===[[Refusal War]]===
During the Refusal War the Beta Galaxy was commanded by [[Khan]] [[Natasha Kerensky]] herself throughout the war until her death on [[Twycross]]. The survivors were ordered to escape while she held the Jade Falcons off and attempted to join [[Ulric Kerensky]] on [[Wotan]]<ref name=F&W30>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', p. 30</ref> before being exiled with [[Khan]] [[Phelan Ward]] to the Inner Sphere.

===Post-Refusal War===
{{main|Tau Galaxy (Clan Wolf)}}
Tau Galaxy of [[Clan Jade Wolf]] was designated the Beta Galaxy of the new Clan Wolf when their Galaxy Commander, [[Marialle Radick]], was named saKhan.<ref name=F&W456>''The Falcon and the Wolf'', pp. 45–46</ref> She reformed multiple Clusters and rebuilt the [[Silver_Keshik_(Clan_Wolf)|Silver Keshik]], who joined her in the Homeworlds while the rest of the Galaxy guarded the Occupation Zone.

===Mid-3060s===
Between [[3065]] and [[3067]] Beta Galaxy participated in a series of strikes against [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. The Silver Keshik and 13th Battle Cluster faced the 5th Falcon Regulars on [[Quarell]]. The conflict was organized into a series of duels, which the Wolves won. In addition to taking the world, several Jade Falcon bondsmen were taken by Beta Galaxy.

Beta Galaxy was then reassigned to the border between Clan Wolf and the [[Free Rasalhague Republic]].<ref>''Field Manual: Updates'', pp. 52–53</ref>

===Dark Age Era===
Beta Galaxy took part in the creation of the [[Wolf Empire]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 10</ref> During the raiding of [[3137]] they took [[Keystone]], [[New Olympia]], and [[Stewart]] from the [[Marik-Stewart Commonwealth]]. They also engaged [[Lyran Commonwealth]] forces on [[Smolnik]], but were repelled.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 159</ref> In [[3143]] they landed on [[Tharkad]], and issued a [[Trial of Possession]] for the continent of Bremen. They were successful in their challenge.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 148</ref>

On March 2nd, 3150 Beta Galaxy sent three Clusters to [[Skye]], facing off against [[Clan Jade Falcon]]'s Turkina Keshik and 124th Falcon Striker Cluster. The Falcons were forced off-world after fighting for ten days. Members of Beta Galaxy also captured Falcon [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Noritomo Helmer]], who was taken as a bondsman.<ref>''Shattered Fortress'', p. 84: "The Assault of Skye"</ref>
