History
Formation during Clan Invasion
The Third Night Stalkers regiment was raised after Theodore Kurita's Phoenix Programs fell short of the need for new units. Retired warriors were offered one more chance to fight, and officers were transferred in from the Second. As of 3059, the unit was stationed on Xinyang.[1]
Operation Bulldog
After defeating Clan Nova Cat forces on Sawyer, the Third Night Stalkers and 6th Ghost regiment attacked Clan Smoke Jaguar forces on Schwartz.[2][3]
FedCom Civil War
During the FedCom Civil War, the Third was deployed to the Lyons Thumb as part of the peacekeeping force. A battalion of the Third was stationed on Yorii when mercenaries disguised as Lyran troops hit the world. The Stalkers drove them off-world.[4]
