History

Formation

The Seventh Ghost regiment was mostly composed of undesirables, reformed criminals, and yakuza. The commanders of the 7th worked very hard to make their warriors look to their future instead of their past. One key to this success was the commander's judgment of the warriors based solely on their performance in the regiment.[1]

Ronin Wars


War of 3039

The 7th Ghost were send together with the 8th Ghost as release force to the belaguered 2nd Shin Legion on Sadalbari. The Legion was at the point of total destruction, because they faced two Davion RCTs the 5th Davion Guards and 3rd FedCom RCT. The fresh troops suprised the invaders with a combat drop at head of the 3rd Fed Com. The continued pressure were to much for the 3rd and the 5th suffer also horrendous loses. The FedCom troops retreated withno reinforcement in jump range. [2]

Clan Invasion


Operation Bulldog


Dominion War

Located on Matsuida after Operation Bulldog, the 7th Ghost sent two battalions to the Ghost Bear front while leaving the third behind to garrison the planet.[3] While those two battalions were away, the Federated Suns hit Matsuida, destroying the 7th Ghost's third battalion. The AFFS forces were forced off-world by the returning two battalions of the 7th Ghost and several other DCMS units.[3]

Federated Suns Incursion

The 7th Ghost took the world of Harrow's Sun for the Combine.[4]

Jihad

They were ordered garrison Marduk in the early years of the Jihad. Federated Suns forces raided the planet several times, and the Seventh requested permission to retaliate. Unfortunately a Black Dragon Society sympathizer rerouted the Seventh's requests and so the Seventh simply held their post for several years. After the 1st Ghost left Fellanin II a rebellion broke out. In 3075 Tai-shu Isoroku Kurita personally ordered the Seventh to destroy the rebellion. Unfortunately the Black Dragon Society-controlled Sabre Cat was orbiting the world and destroyed two of the Seventh's DropShips. Despite this the Seventh was successful in purging the Black Dragons from Fellanin II. They remain on the world in 3079.[5]

Dark Age

After the Jihad the Ghost Regiments were officially disbanded.[citation needed]

Officers

Tai-sa Tosakin Kaitu leads the command in 3059[1]. In 3067 the 7th Ghost was commanded by Tai-sa Monique Chesque.[6]

Tactics

The unit prepares itself for any future engagement with the Smoke Jaguars. Defensive tactics are best suited for such a case. Most of the unit is equipped with heavy or assault class units. The 7th Ghost was also one of the few Ghost Regiments to have a company of Battle Armor-equipped infantry.[1]
