The regiment was originally formed by volunteers from the mining settlement of [[Kearny]] on [[Northwind]]. The unit fought early battles for various Great Houses, including the [[Capellan Confederation]]. Its career in these early times was checkered with victories and defeats. The unit's first notable conflict was during the [[1st Andurien War|First Andurien War]], where the unit fought for the Confederation. The unit was nearly routed on [[Lopez]] by elements of [[House Marik]]'s [[Oriente Hussars]]. This route nearly cost the unit its career. *[[2761]] - First Kearny redeem themselves by successful occupation of the Davion world of [[Demeter]] with odds against them. ===Succession Wars=== *[[2801]] - The unit is deployed to [[Lincoln]] to successfully defend the world from elements of [[House Kurita]]'s Dieron Regulars attempt raid the world. *[[2802]] - The unit fought and lost to elements of the DCMS on Lincoln, losing their command ''battle standard''. The standard was presented back to the Highlanders as a gift of goodwill by [[Omi Kurita]] in [[3058]].<ref name=IW35>''Impetus of War'', p. 35</ref> *[[2865]] - First Kearny returned to [[Northwind]] to defend the world from House Marik regulars and their mercenary support units. The First Kearny was able to drive off the invaders. They inflicted heavy damage on the fleeing units, including the mercenary force known as the [[Jal's Jaegers]] but lost half of its men and equipment in the effort. The unit resolved to rebuild itself with heavier equipment, so it restricted itself to raiding until it fully rebuilt. *[[2866]] to [[2880]] - First Kearny conducts a number of raids on Free Worlds League holdings for 'Mechs and supplies. Recovering large quantity of medium BattleMechs to allow the regiment to fully recover. *[[2943]] - The Second Company of the Second Battalion, under the command of Captain Erika Laurel leader her company held the defense of Hsien against Marik troops until the [[Warrior House Ijori]] regiment arrived. *In the [[3008]] Battle of New Aragon, the First and [[2nd Kearny Highlanders| Second Kearny Highlanders]] faced [[Wolf's Dragoons]] and successfully held off five different assaults, including one from Zeta Battalion.<ref>''Wolf's Dragoons'', pp. 11–12</ref> *[[3028]] - Stationed on [[Highspire]] the First Kearny departed, after news reached them of the negotiation between the clan elders and the Federated Suns, to their new home on Northwind. ===War of 3039=== During the [[War of 3039]] the First Kearny Highlanders remained stationed on Northwind throughout the conflict.<ref>''Historical: War of 3039'', p. 143: "Deployment Table"</ref> ===Clan Invasion=== {{sectionstub}} ===Jihad=== {{sectionstub}} ===Dark Age Era=== This unit was the sole regiment from the famed Northwind Highlanders to remain in service after the founding of the [[Republic of the Sphere]], the First Kearny spent a couple of decades as a garrison unit for the [[Northwind Military Academy]] before being reinvented as a roving troubleshooter force.<ref name="EDDA"/> ====Early Republic Era==== At the [[Jihad]] ended, the First Kearny Highlanders were stationed on [[Northwind]] in [[Prefecture III]] of [[The Republic of the Sphere]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3085'', p. 186</ref> The Northwind Highlanders leadership negotiated with Republic government, where they would broker a deal to join the Republic Armed Forces while preserving the Highlanders legacy. In the end the First Kearny was elected to remain intact, while rest of the regiment would eventually be absorbed into the RAF losing their identities as Highlanders. While rebuilding from [[Operation SCOUR]] in [[3078]], the First Kearny would end up detaching a battalion of its forces to help rebuild the [[Third Republic Auxiliaries]] after the fighting during [[Operation: Golden Dawn]].<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 183: Independent Units - First Kearny survival and some details of First Kearny's actions during the early days it serving the Republic of the Sphere</ref> After the initial conflicts Republic had during the 3090s, the First Kearny would remain on Northwind as a garrison for the [[Northwind Military Academy]]. After years assigned to this duty, the regiment would be reinvented and tasked themselves as a troubleshooting force. As independent unit, the Highlanders would end up not being utilized during the [[Capellan Crusades]] of 3112–3113.<ref>''Historical: Wars of the Republic Era'', pp. 86–87: Capellan Crusades Deployment Tables - "Northwind Highlanders are not listed as being deployed as part of the conflict</ref><ref>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', pp. 15–16: First Kearny Highlanders - "Brief profile gives a basic early history of the First Kearny as garrison unit for the academy and later as troubleshooting unit its later years</ref> The First Kearny Highlanders made a combat drop against [[Black Dragon Society|Black Dragon]] pirates, when [[Colonel]] [[Emil Wallace]] suffered a [[BattleMech]] malfunction, and it was [[Tara Campbell]] (daughter of a former Highlander Commanding Officer) who step up into command of the operation with a masterful strategy that saved his life, threw the pirates off [[Sadalbari]] and crushed an entire company of the pirates, even capturing one of their [[DropShip|DropShips]].<ref name=DARoSp36/><ref name=ASitH/> ====The Blackout and after==== In August [[3132]] the [[HPG]] network largely went offline or was attacked during the event later dubbed "[[Gray Monday]]".<ref>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', p. 10: Dark Age Timeline - Gray Monday / HPG Crash listed</ref> True to their mission, the First Kearny were deployed across Prefecture III aiding in putting down uprisings and newly arisen splinter groups trying to gain power for themselves. Under the direction of Prefecture III's Prefect Tara Campbell, the First Kearny served as a roving troubleshooting force across her and neighboring Prefectures during the early years of the Blackout. The First Kearny along with two newly created sister regiments (the [[Northwind Fusiliers]] and shortly after the [[Republic Guards (Northwind Highlanders)|Republic Guards]]) would end being spread thin across the Rimward and Spinward portions of the Republic. Elements of the First Kearny would end up engaged in fighting an invasion of Northwind itself, by [[Steel Wolves]], a Clan-oriented splinter group, twice. Over the course of nine months (first in June [[3133]] and in February [[3134]]) with minimum resources, Campbell and the elements of the regiment would end up fighting off two takeover attempts by the Steel Wolves and its uncanny leader, [[Galaxy Commander]] [[Anastasia Kerensky]]. Despite betrayal of Paladin [[Ezekiel Crow]], the Highlanders succeeded, mounted what amounts to a counterattack to stop Steel Wolves from its next destination, which would soon be found out as [[Terra]]. The First Kearny with the rest of the available Northwind Highlanders Tara Campbell could muster, end up fighting off Steel Wolves with the [[Tenth Principes Guards]] on the fields of former nation of Russia in April. The regiment would continue to be stretched for a few more months until they would be requested to muster on [[Skye]], where they would face threat of invasion by [[Clan Jade Falcon]]. They would need to dig in and help build clever strategies as they faced elements of multiple [[Galaxy|Galaxies]] of troops after the Clan had captured a number of [[Prefecture VIII]] and [[Prefecture IX|IX]] worlds. The regiment, along with other coalition forces (including Steel Wolves) would manage to repulse the Falcons' first invasion in August 3134, however they would be forced to withdraw from Skye failing to fight off the second attack.<ref>''Era Digest: Dark Age'', pp. 8–10, 15–16: Brief highlights of the combat for Northwind, Terra, and Skye noted</ref><ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', pp. 14–15: Descend - Campbell and Highlanders effort noted and more details of the Battle for Skye</ref> [[DCMS]] forces took [[Scheat]] in June [[3135]] after engaging and routing elements of the Third Battalion, [[1st Kearny Highlanders|First Kearny Regiment]] from [[Republic Armed Forces]].<ref name=DA3135PDAJp201>''Dark Age: 3135 PDA Journals'', p. 201: "30 June 3135"</ref> ====Absorption into the RAF and legacy==== By [[3137]] the First Kearny had been absorbed into the RAF.
