The Third Pesht Regulars were a Light BattleMech Regiment in the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery.


History

Disbandment

The 3rd Pesht Regulars were stationed alongside the 11th Pesht Regulars on Teniente in January 3052 when Clan Nova Cat launched an invasion of the planet. The 3rd and the 11th tried to fight using zellbrigen and were decimated as a result; the remains of both regiments came under the command of Hohiro Kurita, who led them in a guerrilla campaign until forces commanded by Prince Victor Steiner-Davion extracted Hohiro and the survivors from Teniente. The few survivors of the 3rd Pesht Regulars were most likely reassigned to other units.[1]

The Third Battalion of the Third Regulars was destroyed when their Tai-sa ordered them to charge a Clan Nova Cat position.[2] Hohiro Kurita took command of the Third and ordered the Tai-sa offworld. When the Tai-sa arrived on Luthien, Takashi Kurita ordered him to commit seppuku to atone for his failure.[3]

At the same time, the Third (and 11th Pesht Regulars) were combined into a new force, the 311th Pesht Regulars.[4] They broke into more mobile forces and harrassed the Clan forces.[5]

Reconstruction

After the Jihad and the formation of The Republic of the Sphere several units who lost their homeworlds were reassigned to existing DCMS units. One such unit was the 3rd Proserpina Hussars. The Hussars were reduced to a third of their nominal strength. To rebuild that unit, and add some extra strength to the Pesht Regulars, the survivors of the Third Proserpina Hussars were redesignated the new Third Pesht Regulars and rebuilt with veterans of other Regulars units. The former Hussars have inspired their new arrivals to higher efforts and greater performance on the battlefield. The Third also benefits from the presence of the Hussar's former officers, many of whom are instructors in the Hussar's mobile academy. This academy followed the Hussars into the Regulars, and provides training in the tactics that served the Proserpina Hussars well.[6]

Officers

As of 3025 the commanding officer was General Kester Hsiun Chi[7]

As of 3050 the commanding officer was Tai-sa Alfred Tojiiro.[8]

As of 3085 the commanding officer was Tai-sa Nanami Ueno.[9]

Tactics

The Third are experts in the field of reconnaissance.

Notes

The disbandment of the 3rd Pesht Regulars was confirmed by Øystein Tvedten, Strategic Assistant and BattleTech Developer for Catalyst Game labs:

The Third and Eleventh Pesht Regulars was effectively wiped out on Teniente in January 3052 as the world came under attack by Clan Nova Cat, who sent two assault clusters to take the world.

Hohiro assumed command after both regiments had been decimated trying to fight using zellbrigen, and assumed an guerrilla campaign that Prince Victor Steiner-Davion had to extract him from, at Omi's behest. The small number of survivors which was extracted was probably reassigned to other units.
