The Nineteenth Galedon Regulars was a BattleMech regiment in service to the Draconis Combine.

History

Formation

The Nineteenth Galedon Regulars may have been an active unit during the Age of War, but during the Star League era the Galedon Regulars brigade was kept to a limited size by the Star League Council Edict of 2650; when the Star League Council overturned the edict in the mid-Twenty-eighth century the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery began expanding rapidly, but by 2765 only twenty-nine commands had been reactivated, numbered between the First and Fortieth Galedon Regulars and the Nineteenth wasn't one of the active commands.[1] The Nineteenth was activated as a combat command at some point during the First Succession War.[2]

Succession Wars

The unit has spent almost four decades garrisoning the back water world of Bad News. There is evidence that the unit has been operating without orders to hunt down bandits and raid Periphery worlds. They keep this activity low-key, and the Warlord of Galedon may be turning a blind eye toward it.[3]

Jihad

Stationed in the Tabayama Prefecture with the 16th Galedon Regulars, the Nineteenth Galedon Regulars spent most of the Jihad traveling around the prefecture, "showing the flag" and rebuilding civilian confidence. At 85% of their pre-Jihad size, they're currently the largest Galedon Regulars unit. The unit has split into two groups, one based on Kazanka and the other on Tabayama.[4]

Republic Era

In 3085, the Nineteenth redeployed to their new baseworld, Hun Ho. The Nineteenth wasn't part of the DCMS' punitive strike against the Snow Ravens in 3083. The unit desires a rematch with the Clan forces, but is still busy processing their new recruits.[5]

Dark Age

The Nineteenth has involved with the invasion into the Federated Suns, however they were forced back to Le Blanc after taking serious losses on Doneval II.[6]

Tactics

The Nineteenth has been used mainly as a garrison unit, and has therefore mastered defensive tactics. A particular favorite is a standing-line defense, concentrating fire on one target at a time, then driving forward to split the opposing force in half.[3]
