Cluster Types
( Taken from: http://kerensky.ultraforce.org/btech/clans/csa.html )
Armored Cavalry Squadrons
These Clusters consist mostly of medium and heavy OmniMechs, with a few Stars of light scouts. Four Stars of aerospace support is the norm.
Assault Clusters
The backbone of each front line Galaxy, these units contain heavy and assault OmniMechs. At least one Trinary is made up of faster heavy Omnis such as the Timber Wolf and the Gargoyle..
Dragoon Clusters
These Clusters are "jack of all trades", equipped for maximum flexibility.
Cavalier Clusters
OmniMechs of every type are assigned to these Clusters, which balance speed with hitting power.
Hussar Clusters
Warriors and equipment captured from Clan Burrock mostly populate these Clusters. Fast light and medium OmniMechs are standard, along with a few Stars of fast heavies.
Guards Clusters
Heavy in weight and moderate in speed, these Clusters have been among the last to receive armored infantry. Several have yet to receive any.
Gatekeeper Clusters
These are Clan Star Adder's solahma units. Seven currently operate with BattleMechs in the Provisional Galaxies. Additional Clusters operate with vehicles or standard infantry. These Clusters do not contain any Elementals, though aerospace fighters are usually present in standard numbers.
Sentinel Clusters
These Clusters are standard second line formations. Composition varies widely, though most include a Binary of aerospace fighters. Elementals have recently been assigned to some Clusters.
