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]

War of 3039

Altais

The LCAF had special interest in Altais, as a staging point for further invasion and also to block any counter strikes from the DCMS. The task force invading the planet consisted of the 8th Donegal Guards supported by two mercanery commands, 1st Dragonslayers and the infamous Gray Death Legion. Offical reports suggest that the planet should be undefended despite rumors of two unknown formation were on planet. The 1st Ghost were tasked with the defense of vital space ports. That was also the target of the Gray Death Legion how landed as second unit of the task force on the world. The mercaneries staged simultanlous strikes at the two space ports. The first combat drops were uncontested but the second where 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 150km from their landing point to their belaguered comrades. Unexpected by the 1st the flanking raids were devasting. The Legion chased the Ghost and barely three companies could retreat off planet. [3]

Clan Invasion


Operation Bulldog

Volunteers from the unit formed the Swift Spirits Provisional Company as part of Operation Bird Dog.[4]

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.[5] They suffered heavy casualties in the process, and were rotated to Fellanin II to provide them with time to rebuild.[6]

Federated Suns Incursion


Jihad

During the Jihad the First Ghost was ordered off of Fellanin II and relocated to Kuzuu. There they spent the next three years hunting down Black Dragon Society operatives. They were still on Kuzuu in 3079.[7] The First Ghost were used as garrison troops during Operation SCOUR. They relocated to Nykvarn in 3085. Two of their battalions at this time were at full strength, but the third lacked several warriors. As they were so far from their supporting oyabun and clan, they began negotiating with local yakuza groups from the former Dieron Military District to find new soldiers.[8]


1st and 11th Ghost Regiment are still active in Dark Age [9]

Officers

As of 3059 to 3067 Tai-sa Bryan Kasigi was the commander of the 1st Ghost.[1][10]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Tai-sa Goro Kobayashi.[11]

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]
