History
Formation
The First Ghost Regiment was the first regiment formed by Theodore Kurita and the yakuza. In 3033[1] the yakuzas ambassador selected MechWarriors from a wide variety of yakuza gangs. These warriors were highly skilled individually, but had little experience working in large groups. This made them ideal to test out Theodore's reforms.[1] They have proved excellent students, and their loyalty to the Dragon is unquestionable.
Ronin Wars
The First Ghost didn't participate in the Ronin Wars.[2]

That was also the target of the Gray Death Legion how landed as second unit of the task force on the world. The CO of the mercaneries decided to strike simultanly at the two space ports. The first combat drop were uncontested but the second was difficult for the steiner force. The 1st Ghost started 3 assault on that position in short order but were alway beaten. The other half of the mercaneries travel over 150 km from their landing point to their belaguered comrades. Unexpected by the 1st the flanking raids were devasting. The Legion chased the Ghost and barely 3 companies could retreat offworld. [3]

They returned to the Prosperina Prefecture, retaking Prosperina with the 1st Sword of Light, 12th Dieron Regulars and the 46th Dieron Regulars.[5] They suffered heavy casualties in the process, and were rotated to Fellanin II to provide them with time to rebuild.[6]

Officers
Tactics
The 1st Ghost has taken Theodore's new fighting methods to an extreme. They expertly integrated all types of combat units at all levels, and used their forces to bring their maximum power to bear on an enemy's weak points. They are also experts at urban combat and close range fighting. Most of the Mechs are equipped with small and medium lasers and SRM launchers to bring tremendous firepower to bear on an enemy at close range.[1]
