History
Formation
The First Ghost Regiment was the first regiment formed by Theodore Kurita and the yakuza. In 3033 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]
War of 3039
In the War of 3039, the 1st Ghost Regiment engaged the Grey Death Legion Mercenary Battalion on Altais.[3] They didn't do well, losing two-thirds of their force to the mercenaries.[4]

Operation Bulldog

Dominion War
The 1st Ghost was deployed to Fellanin II to dissuade Federated Suns from attacking. They were recalled to the Clan border as soon as the Ghost Bears attacked but didn't arrive until the war had ended. They returned to the Prosperina Prefecture, retaking Prosperina with the 1st Sword of Light, 12th Dieron Regulars and the 46th Dieron Regulars.[6] They suffered heavy casualties in the process, and were rotated to Fellanin II to provide them with time to rebuild.[7]

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]
