History
Founding
The Founding of the First Rasalhague Regulars on Rasalhague in 2730 was something of a public relations coup for both the Draconis Combine and the DCMS. The First was modeled on the Striker-pattern regiments used by the SLDF and was based around light and medium 'Mechs, with organic aerospace fighter support. The First contained a large proportion of 'Mechs designed by the Star League and produced either in the Combine or purchased as SLDF surplus, including a complete company of Land-Air 'Mechs produced by LexaTech Industries on Irece. The high technological standard of the First made it stand out among the ranks of DCMS units, particularly given the Combine's tendency to lag behind the neighboring Lyran Commonwealth in terms of military technological advancement.[1]
The First is often held up as a model regiment that the other Rasalhague units should try to emulate. What is left unsaid is that most of the members of the First are not native residents of the Rasalhague Military District.[2]
First Succession War
The First Rasalhague Regulars began the war stationed within the Richmond system. Unlike many other units, the First was able to survive the vicious fighting, though they took 82% losses, and returned to Richmond at the end of the war.[3]
