History[edit]

Formation[edit]

The Seventh Amphigean Light Assault Group was formed during the Clan Invasion from the few survivors of the 2nd Amphigean Light Assault Group and the 5th Amphigean Light Assault Group. The 7th was formed in the Dieron Military District, filling the open positions with survivors of other DCMS regiments and newly-graduated recruits.[1]

Operation Bulldog[edit]


Dominion War[edit]

The 7th Amphigean LAG moved from Kimball II to Buckminster to reinforce the Clan Ghost Bear border. During a brief visit to the unit, Minoru Kurita reassigned the 7th's infantry assets to himself. These assets were later returned to the 7th.[2]

Jihad[edit]

During the Jihad the Seventh suffered an ignoble defeat when half the unit sided with the Black Dragon Society. The half that remained loyal to the Dragon engaged their former comrades. Before the issue could be resolved, however, the Word of Blake performed an orbital bombardment on Buckminster in October 3069 and destroyed all members of the Seventh.[3][4]

Officers[edit]

Rank Name Command

Tactics[edit]

The Seventh was working hard to develop the quick strike and open field maneuvers common to the Amphigean Light Assault Groups.[1]
