History

Formation

The 3rd Dieron Regulars were formed at some point prior to 2581.[1]

Reunification War

The 3rd Dieron Regulars were active during the Reunification War, acting as one of several DCMS BattleMech regiments assigned to an ad-hoc corps in support of the Star League Defense Force task force responsible for invading the Outworlds Alliance. This invasion, named Operation UNION HOLD, saw the 3rd Dieron Regulars tasked with occupying several Alliance worlds as garrison forces and pacifying any resistance on these worlds, replacing Star League Defense Force garrisons.[1]

Responsible for providing a garrison for the world of Bad News and support for various regiments of the Galedon Regulars attacking Kazanka, Nexus Ri and Zlatousi, the 3rd Dieron Regulars garrison on Bad News would be subject to a heavy attack from the 2nd Pitcairn Legion in 2583. The 3rd Dieron Regulars forces on Bad News at the time consisted of a single battalion of BattleMechs, supported by two regiments of infantry and two more of armor, whereas the 2nd Pitcairn Legion was a full BattleMech regiment; the Pitcairn Legion spent three weeks attacking the 3rd Dieron Regulars and their supporting forces, almost destroying the complete battalion. Despite this, the 3rd Dieron Regulars were able to hold Bad News for the Combine.[2][3]

4th Succession War

During the 4th Succession War, the Third raided the world of Lyons. On orders to wipe out the settlement of New Freedom. [4] On May, 5th, 3029 the regiment strikes the city, and over course of two days slaughters the population. On the 17th, the Kell Hounds mercenary unit arrives and conducts a sneak attack against the Regulars. The Kell Hounds' 1st Battalion overran the 3rd Command HQ and killing regiment's commander. After realizing that the unit was cut off from its DropShips, the 3rd in command Tai-sa Hiro Akuto surrenders. [5]

In late 3021 The Third suffered severe casualties assisting in the defense of the Kurita world of Dromini VI against large scale operations by the Wolf's Dragoons mercenary unit employ of House Steiner[6].

Ronin Wars


War of 3039


Clan Invasion

At the start of 3050, the Third was stationed on Konstance[7] Early in the Clan Invasion, the DCMS moved many regiments from their garrison positions to the Clan front, thus leaving many important worlds without protection. The Third were split in two, 1st and 2nd Battalions moving to guard Dieron while the 3rd Battalion guards the world Altair. [8]

Operation Bulldog

The Third maintained its positions on Dieron and Altair, these worlds being too strategically important to the Combine to leave unguarded, and no other units being available to take the position.

Dominion War

The command was task with the important defense of Dieron and Altair. Both are planets with important military value. As neither world was attacked, they saw no combat.

Federated Suns Incursion

After the redeployement of the Eridani Light Horse command to Dieron, the Third could share the burden to defend this planet with another unit.

Jihad

The Third were prepared for the Word of Blake invasion of Dieron, but by March 3068 most of their fixed positions were overrun by the Blakists. Only the arrival of the 10th Ghost prevented them from collapsing completely. They ceased to be an effective combat unit in 3070 when their headquarters was overrun; The remnants of the Third surrendered shortly thereafter. Survivors of the unit scattered across the world; some were captured by the Blakist forces. [9]

Officers

Tactics

The unit specializes in Urban Combat, in Succession Wars era was considered a Medium 'Mech Unit.[13]
