| Sixth Arkab Legion | |
| Nickname | Desert Nomads |
| Affiliation | Draconis Combine |
| Parent Command | Arkab Legion |
The Sixth Arkab Legion is a Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery unit that was formed after the destruction of the Fifth Arkab Legion during the Second Succession War.[1]
Contents
History[edit]
Third Succession War[edit]
In 3025, they were stationed on Arkab.[2] They had not seen much action in either the Third or Fourth Succession Wars. The unit was typically stationed on Arkab and was only called to active duty in times of great need.
Dominion War[edit]
The Sixth Arkab Legion sent a single battalion of troops to Meilen to support the Seventeenth Galedon Regulars. The Legion forces were too late to save the Regulars, but did harass the Clan Ghost Bear force until the end of the conflict.[3]
Jihad[edit]
On February 12, 3071 several asteroids struck Arkab.[4] After trying for six months, the Arkab leadership wasn't able to get any help from the Draconis Combine leadership. The Sixth Legion was already in place, helping the planet recover from the attacks. Kanrei Kiyomori Minamoto sent several demands and threats to the 6th Legion and all Arkab leaders, but the Legions refused to leave their homeworlds.
In 3079, with the Jihad winding down, the Sixth Legion stationed its units on Dabih and Albalii.[5]
Republic Era[edit]
In 3085, the Sixth was assigned to garrison Minakuchi. There they hoped to receive word of Black Dragon Society activity so they could avenge themselves and their countrymen on the traitors, but no word was forthcoming.[6]
Dark Age[edit]
As of 3145, the Sixth had entrenched themselves on Arkab. Additionally, they caused some concern by ignoring all requests to move to garrisons among the newly conquered worlds from the invasion of the Federated Suns. This is due to the CO of the Sixth believing unfounded rumors that the ISF wanted their world left undefended so they could more easily infiltrate the government. The CO considered it his duty to prevent this from happening.[7]

Tactics[edit]
