion]] by equipping themselves with Horses equipment taken from [[Nouveaux Paris]] and attacking a string of Ghost Bear worlds under false colors. Truscott passed the information to [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Unther Cooper]], who passed it to the Ghost Bears in turn via the Horses' Khan. Given permission to intercept the Burrocks by the Ghost Bears, the Hell's Horses dispatched the [[39th BattleMech (Clan Hell's Horses)|Thirty-ninth BattleMech Cluster]] alongside the [[5th Assault (Clan Star Adder)|Fifth Assault Cluster]] and 191st Adder Guards to engage the Burrock raiders at [[Thule]]. Following the descending Burrock DropShips, the combined forces hot-dropped near the city of Accotink City—the main industrial city on Thule, located on the shores of Lake Accotink—and engaged the Burrock forces, while observed by a Ghost Bear [[Trinary]] of ''[[solahma]]'' warriors. As the battle spilled over into the city, the Ghost Bear patrol was destroyed by the Burrocks, but the Fifth Assault Cluster successfully destroyed the [[2nd Burrock Cavaliers (Clan Burrock)|Second Burrock Cavaliers]]. The remaining two Burrock Clusters evaded the 191st and the Thirty-ninth, although the destruction inflicted on the city during the three-way battle included the newly-completed ''[[Miraborg (DropShip class)|Miraborg]]'' manufacturing facility. Engaged in the air by Ghost Bear aerospace fighters and harried by the Adder and Hell's Horses ground forces, one of the two escaping DropShips was successfully destroyed.<ref name="WoRp136"/>
