History[edit]
The Twentieth Royal CAAN Marine Regiment was formed on Titan in order to fight underwater, on floating cities, and underground. Shortly before their first SLDF deployment in 2582 a Locust assigned to the unit broke the land speed record, using Titan's low gravity to hit a top speed of 1,005 km/h. The 'Mech's legs were destroyed, but this record would stand well into the thirty-first century.[1]
In 2764, the unit was assigned, as a part of the XVIII Corps, Ninth Army, to District 2 of the Free Worlds League Military Region, but was moved to an undisclosed area of the Periphery.[2] The Twentieth was destroyed during the Hegemony Campaign.[2]
