==History==
'''Iota Galaxy''' was formed on [[York (Clan System)|York]] in [[3066]] to reclaim the initiative in the fighting against [[Clan Star Adder]] from some of the most elite Trinaries of the Blood Spirit ''[[touman]]''. Their first operation was a joint one with Kindraa Mick-Kreese of [[Clan Fire Mandrill]] in an attack against the Adder held [[Tathis]] system.<ref name=fmu41>''Field Manual: Updates'', p. 41</ref>

In late [[3069]] [[Khan]] Schmitt led [[Alpha Galaxy (Clan Blood Spirit)|Alpha]] and 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.<ref name=wor45>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 45</ref> In 3070 together with [[Kindraa Sainze]] the Galaxy pushed the attack against the Adders on Albion.<ref name=wor51>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 51</ref>

By [[3083]] the Galaxy had moved to the [[Colleen]] system. Here it was one of three Galaxy bid in defense against multiple attacks by [[Clan Stone Lion]] and [[Clan Coyote]]. The fighting was disastrous for the Spirits and after a few months only two holdings on the planet of [[Haven]] remained in their control.<ref name=wor155>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 155</ref> By [[3084]] the Galaxy could muster only a few Trinaries of warriors, and by the end of the years was wiped out.<ref name=wor157>''The Wars of Reaving'', p. 157</ref>

==Notes==
The transfer of Trinaries to form this Galaxy goes some way to explaining the number of Blood Spirit Clusters that disappeared from the roster between 3059 and 3067, which battle attrition alone does not account for.
