History[edit]

The unit was officially founded by Victor Steiner-Davion on December 23rd 3062, when he declared Archer Christifori's rebels the First Thorin Regiment. The unit was founded from the Thorin planetary militia and various (sometimes criminal) groups of civilians.

The first task of the First Thorin Regiment was to defeat the 15th Arcturan Guards. They successfully drove them off Thorin and Muphrid in early 3063.

The novel Measure of a Hero states, that the First Thorin Regiment stood on Thorin on February 9th 3063. However, the novel Call of Duty states, that by February 11th, the First Thorin Regiment had integrated the Muphrid planetary militia and conquered Syrma, Milton and Alcor. The fighting on Alcor lasted from mid-January to February 11th.

By salvaging the remains of the defeated militias and taking on Davionist sympathizers and volunteers, the First Thorin regiment all in all has grown to a reinforced Regiment. But by leaving garrison troops on each planet, their strength was at two reinforced combined-arms Battalions in February 3063.
