Unit Description
The Third Drakøns is a Clan Ghost Bear/Rasalhague Dominion second-line combat unit which typically staffed with freeborn/native Inner Sphere warriors.
Unit History
Formation
After the merging of the Republic into the Ghost Bear Dominion, Clan Ghost Bear would by 3074 would re-organize the KungsArmé into a new Clan oriented military fighting force. Honoring the Free Rasalhague Republic's military past, the Clan retain the old KungsArmé regiments and remade into Clan Clusters, including the Third Drakøns.
Staffed by native Rasalhaguians and former KungsArmé soldiers, as part of the Clan's traditions they would have to under take series of Trials of Position to reattain their places in reformed unit. The Cluster along with other former KungsArmé regiments, would be reassigned to the newly formed Tundra Galaxy. The unit would soon be redeployed within the Dominion in order to free of Clan frontline Combat units to fight the Word of Blake in the Jihad.[1][2][3]
During the brief KungsArmé rebellion in 3076, the unit would not act in resentment of the treatment of fellow soldiers of the former KungsArmé who refused demoted or returned civilian life due to failure of winning their Trials of Position.[4]
