As part of the Third Region of the Draconis Combine Military Region, the Nineteenth Striker was a unit that was frequently called on to end [[pirate]] raiding. As such, they became known for their battlefield diplomacy. They were able to convince multiple pirates and raiders to surrender to them rather than the [[DCMS]]. As a result the number of actual pirate raids (as opposed to state-sponsored raiding masquerading as pirates) dropped to nearly nothing in [[2765]].<ref>''Field Manual: SLDF'', p. 190</ref>

===Hegemony Campaign===
In [[2766]], the Third RCT rotated from the Periphery back to its post in the [[Rasalhague Military District]] in the Draconis Combine Military Region following the death of the [[First Lord of the Star League|First Lord]]. However, once the unit learned of [[Stefan Amaris]]'s treachery, the unit decided to act against the Usurper. [[Colonel]] [[Ezra Bradley]], the RCT's Commanding Officer, realized that direct assault against Amaris would not be possible, so he adopted a policy of raiding some of the weaker worlds near Terra to disrupt the Usurper's defenses. The plans worked until the Nineteenth Striker Regiment assaulted [[Talitha]]. Unbeknownst to the Third RCT, a traitor had relayed information to Amaris's forces and the regiment met three heavy Republican regiments after it dropped onto the city of Amity. The Nineteenth Striker Regiment was completely destroyed in the ensuing battle. The [[Eridani Light Horse]] was able to avenge the loss of the Nineteenth Striker with a series of vicious battles that eventually resulted in their participation in the liberation of [[Terra]] itself.<ref name=MH_68AU/><ref name=HLoTV1-117>''Historical: Liberation of Terra'', p. 117: "Return to the Hegemony - Standing at the Crossroads - Never Give Up"</ref>

There are rumors that a member of the [[Internal Security Force]] tipped off the Amaris forces about the Nineteenth's raid.<ref>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 52</ref> The accuracy of these rumors is unknown.

===Commemoration===
+
==Officers==
The Eridani Light Horse developed a number of traditions to commemorate the memory of the Nineteenth Striker Regiment. Whenever the three regimental commanders meet with the brevet general, a fourth place is set for the lost commander of Nineteenth Striker (after the creation of the [[Nineteenth Cavalry Regiment]] in [[3061]], the chair memorializing the Nineteenth Striker was placed against a wall).  Additionally, retiring ELH soldiers that have served with distinction would be officially inducted into the Nineteenth Striker Regiment and receive a pin with the Nineteenth's symbol, a rearing bronco. Lastly, during social events, the host will say a prayer for the personnel of the Nineteenth Striker.<ref name=M72>''Mercenary's Handbook'', p. 72: "Unit Traditions"</ref><ref name=FMCS_8919S>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 89: "19th Striker Regiment"</ref>
 
  
===Legacy===
 
In 3061, the Eridani Light Horse created the Nineteenth Cavalry Regiment to honor the members of the Nineteenth Striker Regiment.<ref>''Field Manual: ComStar'', p. 96: "19th Cavalry Regiment"</ref>

In ''[[Mercenary's Handbook]]'' and ''[[Field Manual: ComStar]]'', it is stated that the Nineteenth Striker was destroyed in a raid on the planet [[Amity]].<ref name=MH_68AU/><ref name=FMCS_84_85TUHD>''Field Manual: ComStar'', pp. 84‒85: "The Usurper and a Horse's Death"</ref> However, in ''[[Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1]]'' and ''[[Conflicts of Interest|No Greater Honor: Conflicts of Interest]]'', it is stated the Nineteenth Striker's final raid was on '''Amity City''' on the planet Talitha.<ref name=HLoTV1-117/><ref name=CoI>''No Greater Honor: Conflicts of Interest''</ref> As ''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 1'' and ''Conflicts of Interest'' were printed after ''Field Manual: ComStar'' and ''Mercenary's Handbook'', those references take precedence.
