History[edit]
Star League Era[edit]
During the Star League era the Eighteenth Galedon Regulars shared a common structure with the other regiments of the Galedon Regulars, due to the threat posed by the Armed Forces of the Federated Suns. This common structure saw the Fifteenth assigned a group of conventional regiments for support - five armor regiments and five infantry regiments, an artillery regiment and a reinforced aerospace fighter wing. Second only to the Sword of Light regiments in priority, the various Galedon Regulars regiments had excellent levels of supplies, and a high level of access to new BattleMechs and equipment.[1]
Succession Wars[edit]
First Succession War[edit]
The Eighteenth Galedon Regulars participated in the assault against the Federated Suns in 2787. They survived the horrors of the First Succession War and were posted on Bad News at the end of the war.[3]
Second Succession War[edit]
The Eighteenth was one of twelve Galedon Regulars regiments to be destroyed during the Second Succession War.[2]
Officers[edit]

Tactics[edit]
Star League Era[edit]
Due to the high number of Sun Zhang Military Academy and Galedon Military Academy recruits within the Galedon Regulars, the Regulars often displayed fanatical loyalty and courage. However, the elitism displayed by these same recruits led to poor coordination between the Regulars and the attached convention forces, who were often used as cannon fodder.[1]
