History

The First Falcon Dragoons were created with extensive use of abtakha warriors after the Refusal War. These warriors were mostly Snow Ravens from the Sixth Raven Stoop. These were supplemented with warriors from Clan Star Adder and Clan Ice Hellion.[1] They had been posted to Eden by 3059 and were still there in 3067.[2][3]

In September 3057, the Dragoons were bid to take a Clan Snow Raven genetic repository on Circe, sent against the 15th Raven Garrison; the outcome is unknown.[4]

In November 3069 the Steel Vipers' Gamma Galaxy landed on Eden overwhelming the Dragoons, and destroyed the Cluster. Due to the honor the Dragoons displayed in combat, two Binaries of warriors were among the few Falcons taken as bondsmen during the entire Viper campaign.[5]
