[edit] Federated Suns Incursion
Ryuken-go began defending Matsuida from Federated Suns forces in early 3068. The High Command wasn't able to transfer any reinforcements to the world, however, and the unit was destroyed by the end of 3068.[2]
Following the destruction of the Ryuken-go, some of the few survivors went on to band together with remnants of other destroyed DCMS commands such as the 16th Legion of Vega and the 3rd Dieron Regulars to form the mercenary unit known as the Kouki no Otakebi.[3]
[edit] Officers
3059, Tai-sa Davis Shotoku leads the command with a spiritual guidance of zen.[4]
[edit] Tactics
Every mechwarrior is skilled in the operation of his machine. This allow the unit complex manuvers. The command prefers open field warfare to used the combined arms to its best. The conventional forces play a important role.[4] During the Battle of Misery, this improved piloting skill allowed the warriors of Ryuken-go to make physical attacks more effectively.[5]
