==History==
 
==History==
=== Star League Era ===
 
The '''Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars''' were one of thirty-one regiments of Dieron Regulars to be created by the [[Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery]] after [[2765]].<ref name="FSWp137"/> The Dieron Regulars expanded by ten regiments during the [[Amaris Civil War]],<ref name="FSWp119">''First Succession War'', p. 119, "House Kurita"</ref> and a further twenty-one regiments were raised between the end of the Civil War and the end of the [[First Succession War]]. Of the latter twenty-one regiments, eight were formed by recruiting [[Star League Defense Force]] personnel and units - including the Twenty-seventh - whilst the remainder were recruited more conventionally.<ref name="FSWp137"/> Some of the regiments of Dieron Regulars recruited from the SLDF were single regiments recruited wholesale, but the Twenty-seventh was based around two [[battalion]]s of assorted SLDF personnel drawn from the [[20th Army (Star League)|Twentieth Army]]. One battalion was drawn from the [[Eighteenth Infantry Division]],<ref name="FSWp32"/> a division within [[LXVII Corps (Star League)|LXVII Corps]] that had disbanded in [[2779]] after taking heavy losses during the campaign for [[Alula Australis]],<ref name="SLp158"/><ref name="LoT2p46">''Historical: Liberation of Terra Volume 2'', p. 46</ref> whilst the second battalion was drawn from the disbanding [[200th Jump Infantry Division]],<ref name="FSWp32"/> a [[XLVII Corps (Star League)|XLVII Corps]] unit.<ref name="SLp158">''The Star League'', p. 158, "Twentieth Army"</ref>
 
 
===Third Succession War===
 
In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Ashio]].<ref name=HKDCp133/>
 
 
===Fourth Succession War===
 
The Twenty-seventh Dieron Regulars were stationed on [[Ashio]] where they received several officers from the [[8th Sword of Light]] after that unit faced [[Wolf's Dragoons]] on [[Misery]].<ref name=MFSp1>''My Father's Sword, p 1''</ref>
 
 
 
===Clan Invasion===
 
===Clan Invasion===
In October [[3050]] the Twenty-seventh suffered devastating losses to the invading [[12th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Twelfth Bear Chevaliers]] of [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces on [[Soverzene]]. A bare handful of Combine soldiers survived the assault, and the unit was not re-formed.<ref name=MFSp35>''My Father's Sword, p 35''</ref> The Twenty-seventh fought alongside the [[Second Alshain Regulars]] on Soverzene; both regiments were determined to exact a toll on the Ghost Bears, and ''Tai-sa'' Yoshiro of the Twenty-seventh and ''Tai-sa'' [[Ano Tars]] of the Second established supply caches across the main continent on Soverzene to support the mobile defense they planned to conduct. Soverzene had two major cities, one of which - Averti - was assigned to the Twenty-seventh to protect. [[Khan]] [[Bjorn Jorgensson]] deployed the entire of [[Beta Galaxy (Clan Ghost Bear)|Beta Galaxy]] in the assault on Soverzene once he learned that there were two DCMS line regiments on the planet, and the Twenty-seventh found itself facing both the Twelfth and [[14th Bear Chevaliers (Clan Ghost Bear)|Fourteenth Bear Chevaliers]]. The Twenty-seventh had prepared a trap near the Killimangero fjords, and used air strikes to herd the two Ghost Bear [[Cluster]]s towards the narrow waterways; aware they were being manipulated, the Chevaliers were cautious in their approach, and when they found two [[companies]] of 'Mechs from the Twenty-seventh waiting at the edge of the waterways, only a single [[Trinary]] was sent forward to investigate. The two companies from the Twenty-seventh used [[jump jet]]s to retreat down one cliff face and then up another, while detonating explosives that tumbled the Trinary down into the fjord.<ref name="ICp24">''Invading Clans'', p. 24-25, "Wave Four: Redemption"</ref>

In October [[3050]] the '''Twenty-seventh''' suffered devastating losses to the invading [[Clan Ghost Bear]] forces on [[Soverzene]].
 
 
Whilst the gambit was successful, its effects were limited; only a few of the Chevalier [[OmniMech]]s were destroyed by the trap, and the retreating 'Mech companies were flanked by the Fourteenth, sending many of the Twenty-seventh's 'Mechs into the fjord in turn. It was at this point that Yoshiro counterattacked with the remainder of the Twenty-seventh, emerging from the cover that had been provided by trees within the fjord, provoking the bulk of the Twelfth and Fourteenth Bear Chevaliers to plunge into the waterways to battle them. Yoshiro then quickly led his forces into escape tunnels hewn roughly into the rock, believing that the Ghost Bears were in pursuit, and detonated explosives hidden within the tunnels when his forces were clear. Content that his troops were victorious, Yoshiro led the Twenty-seventh back to Averti, only to fall victim to the Ghost Bears that night; the Ghost Bears had suspected a trap, and used [[Elemental]]s to explore the tunnels while the 'Mechs were battling within the fjord, and those Elementals had found and disarmed the bulk of the explosives. As a result, the attack launched that night at Averti saw the Ghost Bears capture Averti by surprise and with minimal bloodshed.<ref name="ICp24"/>
 
 
 
While the Twenty-seventh had been battling the two clusters of Chevaliers, the Second had found itself trapped between two full-strength assault clusters. Having taken heavy losses, the survivors from the Second staged a rescue mission at Averti, freeing those survivors of the Twenty-seventh who had been captured, and their equipment; the survivors from both regiments then spent two weeks being pursued and hunted by the Ghost Bears across Soverzene before all of the [[Bloodname]]d warriors were recalled to [[Strana Mechty]] for the election of a new [[ilKhan]], at which point some elements of the two DCMS regiments managed to escape offworld.<ref name="ICp24"/>
