Unit Description
The 1st Skye Jaegers, one of five elite province regiments formed when the Lyran Alliance was formed in 3057. The unit, stationed on province capital world of Skye, and has leanings towards the Free Skye seperatist movement.
History
Formation and First Battle
The 1st Skye Jaegers were the first of the Jaeger units to reach regiment strength. The unit like all Jaeger units proved its loyalities to then Archon Katrina Steiner-Davion. It showed the Jaeger military concept proved workable, paving way for the other units of its kind, with itself became combat ready in 3060.
In 3062, the unit saw its first combat against the 15th Dieron Regulars, on the Lyran occupied world of Ko. The reprisal raid against the 15th's base after elements of the Regulars raided Skye earlier that year. The Jaegers bloodied the nose of the 15th, before returning to Skye.
The actions of the regiment triggered that Ko other worlds of the Lyons Thumb to be officially annexed by the Draconis Combine. This caused shortages of supplies, increasing red tape by the LAAF command, preventing the regiment to fully rebuild.[1]
For their actions on Ko, Skye Jaegers been awarded by unique banner with a depiction of the Draconis Combine dragon being throttled by a Steiner Fist. After the FedCom Civil War Archon Peter Steiner-Davion removed the dragon and fist emblem, but left the ribbon active.
FedCom Civil War and Free Skye
Despite being vilified by Lyran media, many of members of the separatist Free Skye starting joining the Skye Jaegers because of the raid. Many of the Free Skye communities on Ko were killed, seen as martyrs. Despite the LIC trying filter loyal Lyran citizens from joining the unit, many a member of the Free Skye movement joined the Jaegers.[citation needed]
Connections of Skye Jaegers with rebel Movement has drawn sanctions from 11th Lyran Regulars, dispatched by General Nondi Steiner to investigate case. By sudden attack onto disembarking Regulars, Free Skye forces threw out loyalist regiment from capitol into bogs. Two left batallions of loyalists left Skye, but leave some commandos to wreak chaos. Less than in a year the roles been exchanged. Arrived famous 11th Arcturan Guards battlegroup drawn Jaegers into same bogs and MacIntosh Valley, and then in guerilla war over all New Scotland continent.[citation needed]
Urgently recalled by General Dundee 4th Skye Rangers grant Jaegers a respite, and timely arrived call from General Nondi Steiner - salvation. The 11th Arcturan Guards battle group was recalled to Tharkad.[citation needed]
As 3067, Jaegers had less then half from previous numbers, but they still a staunch followers of Free Skye Movement.[citation needed]
Jihad
Skye Jaegers took a very active role into most phases of Jihad. By taking active part in operation "Ubershatten", they taken Gallatin, but later been shattered by FWLM counterattack and retreated with the Skye Guards[2]. Some odd reports mentioned Preston as a place of battle for Jaegers and Langendorf Lancers, but it's mistake[3]
In 3074, again restored 1st Skye Jaegers liberated Hesperus II as a part of Devlin Stone's Allied forces[4]. Regiment may lost some the senior officers from hands of Manei Domini Laodices[5] In liberation of Hesperus II, Skye Jaegers took as trophy some Galahad mechs[6]
In 3075-76, Jaegers again battling with WoB on Galatea in support role for ComStar 79th and 103rd Divisions[7][8].
Officers
As of 3062 to 3085 the commanding officer of the unit was Colonel Steve Pitcher, he promoted later to the rank of an Leutnant-General.[1][9][10]
