All members of the Rasalhague Regulars underwent intense screening by the [[ISF]]; Only the [[Sword of Light]] regiments were placed under more detailed scrutiny.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 100</ref> ==History== ==History== − ===Star League=== − In 2765, the Fifth Rasalhague Regulars were stationed on [[Sternwerde]] and remained there until the start of the First Succession War.<ref>''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', p. 16: "Rasalhague Regulars"</ref> − ===First Succession War=== − The Fifth Rasalhague Regulars, an Assault weight regiment, was involved in the fighting along the [[Lyran Commonwealth]] border during the [[First Succession War]]. They survived the fighting and ended the war stationed on [[Halesowen]]. They had experienced 58% losses.<ref>''First Succession War'', p. 137: "Deployment Table"</ref> − ===Second Succession War=== + ==Officers== − The Fifth Rasalhague Regulars remained on [[Halesowen]] when the war started.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 97: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery: Deployment Table"</ref> − The Fifth Rasalhague Regulars participated in [[Operation Chopin]] by assaulting the world of [[Kobe]] with the [[2nd Rasalhague Regulars|Second Rasalhague Regulars]] in [[2835]]. There they fought against the [[Fourth Royal Guards]] and the [[Thirteenth Arcturan Guards]]. The Lyrans were able to separate the Regulars from their dropships, but were unable to land a killing blow against the [[DCMS]] units due to their maneuverability. The Combine troops were then able to turn the tables with their speed and land several damaging blows with lightning raids. This led to the phrase "a Kobe dance" arising in the [[Draconis Combine]] to honor the Regulars victories. The phrase was used to describe a small, fast opponent maneuvering around a heavier, slower one.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 44: "In the Manner of a Fantasy"</ref> − At the end of the Second Succession War, the Fifth Rasalhague Regulars returned to their posting on Halesowen.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 97: "Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery: Deployment Table"</ref>+ ==Tactics== − − ===Third Succession War=== − In [[3025]] the unit was stationed on [[Jabuka]].<ref name=HKDCp135/> − ===Fourth Succession War=== − Defending Jabuka were the [[Fifth Rasalhague Regulars]], commanded by [[General]] [[Hichi Kanuchiwan]], when the [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]] dispatched the [[Nineteenth Arcturan Guards]] to capture the planet in the opening wave of [[Operation GÖTTERDÄMMERUNG]], the major [[Lyran Commonwealth]] offensive of the [[Fourth Succession War]]. The Nineteenth's Commanding Officer, [[Leutnant-Colonel]] [[Yvonne Deltra]], won a minor skirmish against the Fifth, prompting an extreme response from General Kanuchiwan; shocked and shamed by his defeat at the hands of a Lyran woman, Kanuchiwan committed ''seppuku''. This left his Executive Officer commanding the Fifth; unfortunately for the Fifth, Kanuchiwan's XO was a poor tactician, and within a week the Nineteenth had forced the Fifth to abandon Jabuka.<ref name="NAIS4SWp51">''NAIS The Fourth Succession War Military Atlas Volume 1'', p. 51: "Other Early Action"</ref> − ====Ronin War==== + ==Composition== − During the [[Ronin War]] the Fifth Regulars were placed on [[Alshain]]. Declared ''ronin'' by [[Theodore Kurita]] the Fifth was defending several supply depots that were being used by the renegade [[DCMS]] forces. To destroy the invaders, the High Command dispatched ''[[Ryuken-ni]]''. After stinging the Regulars for three days, ''Ryuken-ni'' sent their entire force against the Regulars' lines. This attack smashed two-thirds of the unit completely, and the remaining Regulars surrendered when they discovered they were surrounded. The survivors were held in a prisoner of war camp until after the Ronin War ended.<ref>''Historical: Brush Wars'', p. 110</ref> − − ==Officers== − {| class="wikitable" − |- − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Rank − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Name − ! scope="col" width="220" style="background: #dedede;" | Command − |- − | colspan="4" style="background: #efefef;" | '''Commanding Officers of the 5th Rasalhague Regulars''' − |- − | ''[[Sho-sho]]''||[[Michael O'Connor]]||[[2835]]<ref name=SSWp44>''Second Succession War'', p. 44: "In the Manner of a Fantasy"</ref> − |- − | [[General]]||[[Hichi Kanuchiwan]]||[[3025]] - [[3028]]<ref name="NAIS4SWp51"/> − |- − |} − − ==Tactics== − The unit was skilled in riot control.<ref name=HBHSp145>''House Kurita (The Draconis Combine)'', p. 145</ref> − ==Composition History== − === 2765 === − '''Fifth Rasalhague Regulars''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name="FR2765DCMSp1516">''Field Report 2765: DCMS'', pp. 15-16: "Rasalhague Regulars"</ref> − :- At this point in time the First was based on [[Sternwerde]] and was supported by three armor regiments and five infantry regiments.<ref name="FR2765DCMSp1516"/> − === 2786 - 2821=== + ==Notes== − '''5th Rasalhague Regulars ''' (Regiment/Regular/Reliable)<ref name= FSSp137 >''First Succession War'', p. 137</ref> − : Note: At this point in time the assault-weight unit was stationed on [[Sternwerde]].
