==History==
As of 3061 the '''Seventh Phalanx''' was stationed on [[Casere]] alongside the [[3rd Bear Regulars (Clan Ghost Bear)|Third Bear Regulars]] Galaxy Commander does not know what else to do with them. Colonel Russell has tried to cross-train with the Third, but so far that unit's distaste for the Seventh's contingent of armored vehicles has driven a wedge between them. <ref name=FM:WCp94>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 94: "Theta Galaxy Unit Profile"</ref>

=== The Jihad ===
During the Ghost Bear campaign against the [[Word of Blake]] during the [[Jihad]] Theta Galaxy was assigned to Beta Wave,<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Theta Galaxy"</ref> which was led by [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]].<ref name="FR:Cp9B">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Beta Galaxy"</ref> After Beta Galaxy took heavy casualties during the attack on [[Ascella]], an attack that began on the 6th of October [[3075]]<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> and which went badly enough to be considered a debacle, the entire of Theta Galaxy - including the Seventh - was moved from a supporting role to an offensive role.<ref name="FR:Cp9"/>

==== Moore ====
The first attack launched by Theta Galaxy was against the world of [[Moore]] on the 21st of July [[3076]];<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> Theta performed poorly during the campaign, taking heavier losses than would be expected.<ref name="FR:Cp9"/>

==== Pike ====
Theta Galaxy assaulted [[Pike IV]] in September 3076;<ref name="JHS:Tp22">''Jihad Hot Spots: Terra'', p. 22, "Timeline of the Jihad"</ref><ref name="J:FRp56">''Jihad: Final Reckoning'', p. 56, "The Jihad In Review"</ref> while the attack on Moore had gone poorly, the Pike IV campaign was an even poorer showing on Theta's part. Of particular concern to the Dominion Council was the destruction of the Seventh, which was lost after elements of the [[30th Provisional Garrison (Clan Ghost Bear)|Thirtieth Provisional Garrison Cluster]] refused to come to their assistance.<ref name="FR:Cp9">''Field Report: Clans'', p. 9, "Theta Galaxy"</ref>

==Tactics==
The command uses also the ''smash & grab'' tactic. The cluster know their terrain well and use the lighter units to lead the enemy in to an ambush. The enemy can approach to the target without fight and at the right moment the rest of the unit assaulted from all sides simultanesly.<ref name=FMWC94b>''Field Manual: Warden Clans'', p. 94, "7th Phalanx Profile"</ref>
